These are answers to common questions about Corium 21 aloe vera cream. If you have other questions, please contact us by email, or call: (800) 319-5114.
Is CORIUM 21 Sold under any other name?
No, Genuine Corium 21 is sold only under the name Corium 21. Unscrupulous companies have attempted to claim they are Corium 21, or that they make a product “the same as” Corium 21 or have even claimed they are “the new” Corium 21.
Corium 21 is a proprietary formula and, if it does not say Corium 21 on the label, you have an imitation product. There is only one Rolex, and there is only one Corium 21.
Is Corium 21 a moisturizer?
Yes. It is an excellent aloe vera-based moisturizer and many customers who want beautiful skin use Corium 21 and have been with us for many years.
Can I use it on my face?
Absolutely! Corium 21 is gentle enough to be used as a daily moisturizer from head to toe.
Can I use Corium 21 with makeup?
Definitely. But remember this important point: Corium 21 absorbs quickly and deeply into the skin. Put it on before your makeup so it does not draw any harsh ingredients from your makeup into the skin.
If aloe vera is so good, why not sell just pure aloe?
Aloe vera is the predominant ingredient in Corium 21 but we have found that it takes the correct balance of nutrients, vitamins and emollients to deliver the full benefits of Corium 21 aloe deep into the skin. Having carefully balanced ingredients is one secret of Corium 21′s success.
What about dry skin?
The helpful properties of aloe vera have been known for thousands of years. Corium 21 is designed to effectively deliver the benefits of aloe vera but it is not, of course, a medical treatment. NOTE: Severely dry, cracked skin (especially if it is bleeding) can be a symptom of a medical condition and you should consult your doctor.
Both men and women whose work exposes them to skin drying conditions have reported great success with Corium 21. For example: auto mechanics who deal with grease and harsh cleaning agents and people whose hands are frequently in water (see aloe vera for dry hands). Aloe vera is a great relief for sunburn also.
Will Corium 21 work with my pets or horses?
Absolutely! Animals have skin problems too. Why keep Corium 21 a secret from them? Aloe vera will benefit them just as it does us. Our customers include horse trainers who have found Corium 21 very effective in helping their horses with skin conditions.
