Dealing with maskne: mask-induced blemishes

Maskne, or mascne as it’s also known, is caused by excessive heat, friction and/or pressure to the areas of your face that come into contact with your mask, and subsequently cause blemishes.

Eucerin’s DERMOPURE range has been shown to reduce blemishes by 64%*, using a skincare regime including Eucerin DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel, DERMOPURE Mattifying Fluid, and DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment.

Recommendations for your daily skincare routine

Cleanse and tone

Cleanse skin in the morning and evening:

am: to remove the sebum and dead skin cells that have accumulated overnight
pm: to remove make-up and free skin from the day’s dirt

Use gentle cleansing products such as Eucerin DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel with lukewarm water and follow with an appropriate toner. You may also benefit from using a scrub once a week to unclog pores and refine skin texture.

We do not recommend using an alcohol-based toner and the scrub alongside acne medication as it can make skin more sensitive. If you like the refreshing feel of a toner, try the alcohol-free Eucerin DERMOPURE Micellar Water instead.

Care

The care product you use depends on the severity of your acne and on the type of treatment you are undergoing.

If you are using medical treatment for acne, Eucerin DERMOPURE Adjunctive Soothing Cream helps to alleviate some of the symptoms such as intense dryness. It should be applied five minutes after your medication so the treatment can absorb fully.

If you have mild to moderate acne, but are not undergoing medical acne treatment, use a soothing and mattifying moisturiser such as Eucerin DERMOPURE Mattifying Fluid in the morning and evening.

For clearer and smoother-looking skin over time, you may also like to incorporate our skin renewal treatment into your routine. It is suitable for all blemish-prone skin that is not undergoing medical acne treatment and should be used once a day only − ideally in the evening. You can use it before the mattifying fluid or on its own.

Sun protection

Sun protection is an important step in your morning routine. Blemishes can cause pigmentation issues if over-exposed to the sun, and acne medications can make blemish-prone skin even more sensitive to UV rays. Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control Dry Touch SPF30 and SPF50+ offers the levels of protection that your skin needs and should be applied before your cover-up and make-up. If you’re applying sun protection after a topical acne treatment wait five minutes to allow the treatment to fully absorb.

Concealer and make-up

Cover blemishes and even out skin tone with foundation and/or a concealer. Choose products that are non-comedogenic (i.e. that will not block pores) and, ideally, ones that contain ingredients that work to improve the condition of blemish-prone skin. Be sure to remove all make-up before you go to bed.

Ingredients

Ampho-Tensides

Ampho-Tensides are mild surfactants that gently cleanse skin. `Ampho` is short for `amphoteric`− a chemical term for a molecule that is both positive and negative. Tensides (also known as surfactants) are surface active substances that reduce the surface tension of water and ensure that dirt and make-up is removed. They are particularly well tolerated by sensitive skin.

FAQ (10)

Will the Cleansing Gel remove my make-up completely?

It is a good idea to remove eye make-up, especially the water-resistant type, with a dedicated make-up remover (e.g. Eucerin DermatoClean Eye make-up remover) before thoroughly cleansing skin with the Cleansing Gel.

Can I use the cleansing gel with an electric cleansing brush?

Yes, of course, but be very careful cleaning your skin in this way if you are undergoing medical acne therapy.

Is acne caused by having dirty skin?

This is a common myth but it’s not true. It is, however, important to choose products that have been specially formulated for blemish- and acne-prone skin – mild but effective cleansing gels are much more suitable than harsh soap-based alternatives.

My skin feels tight after cleansing. Is that normal?

Tightness can be a sign of dry skin. If your skin feels tight be sure to thoroughly moisturise after cleansing. Consider using one of the moisturisers in the Eucerin DERMOPURE range.

I’ve used Eucerin DermoPurifyer Cleansing Gel in the past. What is the difference between that and Eucerin DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel?

Nothing. It’s just a new name and new packaging. The formula is proven to be highly effective and needed no changes.

Can I use Eucerin DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel while I’m undergoing medical acne treatment?

Yes. The Cleansing Gel can be used alongside your acne therapy treatment. If you are concerned, consult your doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist before use.

Is acne genetic?

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.

Does this product work against maskne (mask-induced blemishes)?

Is Eucerin DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel the right product for my skin?

Use this product if …
- You’re looking for a gentle, soap-free cleansing gel suitable for daily use
- You’re looking to remove excess sebum
- You’re undergoing medical treatment for acne

How do I know if I should try another product?

Try a different product if …
- You’re looking for an exfoliator: Try Eucerin DERMOPURE Scrub
- You’re looking for a mild cleansing gel for normal to combination skin: Try Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Cleansing Gel which cleans normal to combination skin without drying it out.
