Cur%C3%A9l Together Advanced Ceramides Hydrating Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "Really works well for winter's dry itchy skin. Helps to soften dry elbows or knees."
• "This is the only lotion that has made a dent - within 2-3 days of applying it after bath, two large patches on my toddler's lower back that had persisted despite liberal application of CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for weeks, the red, rough, angry patches were 90% reduced."
• "I love this product! My daughter and I both use it and since buying this, my mother-in-law bought some because she loved it so much."
• "This is wonderful! So moisturizing for my son's eczema."
• "I've had eczema pretty much as long as I can remember. I really am particular about lotions and I couldn't be happier with Curel."
• "This lotion is amazing. I’ve been looking for something that will help my son’s dry skin and patches of eczema. This one totally takes care of him!"
• "Both of my children have had eczema. My youngest has it exceptionally bad, with scaly red patches on his arms, legs, back, cheeks, and hands. This is the only lotion that has made a dent."

Cons:

• "Not only did this product make my skin even worse, it's also extremely dangerous and should be taken off any kind of shelving for someone to purchase."
• "Didn’t help with itching, made it worse, will throw it out!"
• "I got this based on the good reviews. I have eczema and itch all the time. This made the itching worse and felt sticky and heavy on my skin."
• "As a typical daily moisturizer, this works fine. No particular anti-itch properties beyond that, though, which left me disappointed."
• "This one seems a bit sticky, and almost made my skin a bit sensitive."
• "It’s that horrible type of cream that rolls into little balls if you touch your skin."
• "A pretty thick lotion that you can feel on your skin for 24 hours but unfortunately didn't help my itching at all."

Texture and Scent

Pros:

• "This Curel lotion has oatmeal extract but actually smells good."
• "The lotion has a very silky slip to it and the fragrance is ever so slight of oranges that does not linger."
• "It's heavily moisturizing without feeling heavy at all and completed scent free."
• "This lotion does not have a bad scent or smell, it's fragrance free."
• "Doesn't have a terrible medicated smell like some others we have tried."
• "It's white but slightly translucent which reflects the highly emollient ingredients like petrolatum and dimethicone."
• "I love that there aren’t any fragrances that will irritate my skin."

Cons:

• "It does remain 'tacky' for awhile after application."
• "Only problem is that it does make my skin feel a little sticky and that feeling lasts quite awhile."
• "This one seems a bit sticky, and almost made my skin a bit sensitive."
• "This lotion goes on feeling great but try adding more throughout the day and you come away with a sticky mess."
• "It's definitely on the heavy side, you can really feel that 'barrier' on the skin."
• "It doesn’t 'set off' my eczema…. But it doesn’t prevent or soothe the itchiness at all."
• "This lotion is thick like a cream, too thick and sticky, it's hard to spread and apply and it takes forever to absorb."

Packaging and Price

Pros:

• "The price! I had spent hours comparing labels on some very expensive eczema-friendly moisturizers and here was one that seemed to fit the bill AND came in a huge 20 ounce bottle for a very fair price."
• "This product is overall a good spend considering you receive a giant bottle for only $6 or so."
• "Great price too for such a big bottle."
• "It is also much cheaper than in my local store. I usually can find it here on Amazon for $7-8 vs around $11 at my local pharmacy or big box chain store."
• "Amazon offers the larger bottle for a great price, too."
• "Its a really good deal for lotion $5 and it helps with the itchiness!"
• "I love that they’re finally starting to make larger bottles."

Cons:

• "Side note the pump for the bottle did come broken."
• "So disappointed as the pump dispenser doesn't work & it's impossible to get the thick lotion out of the tall bottle."
• "I hope they can find a way to ship this so the pump does not get broken."
• "I love the feel of the lotion but like A LOT of others the item arrived with a broken pump."
• "Does the manufacturer realize that almost 3% of each bottle is wasted because the plunger tube does not go to the bottom???!!!"
• "Cant return ?? It smells horrible. Has that wet sour towel smell."
• "The lotion is fine, but I bought 2 bottles and on both of them the squirt dispenser plunge stopped working."
