Environmental Impact
Compared to other face care products sold in the European market
Together with over 70 cosmetics companies & associations we have developed a science-based environmental impact assessment and scoring system.  Products that score “A” rank amongst the best in class of the face care category for having a lower environmental impact. Products that score “E” have a higher impact and are therefore key products to focus our efforts to improve their environmental performance.

Clinical Formula

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is formed by skin cells and is part of the connective tissue of the skin. One of its key functions is to retain moisture, and it has the ability to bind in between 1,000 and 10,000 times its own weight in water (i.e. one gram binds between one and ten liters). As we age, the skin's natural ability to produce Hyaluronic Acid depletes and wrinkles start to form and deepen.

FAQ

How do I know if this moisturiser is right for me?

Eucerin AQUAPORIN Active Dry Skin has been specially formulated to be kind on sensitive skin and is clinically proven to deliver results. 

Use this product if you are looking for an intensely hydrating face moisturiser, and you have dry skin that is dehydrated and sensitive.  

You can find information on alternative moisturisers and different skin types throughout our website but, if you are unsure, we recommend that you ask a pharmacist or dermatologist for a face-to-face diagnosis. 

How should I prepare my skin before using Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE for dry skin?

Start your skincare routine by cleansing your face thoroughly but gently with Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Refreshing Cleansing Gel. Follow with Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Clarifying Toner. If you are looking for a quick and convenient cleansing solution, try Eucerin DermatoCLEAN 3 in 1 Micellar Cleansing Fluid. Once your skin is clean, it will be better prepared to absorb the active ingredient in Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE Dry Skin. 

Why should I integrate sun care for my face into my daily routine?

It is very important to protect facial skin from the sun. It’s thinner and more sensitive to UVA and UVB radiation than the skin on the rest of the body. And, because it isn’t protected by clothing, our face is exposed to the sun all year round. Prolonged UV exposure also decreases Aquaporin activity, causing the skin to look and feel dry and dehydrated. Sun protection can help you to avoid cellular DNA damage, photoageing and hyperpigmentation. 

 

Why does dehydrated and sensitive skin need special sun care?

Skin is often dehydrated or sensitive because its natural barrier is compromised. As a result, it is more reactive to sunlight and more susceptible to sun damage. Sunlight can cause sensitive skin to dehydrate further, aggravating symptoms and making it to look and feel drier than before. It is a good idea to use products that have been specially formulated for sensitive skin because they are less likely to trigger a reaction. For normal daylight UV rays try Eucerin Aquaporin Active SPF 30 and for higher protection, Eucerin Sun Sensitive Protect SPF50+. 

Does this moisturiser have added UV protection?

If you are looking for a light but intensely hydrating face moisturiser with added protection against UVA and UVB rays. Try EAQUAporin ACTIVE SPF 30.
