Tsujimoto Market: Our Guarantees
Description
Curél Sebum Trouble Care Toner by Kao is a Japanese quasi-drug (医薬部外品) toner built for the awkward combination of oily and easily irritated skin. Its non-oily, water-light texture hydrates and supports the skin's own ceramides while a sebum-absorbing complex keeps shine down, and the active ingredient allantoin helps prevent acne and rough skin. Fragrance-free, colorant-free, and shipped directly from Japan.

- ✓ Supports the skin's own ceramides, so hydration is rebuilt rather than just sitting on the surface
- ✓ Eucalyptus extract as the moisture ingredient; fragrance-free and colorant-free, low-irritation formula
- ✓ Authentic Japanese product — ships direct from Japan

Who is this for?
Recommended for teenagers and adults with oily or combination skin that also gets red and reactive. Ideal if your skin is shiny by midday but still feels tight after washing — the usual sign that a drying "for oily skin" toner is doing more harm than good. It pairs directly with Curél Sebum Trouble Care Foaming Wash as the second step of the same routine. Also suitable as a light, unscented everyday toner for anyone who does not want a heavy layer of skincare.
How to use
Step 1. Cleanse your face and pat it dry.
Step 2. Press the pump three to four times into your palm.
Step 3. Press the toner into the skin over the whole face with your palms — do not rub or drag.
Step 4. Let it absorb before anything else. On dry patches, apply a second thin layer only where needed.
Amount: 3–4 pump presses. Frequency: morning and evening, after cleansing.
Tip: Oily skin is very often dehydrated skin. If the T-zone is greasy but the cheeks feel tight, use the full amount everywhere rather than skipping the toner on the oily areas.

FAQ
Q: My skin is oily. Do I really need a toner?
A: Yes, and this is the type to use. Skin that is stripped after cleansing compensates by producing more oil. A non-oily hydrating layer is what breaks that cycle — which is exactly what this formula was designed for.
Q: Is it suitable for a 12-year-old just starting a routine?
A: Yes. There is no minimum age on the label, it is fragrance-free and alcohol-sting-free, and two products — a gentle wash and this toner — is a sensible complete routine for young skin.
Q: How is this different from the regular Curél toner?
A: The regular Curél toners are built purely around dryness. This one is from the Sebum Trouble Care line: same ceramide-care philosophy, but with allantoin for breakout prevention and a shine-control, non-oily base.
Q: Do I need a moisturiser on top?
A: On oily skin in summer, often not. If your cheeks still feel tight after the toner absorbs, add a light gel moisturiser on the dry areas only.
Q: Is this the Japanese domestic version?
A: Yes — original Kao packaging, JAN 4901301264343, bought in Japan and shipped from Japan.
Q: Will I pay customs on this?
A: It depends on your country's rules and order value. Import duties and taxes are the buyer's responsibility; we ship from Japan with full tracking.
