How to Use

Use the cleansing gel as a first step in your skin care routine - preferably twice daily: morning and evening. Use a cherry-sized amount and work it into a lather in your hand with a little water. Massage into your face. Rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid contact with your eyes.

Step-by-step guide for DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel

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.

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.

Clinical Formula

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

Will the cleanser 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, absolutely! But if you're undergoing medical acne therapy, be extra gentle when cleansing your skin. The active ingredients in treatments can make your skin more sensitive, so it's important to avoid excessive rubbing or irritation. Consider using a softer touch or a gentler method to protect your skin while still effectively cleansing.

Is acne caused by dirty skin?

Acne isn’t caused by having dirty skin, despite what some may think. It’s more about the skin’s oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria. However, using the right products is key. Cleansing gels specifically designed for blemish-prone skin are much more effective than harsh soap-based alternatives, as they clean gently without stripping the skin.

My skin feels tight after cleansing. Is that normal?

Feeling tight after cleansing may indicate your skin is too dry. This can happen if the cleanser strips away too much moisture. To restore balance, be sure to follow up with a good moisturizer. We recommend one of the Eucerin DERMOPURE moisturizers, designed to hydrate and help maintain your skin's natural barrier while keeping blemishes under control.
