Curél Plumping Moisturizing Gel-Essence 140 ml

When should you use this plumping moisturizing gel-essence?

Curél Plumping Hydrating Gel-Essence is the first step in Curél’s Anti-Aging Regenerating Routine, designed for dry and sensitive skin. This lightweight gel combines a ceramide-like active ingredient (cetyl-PG hydroxyethyl palmitamide) with glycerin, allantoin, and extracts of ginger root, eucalyptus, and Thujopsis dolabrata. It is the first step in a two-step anti-aging routine.

It provides gentle hydration for mature and sensitive skin, without the sticky feeling of a cream.

It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration.

The skin appears plump and smoother. Apply by gently patting it onto the face, neck, and décolletage, then follow with a day or night cream.

The gel-essence prepares the skin, while the cream locks in moisture. We recommend pairing it with the Eucerin UltraSensible Soothing Care for Dry Skin if you’re not using the creams from this line: its fragrance-free formula is suitable for the same skin types.

How do you apply this gel-essence before the cream?

Directions for Use

On a clean, dry face, dispense 3 to 4 pumps into the palm of your hand, then pat onto the face, neck, and décolletage until fully absorbed. Follow with a day or night cream.

Our Expert Tips on Curél Plumping Hydrating Gel-Essence

The application technique matters: pat the gel-essence onto the skin rather than spreading it, which allows it to absorb without pulling on delicate skin. It should be absorbed before applying the cream; if the cream “pills,” it’s often because the gel didn’t have time to absorb.

For combination and dehydrated skin, the gel-essence may be sufficient on its own during the day in the summer. For dry skin, it does not replace the cream: it prepares the skin for the cream’s action.
