For Extra Dry and Sensitive Skin
I have used several of the Curel lotions and I have been impressed with their moisturizing capabilities. My mom always had this lotion around the house when I was growing up because she had severely dry skin. Eventually she switched to an even better brand recommended by her doctor but for years she used the Curel lotions.
Curel Ultra Healing is for severely dry skin. It is a non-irritating formula so it’s perfect if you are sensitive to lotions or perfumes. A lot of really moisturizing lotions leave your skin with a thin greasy film that makes you scared to brush into anything for fear that you are going to leave big grease marks. But adding greasy lotions to your skin doesn’t help to keep them moisturized for long periods of time. A lot of times it can actually have the opposite effect that is desired. Curel Ultra Healing is a non-greasy formula so it can effectively put moisture into your skin without creating additional drying or irritating effects.
Charts and Graphs
Curel Ultra Healing displays several charts and graphs to illustrate the quality of their product. It was tested in a lab setting against untreated skin. The first part of the study they reference is in relation to the skin’s barrier. They say that after 8 hours of application the barrier was still in place because TransEpidermal Water Loss was three times lower than that of untreated skin.
They also measured the moisture of the skin and looked for signs of dryness after using Curel Ultra Healing. After 8 hours those who used this lotion had significantly more moisture in their skin. But they extend that even further to demonstrate that Curel Ultra Healing created more moisturized skin for up to 3 days after they stopped using the lotion.
The last thing the referenced was that Curel Ultra Healing improved the skin’s barrier more than by using 1% hydrocortisone cream. It can help to add moisture to the skin and to keep it there thus relieving symptoms of dry and itchy skin.

Is Curel Ultra Healing Right for You?
If your only problem is dry skin then using a lotion like Curel Ultra Healing can certainly help to provide relief. It is just another product that treats one aspect of eczema and ignores everything else that goes into it which is concerning. If you use Curel Ultra Healing then you will probably end up with a closet full of different treatment creams. One for itching, one for healing, and one for moisture. It’s a lot easier to use one cream that is effective at reducing every symptom of eczema at the same time then layering on several different creams in the hopes that you will find relief from eczema.
