Read more about our product

Moisturiser for acne-prone skin Eucerin DermoPurifyer Adjunctive Soothing Cream is a moisturiser 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. Eucerin DermoPurifyer Adjunctive Cream is suitable for use during pregnancy. * Registered trademark of Symrise AG, Germany

The ingredients in our brand products are updated regularly. For this reason, occasionally there may be discrepancies between the  ingredients on our website and on our product packaging. We therefore recommend that you always pay attention to the information on our product packaging and check the ingredients listed there.

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

    SymSitive* is a soothing ingredient for sensitive skin. With its neurosensory activity, SymSitive* provides instant and long-lasting relief from stinging, burning, and itching. Skin discomfort like tingling, burning and itching is characterized by a hyperresponsiveness of sensory neurons and stimulation of the thermoreceptor TRPV1 (capsaicin receptor). 

    The Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine 2021 was awarded to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian for the discovery of temperature receptor such as TRPV1.

    SymSitive* acts on the Nobel Prize awarded mode of action of TRPV1 actively soothes the feeling of tingling, itching and burning.

  • Ceramides

    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. ;

  • Panthenol

    Panthenol and Dexpanthenol are two names commonly used for the same ingredient.  Panthenol participates in numerous metabolic processes (e.g. energy production, synthesis of fatty acids) and helps to improve hydration in the outermost layers of the skin. Panthenol converts into Panthotenic 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. It is also an effective moisturizer. Very well absorbed by the skin, it regenerates, stimulates epithelialisation and wound healing. It alleviates irritation and inflammation.

  • Ceramide 3

    Ceramides are the most important skin barrier lipids. They repair and strengthen the skin's barrier function and protect the skin from drying out. Dry skin symptoms are relieved.

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.

    Love this !
    Best moisturiser ever especially while on Orotane for acne. Any suggestions for a make up/ foundation that works well together with this and the spf 50 sun gel? The one I am currently using (catrice) cakes if I use the eucerin products mentioned above.

    Hi Ash.  Thank you for your enquiry.  Unfortunately we do not trade in the make-up market at all.  May we suggest that you discuss this directly with the manufacturer of the item that you currently use.  When applying the Adjunctive Soothing Care Cream, remember to "pat" it into the skin, rather than rubbing as this can help to alleviate the problem of pilling when using a foundation.

    Dry Acne prone skin
    I’ve been using this for a few days now. My Dr recommended. But it’s been making my skin really dry. What alternative can ???. I also have acne prone skin
    KC
    Eucerin

    Hi KC.  The Dermo Purifyer Adjunctive Soothing Cream.  We are making the assumption that you are currently taking acne medication as this product is formulated to address the dryness associated with the side-effects of the acne medication (i.e. dryness).  The Adjunctive Soothing Cream ensures sufficient moisture to avoid the dryness.  It is very unusual to experience dryness from using this particular product.  Perhaps it is the acne medication that is drying out the skin.  Having said that, we would always recommend that if you are under the guidance of a Dermatologist, that you provide feedback about the product that has been recommended for you so that a decision can be made as to an alternative which may better suit your particular skin condition.

    My doctor recommended these acne range products but I don't know which moisturizer to use with epiduo
    Can I use this product with epiduo
    Uniii
    Hi Uniii.

    The Adjunctive Soothing Cream should be used where dryness of the skin has occurred when taking acne medication. If your skin is still normal whilst using the Epiduo Gel, we would recommend using the Mattifying Fluid to moisturise in the morning and at night. For more information on this product, please click on the following link to our web-site: https://www.eucerin.co.za/products/dermo-purifyer/mattifying-fluid.

    Many thanks,
