Kao’s Curél launches “wearable stratum corneum care” for severely dry skin treatment
20 Feb 2024 --- Kao Corporation is unveiling Curél Outfit-for-Skin Potion and Curél Veil Creator to tackle severe skin dryness. They will be launching on April 4 this year.
With its latest line of skin care products, Curél, Kao’s global brand, specializes in skin science and offers a strategy for addressing extremely dry skin.
Curél Outfit-for-Skin Potion and Curél Veil Creator use ceramides and Kao’s “Fine Fiber Technology” to create an “ultra-thin, moisture-rich” veil that immediately covers the skin and penetrates deep into the stratum corneum, designed for relief and long-lasting hydration.

Curél Veil Creator.Kao claims that Curél Outfit-for-Skin Potion’s ultra-thin veil serves as a defense barrier, releasing moisturizing ingredients that hydrate and nourish the skin all night.
Unlike previous versions, the cosmetics giant says the new potion uses “bleed-out technology,” which ensures that moisturizing ingredients are fully absorbed into the skin for maximum efficacy.
The “bleed-out-technology” is a process for filling the spaces between the ultra-fine fibers of the veil with moisturizing ingredients to nourish the skin.
Collaboration for application
Kao and Panasonic Corporation worked together to create the cutting-edge Veil Creator diffuser, simplifying the application process.
The spray tool, which comes with Curél Outfit-for-Skin Potion, is said to deliver convenient and accurate moisture treatment for users by applying an ultra-thin veil to specific areas in seconds.
“The device is compact and freestanding for easy handling,” says Kao.
