What SPF sunscreen do I need?
A Sun Protection Factor (SPF) increases the time it takes for the skin to burn. For example, a person who gets sunburnt after 30 minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen would not get sunburnt for 300 minutes using a sunscreen in high enough amounts with a sun protection factor of 30. However, it is best to only stay in the sun for up to 60% of this time, and remember that skin damage can occur even before sunburn is visible. Additionally we know that no sun protection product has a 100% protection.
Is Eucerin Sun Creme Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ suitable for young children?
Eucerin Sun Creme Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ was specifically developed for adult skin. For children over 1 year old try Eucerin Kids Sun Lotion SPF 50+
What is the difference between a fluid and a creme sunscreen?
Fluids are designed for combination to oily skin as they have a non-greasy texture that does not leave an oily shine. Cremes are specifically designed for normal to dry skin.
What is the difference between mineral and chemical UVA/UVB filters, and which one should I use?
Chemical filters absorb UV rays and transform UV rays into harmless warmth, whereas mineral filters remain on the surface of the skin and reflect and scatter UV rays that reach the surface of the skin. While chemical filters are generally considered to be safe, the use of mineral filters is advisable in case of intolerance towards chemical filters or for sun protection for babies and toddlers, whose skin is highly sensitive.
What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
Long wave UVA (Ultraviolet A) rays emitted by the sun penetrate deeply into the skin and are the originating factor of oxidative stress in the skin. They play a greater role in long-term sun damage and are a major cause of skin ageing and skin cancer. In addition, UVA rays may trigger polymorphic light eruption (PLE), the so-called sun allergy. Short wave UVB (Ultraviolet B) rays, on the contrary, cause immediate visible damage to the skin, leading to what we usually refer to as sunburn. It penetrates the skin less deeply than UVA but is the main responsibility for cellular DNA damage.
What is the difference between Eucerin Sun Creme Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ and Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted SPF 50+?
While both these sunscreens are SPF 50+ and offer a very high level of sun protection, Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted SPF 50+ contains mineral tinted pigments for a natural tanned looking skin tone, and also allows the covering up of pigment spots. It is suitable for all skin types. Eucerin Sun Creme Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ contains Glycyrrhetinic Acid to support skin´s own DNA protection and repair mechanisms. It is suitable for normal to dry skin.

Hi Rebecca. Thank you for your enquiry. If you are experiencing hyper-pigmentation, you could consider continuing with the use of the Even Pigment Perfector range (Day Cream, Night Cream and Serum). However, if this is not your main skin concern, you could consider using Hyaluron Filler (silver) Day Crean and Night Cream. Should you wish to discuss further, please don't hesitate to get in touch via e-mail to: ConsumerSA.External@beiersdorf.com. Many thanks for your interest in our brand and for getting in touch.
