Description
Cleansing Gel for acne-prone skin
Soap and fragrance free, Eucerin DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel is a non-comedogenic daily face wash for blemish and acne prone skin. With 6% Ampho-Tensides, it cleanses skin gently but effectively removing dirt, make-up and any excess sebum. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, the gel eliminates skin bacteria and prevents bacterial growth. The cleansing gel can be used alongside medical acne treatment and during pregnancy.
Clinical and dermatological studies
Clinical and dermatological studies have confirmed excellent skin tolerability and a mild cleansing effect when used on blemish- and acne-prone skin
How to use
Use the cleansing gel as a first step in your skincare 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
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.
Care
The care product you use depends on the severity of your acne and on the type of treatment you are undergoing.
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 the Dermo Pure 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. Sun Face Oil Control 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 makeup
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.
