Read more about our product

Moisturiser for acne-prone skin Eucerin DermoPurifyer Adjunctive Soothing Cream is a moisturiser for acne-prone skin specially formulated for people undergoing medical acne treatment. One of the side effects of acne medication is that it frequently causes severe dryness in skin. This intensely moisturising, non-greasy cream soothes these symptoms. Ceramides support skin’s protective barrier and reduce moisture loss, SymSitive* helps to calm irritation such as stinging and burning directly at source and Licochalcone A helps to reduce redness. The formula helps to bring demanding, blemish and acne-prone skin under control and it feels smooth and supple after the first application. Eucerin DermoPurifyer Adjunctive Cream is suitable for use during pregnancy. * Registered trademark of Symrise AG, Germany

FAQ

Which type of medical acne treatments does Eucerin DERMOPURE Adjunctive Soothing Cream work with?

It is an ideal moisturiser to accompany both topical treatments (such as Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide) and systemic acne therapies (such as Isotretinoin).

I’ve previously used the Eucerin DermoPurifyer Adjunctive Hydrating Care SPF30. What is the difference between that and Euceirn DERMOPURE Adjunctive Soothing Care?

We have fundamentally changed the formula of this product. If you used Adjunctive Hydrating Care in the past then you will be absolutely fine to use this new cream and we hope you’ll experience additional benefits.

Our new, improved formula contains SymSitive*, Panthenol, more Licochalcone A, Ceramide and more Glycerin. It is now free from Parabens and no longer contains an SPF. This means that this product is now also suitable for night time use. Skin is particularly sensitive to the sun when it is undergoing acne treatment so we recommend you apply additional sun protection in the morning. Try Eucerin Sun Gel Creme Oil Control Dry Touch SPF30 or SPF50+ depending on your levels of exposure.

Does the product contain sun protection factor?

No, so you can use it in the evenings. When skin is undergoing medical acne treatment it is particularly sensitive to the sun so, if your skin is going to be exposed for a considerable time, you should regularly apply a sun screen such as Eucerin Sun Gel Creme Oil Control Dry Touch SPF50+

I cover my acne with make-up. Am I making everything worse?

Thorough cleansing and moisturising will make little difference if skin is regularly contaminated by cosmetics that promote impurities. Be sure to use make-up that is suitable for your skin and don’t forget to remove it thoroughly in the evening. Eucerin DERMOPURE Cover Stick has been specially formulated to both conceal and reduce blemishes. Your doctor or pharmacist will be able to advice you on cosmetic choices.

Are the Eucerin DERMOPURE care products suitable as a make-up base?

Yes. If skin is thoroughly moisturised then it will be easier to apply make-up evenly.
