SymSitive® (reg. tm. of SymRise, Germany)

SymSitive* is a fast-acting ingredient especially developed for hypersensitive skin. It offers immediate relief because it regulates the sensitivity of hyper-reactive skin sensory fibres which are responsible for the burning, stinging and tingling sensations that occur in hypersensitive skin. Not only does it calm over-reactivity in skin, it increases skin-tolerance and, over time, helps to increase the skin's resistance to stressors.

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.

Ceramide 3

Ceramides are important lipids in the hydrolipid film (which protects the external layers of skin). Produced naturally in healthy skin, they strengthen the skin barrier, helping to prevent moisture loss due to evaporation and keeping out irritants that can cause inflammation and itching. When skin’s Ceramide levels fall the skin barrier is impaired. Skin can start to lose water and become dry and irritated.

Eucerin uses synthetic Ceramides that are biologically-identical and that enhance skin’s natural barrier – locking in moisture and preventing dryness and irritation.

FAQ

Which type of medical acne treatments does Eucerin DERMOPURE Adjunctive Soothing Cream work with?

It is an ideal moisturiser to accompany both topical treatments (such as Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide) and systemic acne therapies (such as Isotretinoin).

I’ve previously used the Eucerin DermoPurifyer Adjunctive Hydrating Care SPF30. What is the difference between that and Euceirn DERMOPURE Adjunctive Soothing Care?

We have fundamentally changed the formula of this product. If you used Adjunctive Hydrating Care in the past then you will be absolutely fine to use this new cream and we hope you’ll experience additional benefits.

Our new, improved formula contains SymSitive*, Panthenol, more Licochalcone A, Ceramide and more Glycerin. It is now free from Parabens and no longer contains an SPF. This means that this product is now also suitable for night time use. Skin is particularly sensitive to the sun when it is undergoing acne treatment so we recommend you apply additional sun protection in the morning. Try Eucerin Sun Gel Creme Oil Control Dry Touch SPF30 or SPF50+ depending on your levels of exposure.

Does the product contain sun protection factor?

No, so you can use it in the evenings. When skin is undergoing medical acne treatment it is particularly sensitive to the sun so, if your skin is going to be exposed for a considerable time, you should regularly apply a sun screen such as Eucerin Sun Gel Creme Oil Control Dry Touch SPF50+

I cover my acne with make-up. Am I making everything worse?

Thorough cleansing and moisturising will make little difference if skin is regularly contaminated by cosmetics that promote impurities. Be sure to use make-up that is suitable for your skin and don’t forget to remove it thoroughly in the evening. Eucerin DERMOPURE Cover Stick has been specially formulated to both conceal and reduce blemishes. Your doctor or pharmacist will be able to advice you on cosmetic choices.

Are the Eucerin DERMOPURE care products suitable as a make-up base?

Yes. If skin is thoroughly moisturised then it will be easier to apply make-up evenly.
