A moisturiser for acne prone skin that alleviates the side effects of acne medication. It’s intensively hydrating, non-sticky formula soothes irritations, reduces tightness and helps you to regain control over demanding blemish-prone skin.
Eucerin DermoPurifyer Adjunctive 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.

Clinical and dermatological studies prove good skin tolerability and efficacy on blemish-prone skin. Suitable for sensitive skin.
In a self-assessment study a sample of 58 men and women aged between 16 and 43 (average age 24) applied Eucerin DermoPurifyer Adjunctive Cream twice a day for two weeks. At the time of the study, all respondents had been undergoing medical acne treatment (with topical Benzoyl Peroxide, topical Tretinoin, topical Adapalene or oral Isotretinoin) for at least two weeks.
The patients reported the following results:
- Your skin has been dried out and irritated by medical acne treatment.
- You are no longer having medical treatment for your acne: Try Eucerin DermoPurifyer Mattifying Fluid.
Yes. The product can be used on an ongoing basis even when you are not having medical treatment for acne. If you have dry, blemish-prone skin it’s likely to be very suitable, but if your skin stops being so dry you may find it too rich and need a lighter product. Try Eucerin DermoPurifyer Mattifying Fluid.
It is an ideal moisturiser to accompany both topical treatments (such as Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide) and systemic acne therapies (such as Isotretinoin).
We have fundamentally changed the formula of this product. If you used Adjunctive Cream 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 Oil Control Sun Gel-Cream Dry Touch SPF 50+ depending on your levels of exposure.

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 Oil Control Sun Gel-Cream Dry Touch SPF 50+.
Yes. If skin is thoroughly moisturised then it will be easier to apply make-up evenly.
A genetic predisposition certainly counts. If both parents had acne in their youth there is a greater likelihood that their children will also experience acne.
Hi Sam,
Thank you for your query. Yes, the Adjunctive Soothing Cream on an ongoing basis even when you are not having medical treatment for acne. If you have dry, blemish-prone skin, it's likely to be very suitable, but if your skin stops being so dry you may find it too rich and may need a lighter product, in which case we would recommend the Eucerin Dermo Purifyer Mattifying Fluid.
Many Thanks,
Eucerin ZA Team
