Cure Natural Aqua Gel Review – the Cult Japanese Exfoliator

by Product Reviews, Cleansing, Japanese Skincare

We all yarn for perfectly clear skin and use exfoliators in the hope that they would cleanse pores. And yet, sometimes they seem to do little to fix the problem or even cause some skin troubles.

Where is THE exfoliator that does the job in a skin-friendly way?!

 

There is one gentle exfoliator that solves all of our miseries.

It’s “Cure Natural Aqua Gel” – the cult Japanese exfoliator.

 

This is my honest Cure Natural Aqua Gel review as a Japanese girl who has been using it for more than a decade.

 

I’m from Japan and have always had a rigid Japanese skincare routine since I was 13 and have tried so many exfoliators in my life. And yet, I knew none of my exfoliators was quite doing good for my sensitive skin. That was until I met this legendary exfoliator called Cure Natural Aqua Gel.

 

When I switched to Cure Natural Aqua Gel, my dry skin got cured, and I had fewer breakouts. My skin got softer and started to glow. I’ve stopped looking elsewhere, and I’ve completely hooked on this MAGICAL exfoliator ever since.

 

Cure Natural Aqua Gel has literally saved my life, and I know I’m now exfoliating with the right type of product to maintain good skin.

 

My love for Cure Natural Aqua Gel is still going strong since I discovered it about 10 years ago. So here it is my honest review of this super exfoliator.

 

“Cure Natural Aqua Gel – Japan’s bestselling exfoliator of all time.”

 

Let’s dive in!

 

Cure Natural Aqua Gel Review

 

 

What is Cure Natural Aqua Gel?

Natural Aqua Gel Cure is a Japanese revolutionary exfoliator, and it’s been raking No.1 in the cleansing sector in Japan for the last 15 years.

 

The light-weighted gel has also gained fans across the globe and achieved its cult status, thanks to its super gentle, chemical-free formula.

It exfoliates skin without causing any irritation, so it’s sensitive skin-friendly.

 

91% of it is made of water – hydrogen water which prevents oxidation and has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ageing benefits.

It is fragrance-free, colour-free, and preservatives-free.

 

Other key ingredients include aloe leaf, rosemary, and ginkgo biloba extracts, which work to kill bacteria, moisturise and soothe skin. Unlike other popular exfoliators, your skin remains hydrated while exfoliating.

Plus, it’s safe for all skin types, from oily and acne-prone to dry and sensitive skin. Most say it works wonders and it can even give you similar results to a chemical peel.

 

 

Who is Cure Natural Aqua Gel for?

 

Since it’s mostly made of water with no artificial colours or preservatives, it is safe for all skin types. It’s so gentle that it works well on sensitive skin like mine.

Natural Aqua Gel Cure gently removes the dead and dry, rough skin. It’s a perfect option if you are looking for some exfoliator that is mild and yet clears the skin like you’ve just been to a facial!

It simply removes dead skin without peeling, which is what you need if you are looking to keep a natural glow on the skin.

 

How Does Cure Natural Aqua Gel Work?

 

It’s designed to react to protein (old dead skin) only and remove it to enhance skin metabolism. It removes the thin layer of unwanted dead skin, unlike chemical peels which use strong acids to dissolve protein.

You can see how it all the magic works in this video from the official Cure’s site:

While removing dead skin, the key ingredients (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Gingko Biloba Leaf Extract and Rosemary Leaf Extract) help retain moisture, improves skin’s resiliency and prevent acne and blemishes.

 

Why is Cure Natural Aqua Gel So Special?

 

I cannot stress enough, but it is SO gentle but SUPER effective 🙂 Every time I use it, I can feel my skin gets clearer and SO SMOOTH.

Personally, I used to worry like “what if I’m drying my skin by exfoliating and actually ageing faster than I realise.”

But since Cure Natural Aqua Gel came into my life, I’ve not worried a bit. In fact, I look forward to my once-a-week deep cleansing ritual because I know it makes my skin glow and radiate!

 

 

Beauty Benefits of Cure Natural Aqua Gel

 

Here is a summary of the key benefits you can expect to see.

All the benefits below are what I personally experienced and am still thrilled about 😉

 

cure natural aqua gel review benefits

 

Anti-ageing

Since it’s made of water with no colours, no fragrance and no preservatives, it is gentle on the skin and helps the skin age slower.

 

Fewer skin troubles (acne, breakouts)

It gently removes the dead skin and enhances the skin’s turnover, which in turn promotes clearer and resilient skin. You will have fewer skin problems when the skin functions healthily.

 

Helps other skincare products work better

Removing the dead rough skin helps your other skincare products can penetrate better. A layer of unwanted dead skin just 0.01 millimetres thick will affect how your skin absorbs active ingredients of your skincare products.

 

Facial effect without peeling

Thanks to the magical formula, no need to add pressure when applying, no worries about straining the skin, unlike chemical peels. It reacts to dead skin cells with only gentle massaging.

 

Will leave your skin moisturised after rinse

Its key ingredients such as aloe leaf, ginkgo biloba and rosemary extract work to protect the skin and prevent dryness.

 

And there’s more!

 

Can be used for the whole body

➝ You can get smooth skin all over your body ❤️

Natural Aqua Gel” can be used not only on the face but on the whole body. It works well on areas like elbows, knees and heels where you tend to have rough skin.

It works on décolleté too.

The skin is very sensitive in the area, but Cure Natural Aqua Gel is so gentle that you do not need to worry.

 

 

How To Use Cure Natural Aqua Gel

 

Directions

 

  • Use it once or twice a week:
  • Gently massage – do NOT rub or scrub

1. Remove makeup and wash your face as usual

2. Dry your face completely

3. Apply 1 push (or more as needed) of the gel onto the face. Then massage very gently in a circular motion for 30 secs to 1 min. The gel will turn become liquid as you massage, which turns the dead cells into white beads

4. Rinse off with lukewarm water (approx. 30 – 35°C / 86 – 95°F)

5. Moisturise your skin with your usual lotion or essence, serum and cream.

 

 

Anything to be careful?

 

  • Do not apply if you have skin concerns (e.g. irritation, rashes, swelling, cuts etc.)
  • If the gel gets into eyes, rinse immediately with lukewarm water
  • Store the product in a cool, dry place
  • Do not rub the skin too hard
  • Once open, aim to use it within 6 months

 

If used for face only, 1 bottle should last more than 4 months.

 

But, highly recommended using it for other areas in the body where your skin feels dry and rough. It should dramatically improve over time and becomes smooth too!

 

Where To Buy Cure Natural Aqua Gel

 

You can easily get it online. There are a few sites you can get Cure Natural Aqua Gel.

Amazon is a good place to start. Usually, they can ship to most countries. 

 

Alternatively, you can get one directly from Japan too. There are a few sites I highly recommend.

 

kokoro japan store logodokodemo japan store logo

 

 

KOKORO Japan and DOKODEMO Japan are based in Japan and ship directly from Japan. I, as a Japanese person shop on those sites to get Japanese specific products as the customer service is excellent and I know I can shop with confidence. I love shopping on those sites!

 

Here are the links for each site to see the availability 🛒:

AMAZON ➝ (check)

KOKORO Japan ➝ (check)

DOKODEMO Japan ➝ (check)

 

The price is quite similar on all those sites around $38 (USD).

 

 

Is It Worth It?!

 

is it worth it love

To me, this is a NO Brainer. It’s only about $38 (official site) a bottle, and it lasts more than 4 months.

You can enjoy clear, smooth, supple skin without much skin trouble like dry skin or blemishes by basically investing $0.32/day on your skin! Think about that, it’s so cheap 😉

 

By investing $38 upfront (which equates to $0.32 daily), you can help your skin to be more resilient and have fewer skin problems all the while you get to have glowing skin.

Go oder one here today for your future.

 

I’ve been using it for over 10 years and I still get the same excitement every time I exfoliate my skin with Cure Natural Aqua Gel! I just love the feeling I get after use and the effects it has on my skin. 

 

Before Natural Aqua Gel, I was using mild exfoliators from Avenue, Caudalie or La Posay or ones that say at least for sensitive skin to protect my skin from harsh chemicals, but none of them beats Cure Natural Aqua Gel in terms of gentleness and effectiveness.

 

With all the magical benefits as I described above, you will be surprised how smooth your skin becomes once you start using it. It’s like you have a facial at home once or twice a week. Just like after a facial, you also would notice your skin absorbs all the good ingredients from essence, serum and cream better too.

 

Try Cure Natural Aqua Gel now to secure beautiful skin in the future.

 

It is anti-ageing, brightens the skin tone and smoothens the skin.

I really can’t think of what’s not to like! And I’m sure you will be hooked like all the other women around the globe who cannot stop raving about this magical gel!

 

Hope you enjoy the magic of Cure Natural Aqua Gel soon ✨
