Can’t afford to visit the dermatologist? Don’t fret. It’s Curél to the rescue! On February 18th, Curél launched a new interactive, online tool, the Skin Advisor, that offers skin analysis and provides advice on common skincare issues.
What’s the state of your skin? Is it healthy and you want to keepit that way? Do you suffer from a particular problem, like extreme itchiness or sensitivity? And what about the skin of the people you love? Curél wants to help you understand your skin. That’s why they’ve enlisted dermatologist Dr. Sapna Westley to help answer your questions, and why they’ve created the Skin Advisor.
Here’s what Dr. Westley has to say about the Curél Skin Advisor.
“I partnered with Curél to create the Skin Advisor, an interactive tool on curel.com designed to help users identify and address skincare concerns like dryness, itching, allergies and eczema, to name a few. 10-20% of children have eczema, and many continue to suffer in adulthood. One of the most common complaints I see in my office is dry skin, itchiness and skin prone to rashes. People don’t know what regimen is right for their skin and many times parents are also confused what they should be using for their children’s skin.”
“I worked closely with Curél to develop a series of questions that recreate the experience of visiting the dermatologist’s office. When users answer the questions provided, the Skin Advisor generates a customized analysis of their skin concerns as well as lifestyle tips and Curél product recommendations to treat those concerns. The advisor is very detailed, asking questions about skin type and very specific questions about symptoms people experience, just like I ask my own patients. The analysis generated is also very detailed and gives very useful tips and recommendations for people to start treating their skin. There is also a helpful allergen guide that people can navigate if they suspect they may be allergic to something they are coming into contact with. It actually can help target a specific ingredient that they can look for on product labels.”
“Once consumers complete the Skin Advisor questionnaire, they can read more about the various skin issues covered at curel.com. If users still have additional questions, they can submit those questions online and I will answer them personally and provide additional insight.”
“While serious skin conditions require a dermatologist’s attention, the Curél Skin Advisor offers an advanced skin analysis and provides valuable advice for people seeking relief from common skincare issues, putting the cure in Curél.”
