How to Use
Step-by-step guide for DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel
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.
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.
