Curél Hydra Therapy Itch Defense Wet Skin Moisturizer

This product is absolutely amazing! My skin was so dry and itchy during the winter. I was so uncomfortable! This product made my skin soft and supple and completely eliminated the itchy feeling. Even if I skip using it for a few days my skin still stays moisturized. You apply the lotion during the shower and don’t wash it off. Initially this felt very strange to me but I have gotten used to it. I pat my skin dry with a towel and try not to rub off the lotion. It dries quickly with absolutely no stickiness, just incredibly soft and moisturized skin. I bought a bottle for all the showers in my house. My young adult kids love it too and it’s fragrance free so my sons don’t feel like they smell like a rose garden. Fantastic product and so very effective.

This is my new go-to moisturizer. I deal with mild to severe eczema so applying this on wet skin seems to help my skin from drying & flaking out a LOT-- especially during the dry months. It's a good combo to use along with my prescribed medical cream; it helps with the healing process of my most severe, dry rashes by moisturizing twice a day daily. Applying this moisturizer makes my skin feel smooth & NOT sticky! It's not a miracle maker for very dry, cracked / split open skin areas, but it does a better job in terms of moisturizing and itch relief compared to other lotions and creams I previously used.

I ordered these products after searching for a good moisturizing lotion for Psoriasis. I have severe psoriasis and the body wash was good and didn’t irritate my skin. The smell is pleasant and very light. The lotion is the real star though! After showering my skin is usually itching and burning but the moment I applied the lotion, my skin was soothed and it lasted all day! The lotion doesn’t have a distinct smell and it doesn’t leave you feeling greasy or oily. I definitely recommend this lotion for anyone who suffers from skin conditions!

I have been using this product daily for a couple of years. I appreciate how it keeps my skin moisturized. It may not be practical for people who prefer to towel dry completely after showering. For it to work well, it is best to let it dry on moist skin or lightly pat dry. My one consistent complaint is the bottle! It NEVER works until the product is empty. I always have to unscrew the top and dab it out and I don't mean a little bit of remnants at the bottom. There is alot of product that cannot be pumped out in the end (about one weeks worth). This hasn't made me cancel this product yet, but if I found something else that works as well with a better design, I would surely make the switch.

My 66 year old skin has caused a lot of itching lately, mostly at night. Google diagnosed dry skin due to age and dry winter air and suggested trying a skin cream specifically for itching. After a day of use my skin felt smoother and five days in of daily applications I no longer have any issues. So great results and very reasonable price, what’s not to like?!

TL;DR: So this product is marked misleadingly you’ll receive the sensitive skin fragrance free variety (bottle in picture), not the Itch Defense variety. Still, I bought this for someone with dry skin/kidney issues who DESPISES moisturizing and they now use it everyday. 10/10 for a fussy user in Chicago winter. I bought this product for someone who hates moisturizing. We live in Chicago and the combo of dry winter air + heat + and a health condition (affecting kidney fxn) meant that this person was dealing with super itchy skin. My goal was to find a product that didn’t need to be babied to work right; this fit the bill and more. The texture is more similar to body wash. You can haphazardly slather it on and the end of your shower and literally wipe it right off afterwards as you towel dry. You don’t have to deal with shivering in a cold bathroom and massaging in an ice cold lotion like other brands. It also feels like a gel lotion but moisturizes with the might of a thick cream. The bottle is a decent size. Used daily for a tall, 6 ft person, I think I’d have to replace every 2 months. I may try the actual itch defense variety next, but was pleasantly surprised by the sensitive skin variety that effectively stopped his itching. It’s nice that the product is available here as I haven’t seen it in stores. This in-shower lotion seems more akin to “medical” brands like cetaphil/Eucerin/vanicream than something scented and cosmetic like Nivea. No bells or whistles here I don’t often leave reviews. But this product was a solution that resoundingly solved a long-term issue of itchiness during a stressful time. I’m a forever fan!

I am usually so picky about lotions since they tend to be greasy and annoying to apply. This one soaks in fast, hydrates my skin and it doesn't have a scent. Please don't ever discontinue this Curel, this is my holy grail.

I have the most sensitive skin in the world, I kid you not. With chemical, environmental, and food allergies, I must be especially careful with what goes in, on, and around my body at all times. After trying a sample of this product from someone, I was genuinely amazed that I didn’t break out in hives; it was a game changer! Fast forward five years, and I use it daily, alongside their body wash. My skin feels softer than ever, and despite living in a hot climate year-round, I haven’t experienced a single instance of chafing. I even unintentionally tested this on vacation, where I faced some chafing after day two without it. This product has been a lifesaver, preventing any adverse skin reactions and acting as a protective barrier against pollutants that would normally irritate my sensitive skin. I’ve convinced about 12 others to hop on the Curel bandwagon, and they're thrilled with the results. Thank you, Curel, for providing such a simple, affordable solution that truly stands out as the best option for skincare on the market!
