Yes. Genetic predisposition plays a large part in acne. If both parents suffered from acne during their adolescence, then there is a greater likelihood that their children will also develop acne.

Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner is to be applied daily as part of a cleanse, clear and care routine. Its anti-bacterial formula contains 2% Lactic Acid active system which gently unclogs pores without over-drying, reduces the growth of bacteria (one of the four factors of impure skin) and prevents blemishes. It is particularly effective in the T-Zones and can be used alongside common acne medication.

FAQ

Is acne caused by poor hygiene?

Acne is not a sign of poor bodily hygiene. On the contrary: too frequent cleansing of the skin with aggressive cleansing products can irritate the skin even more. Nevertheless, you should take care to cleanse your skin twice daily with a mild, non-dehydrating facial cleanser in order to remove excess sebum, sweat and dead skin cells from the skin. One should, in any case, avoid "fiddling around" with your fingers on the acne symptoms.

Is acne an allergy?

Acne is not an allergic reaction to particular foods or external stimulation. Allergies manifest themselves characteristically in different ways and can thus be clearly identified as such.

Will my acne clear up as I grow older?

Usually the acne-related problems reduce with age. Although, some patients suffer from acne also after the age of 30. If you do not see an improvement, please contact a dermatologist.

I have been using Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner for several days but my skin is still blemished. What am I doing wrong?

Blemished skin can recover, but not overnight. Be patient. Persevere with your cleanse, clear and care routine and you will start to see improvements in your skin's condition.

Can I use Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner on my back?

Yes. Acne-related problems on your back are treated exactly the same way as on your face.

Gentle Exfoliating Toner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I trust Eucerin products as they are known for being kind to skin, so I did not have any concerns with this trial. It is easy to use and comes in a good sized bottle. The product does not cause any irritation, stinging or sensitivity, which can be a concern with exfoliating toners. I liked using the product to replace my own toner, but I did not notice its effect on my skin. It didn't dry out my skin, as it promises, which is definitely a plus. However, the claims to unclog pores or refine skin texture were not apparent for me. As always with skincare, everyone is different, so it may be amazing for someone else. The main thing is that it didn't do any harm, so I'll probably continue using it until it finishes.

Excellent Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Eucerin Purifying Toner is an excellent toner product. At first look, the packaging is in a simple bottle that is easy to use. The formula itself is gentle and refreshing on the skin. It's non-drying and does not make the skin feel tight after use. After a couple of weeks of use, the toner has improved the appearance of my skin and has reduced the appearance and occurrence of blemishes. Similarly, the texture of my skin has improved and has felt more refreshed and refined. I would recommend this product.

Refreshing Toner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a seamless, refreshing addition to my skincare routine! This toner feels so gentle on my skin, yet successfully absorbs my greasiness and cleanses it easily. I can feel the difference and it definitely feels softer after use. My skin looks and feels clearer, it’s going to be a permanent part of my routine now.
