CureTape® Gentle is ideal for those with sensitive skin, such as young children and elderly people, as it is kinesiology tape with a gentle adhesive. This makes it suitable for use on vulnerable areas such as the face or thin skin. All products in the CureTape® range are hypoallergenic and made in a factory in Korea. However, if someone with very sensitive skin has an allergic reaction, they should use a different type of tape. For tape applications that don’t need to last longer than a day, CureTape® Gentle is a great option. An added benefit of using this tape is that it is easier to remove than regular kinesiology tape such as CureTape® Classic.
CureTape® Gentle, is perfect for:
- Beauty taping
- Sensitive skin, commonly found in young children as well as the elderly.
- Thin skin.
- The diabetic skin.
- People that have problems with lymphatic circulation.
- Scar treatment
- Recovery after surgery.

How does CureTape® Gentle work?
After application this elastic tape provides a lifting effect of the skin. The lifting effect has a great effect on blood and lymph flow, ensuring the removal of waste.
Several areas are affected in the skin:
- Moisture removal is improved. The lymphatic drainage causes things like edema and bags under the eyes and surgery fluid.
- Regeneration process of the connective tissue is stimulated.
- The tape ensures that a stimulus is given to the collagen and connective tissue that provides a recovery response, which over time creates a firmer connective tissue and skin improvement becomes visible.
- Fine wrinkles disappear and deep wrinkles become less visible.
- The muscle tone can be activated or sedated with tape.
Note: CureTape® Gentle is available in light beige.
Choosing your tape
CureTape® Gentle is ideal for sensitive or fragile skin thanks to its milder adhesive. Our regular CureTape® Classic also has a hypoallergenic adhesive and is a good choice for most people. If your skin needs a gentler option, choose Gentle.

About kinesiology tape
Kinesiotape is an elastic cotton tape with a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive, designed to mimic the skin in terms of elasticity and thickness. CureTape® Gentle uses a milder adhesive for sensitive or fragile skin and is water-resistant. Wear time depends on your skin and the application.
What do people use kinesiology tape for, and how does it work?
People commonly use kinesiology tape around the knees, shoulders, ankles and back during sport, work or everyday activities. Physiotherapists also use it as part of treatment plans, including applications around swollen areas and scars.
The tape stretches with your body rather than holding an area firmly in place like FASCIQ Rigid Sports Tape. You can feel the tape gently pulling on your skin as you move. This provides a physical reminder of the taped area and may make you more aware of how you move.
The tape’s gentle pull on the skin is also one of the ideas behind its use in lymphatic taping. Researchers are still studying how this works and what difference it makes. The experience can vary from person to person and depends on the application.
Other sizes and packs
CureTape® Gentle is designed for sensitive or fragile skin and uses a latex-free, hypoallergenic adhesive. However, people with exceptionally sensitive skin may still react. If your skin is very sensitive, first apply a small piece like a plaster, without stretching it, and leave it on for 24 hours. Remove it if irritation develops. If there is no reaction, you can proceed with your intended application while continuing to monitor your skin.
CureTape® Gentle uses a milder adhesive for sensitive skin and easier removal. CureTape® Classic also has a hypoallergenic adhesive and is suitable for most people. Choose Gentle when skin comfort and gentler adhesion are your priorities.
Yes, its milder adhesive makes it an option for children when taping is appropriate. Ask a qualified healthcare professional for guidance on placement, stretch and wear time, particularly when taping babies or young children.
Wear time varies with skin condition, placement and daily activities. Although kinesiology tape can often remain attached for several days, Gentle’s milder adhesive may mean a shorter wear time than Classic. Follow your practitioner’s advice and remove it sooner if itching, redness or discomfort occurs.
Slowly peel the tape back over itself while supporting the skin with your other hand. Avoid pulling it sharply away from the skin. To make removal easier, use a suitable tape remover spray, following its instructions, or allow a little baby oil to soak into the tape first. For sensitive skin, choose a removal product you already know your skin tolerates well.
