Read more about our product

Moisturizer for acne-prone skin Eucerin DERMOPURIFYER Adjunctive Soothing Cream is a moisturizer for acne-prone skin specially formulated for people undergoing medical acne treatment. One of the side effects of acne medication is that it frequently causes severe dryness in skin. This intensely moisturising, non-greasy cream soothes these symptoms. Ceramides support skin’s protective barrier and reduce moisture loss, SymSitive* helps to calm irritation such as stinging and burning directly at source and Licochalcone A helps to reduce redness. The formula helps to bring demanding, blemish- and acne-prone skin under control and it feels smooth and supple after the first application. * Registered trademark of Symrise AG, Germany

Clinical Formula

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 essential skin lipids that form a key component of the epidermal barrier.

They provide two main benefits:

Barrier Function: Ceramides strengthen and restore the skin’s protective barrier, preventing transepidermal water loss and shielding against environmental stressors.
Dry Skin Relief: By maintaining optimal hydration levels, ceramides alleviate symptoms of dryness, keeping the skin soft and resilient.

Panthenol or Dexpanthenol

Panthenol and Dexpanthenol are two names commonly used for the same ingredient. Panthenol converts into Pantothenic Acid (a B Complex Vitamin) in the skin and enhances skin regeneration and repair. When applied regularly, it has been proven to considerably improve symptoms of skin irritation such as dryness, roughness, scaling and redness.

Panthenol/Dexpanthenol is also an effective moisturizer. It improves hydration in the outermost layers of the skin and helps to reduce transepidermal water loss.

SymSitive®

SymSitive®, a neurosensory active ingredient, modulates TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) which is a key thermoreceptor and pain mediator. This helps to counteract hypersensitivity reactions in the skin. Key benefits are:

Instant & Long-Lasting Relief: Acts directly at the source of skin sensitivity, quickly reducing stinging, burning, and itching sensations caused by environmental and internal stressors.
Neurocalming Effect: Regulates overreactive sensory neurons, preventing hyperresponsiveness to triggers such as heat, mechanical stress, or chemical irritants.

FAQ

Can I carry on using Eucerin DermoPurifyer Adjunctive Soothing Cream when I’m no longer having medical treatment for acne?

Yes. The product can be used on an ongoing basis even when you are not having medical treatment for acne. If you have dry, blemish-prone skin it’s likely to be very suitable, but if your skin stops being so dry you may find it too rich and need a lighter product. Try Eucerin DermoPurifyer Mattifying Fluid.

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. Your doctor or pharmacist will be able to advice you on cosmetic choices.

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 SPF 50+ depending on your levels of exposure.

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.
