How to use

Instructions

Use once a day. Preferably in the evening.
Apply a small amount (about the size of a pea) to a thoroughly cleansed face
Massage gently into skin
Follow with an appropriate care product such as Eucerin DERMOPURE Mattifying Fluid
Avoid contact with your eyes

Tip: Try out on a small area of skin first. A slight tingling sensation may occur but, if your skin show a visible reaction, consult your dermatologist or pharmacist.

This product contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and the possibility of sunburn. As a result, we recommend you limit your exposure to the sun while using this product and for a week after. During that period, and after, be sure to apply sun protection in the morning. Try Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control SPF30 or 50+.

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 Isotretinoin, Benzoyl Peroxide and Antibiotics 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

Hydroxy Complex

Eucerin DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment contains a combination of Glycolic Acid (an AHA), Salycylic Acid (a Beta Hydroxy Acid or BHA) and Gluconolactone (a PHA or Polyhydroxy Acid). This innovative and effective 10% Hydroxy Complex opens the pores, promotes the scaling off of dead skin cells and supports skin renewal.

Licochalcone A

Licochalcone A is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing ingredient. It is derived from the root of the Chinese Licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza Inflata) which uses natural compounds to protect its cells from excessive sunlight. When used in skincare products, Licochalcone A works to reduce inflammation and neutralize free radicals that negatively influence skin cells and accelerate the aging process. It helps to protect the deeper epidermal skin layers from sun-induced effects.

Eucerin DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment contains a unique and innovative 10% Hydroxy Complex. This complex is rich in effective but gentle, tried and tested, peeling agents.

These peeling agents are Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) and Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs):

AHAs are commonly present in fruits and so are often referred to as fruit acids. The AHA we use is Glycolic Acid which is the most commonly used in skincare products and by dermatologists.
The BHA in our formula is Salicylic Acid. It has been used to treat skin for more than 2,000 years and, as well as being an effective peeling agent, it is proven to help reduce blemishes and pimples and prevent new blemishes from appearing. This makes it particularly appropriate for blemish- and acne-prone skin.
In nature, many PHAs are by-products of the process of carbohydrate metabolism in the body. This is true of the PHA we use in our formula - Gluconolactone. It is widely used, and we have chosen it because it is both effective as a peeling agent and gentle on skin.

These effective acids work together to reduce the cohesion between dead skin cells, thereby exfoliating (or removing) them from skin’s surface (a process known as desquamation) and accelerating the natural process of epidermal and dermal renewal resulting in resurfaced skin.

The 10% Hydroxy Complex also works to unclog pores and significantly reduce P. acnes (the bacteria on skin’s surface which colonises the plugged pore and causes the inflammation that leads to papules, pustules, nodules and cysts).

The Complex is complemented by the Licochalcone A also present in the Eucerin DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment formula. Licochalcone A reduces inflammation and soothes irritation ensuring the product is effective and gentle on skin.

FAQ (10)

If I use the serum daily when can I expect to see an improvement?

If used regularly skin will start looking better after just one week.

Can I use the serum in addition to my normal moisturiser and, if so, which should I use first?

Eucerin DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment can be used alongside other care products such as moisturisers and anti-ageing treatments. We recommend that you use the Skin Renewal Treatment first and in the evening. If you use the Skin Renewal Treatment in the morning be sure to follow with a sunscreen such as Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control Dry Touch SPF30 or 50+.

I have both acne-prone and sensitive skin. Can I use Eucerin DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment?

In principle, yes. But test the product first to ensure it is well tolerated by your skin. You can do this by using a small amount on a small area of skin and leaving it on overnight. If you experience a slight stinging sensation, don’t worry − that just shows that the product is working.

Should I introduce the serum slowly into my routine to help my skin get used to it?

We use a gentle combination of acids that makes the product suitable for use every evening from day one. As with all products, however, it is a good idea to test the product on a small area of your skin before applying it to your full face.

Can I use the serum alongside Benzoyl Peroxide, Antibiotics and acne treatments with retinoids?

We do not recommend using the serum while you are undergoing medical treatment for acne.

Do I need to use sun protection the day after applying this treatment?

We recommend that you use the product in the evening because its peeling effect will make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, and more prone to sunburn. And, even after evening use, it’s important you give your skin adequate protection from the sun the next day. We recommend Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control SPF30 or 50+.

Can I use this product on holiday in very sunny areas?

If the weather is excessively hot we recommend you stop using the treatment. And always be sure to wear sufficient sun protection. We recommend Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control SPF 30 or 50+.

Why is the pH of the Eucerin DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment important?

The product’s pH plays an important role in its effectiveness and skin compatibility. Eucerin DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment has a pH of between 3.7 and 3.9. This low, mildly acidic pH is perfect for the role of this product as it increases its antibacterial effect and its ability to remove dead skin cells.

If my skin looks red in the morning should I continue using this product overnight?

If your skin appears irritated we recommend that you stop using the product. Then try reapplying the product every other day (in the evening only). If irritation persists, consult your dermatologist or pharmacist.

I’m over 30 and would like to use something that treats wrinkles. Is this serum suitable?

Eucerin DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment combines very well with anti-ageing skincare. We recommend that you use it, in the evenings, alongside Eucerin Hyaluron Filler Night.
