Read more about our product

Protective Fluid SPF 30 for blemish-prone skin with post-acne marks. Acne is a fact of life for a huge cross-section of society. It affects up to 95% of adolescents and 40% of adults1. Many people experience post-acne marks (Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH for short) long after the acute acne has vanished. After tackling blemishes, they are still stuck fighting their post-acne marks, which can persist for several years or even a decade2. Those post-acne marks left behind after blemishes heal can be even more aggravating and emotionally distressing than acne itself. About 1 in 2 people experience post-acne marks. Men and women are equally susceptible, and all skin types can get post-acne marks, although it is more prevalent in darker tones of skin3. Eucerin DermoPurifyer Protective Fluid SPF 30 enables you to prevent blemishes and finally beat post-acne marks with 3 key factors: Anti-marks darkening: SPF 30 UVA/B filters protect from sun-induced darkening of post-acne marks and prevent their appearance. Anti-blemish: Antibacterial Decanediol helps to prevent blemishes and Licochalcone A soothes irritations. Anti-shine: Sebum Regulating Technology delivers a long-lasting, dry, matt finish. The Protective Fluid SPF 30 has enhanced efficacy when used together with the Eucerin DermoPurifyer Triple Effect Serum. In fact, respondents in our studies report that the products not only improved their lives and provided relief, but also have the highest efficacy against post-acne marks of any products they have ever tried. “The combination beats post-acne marks,” say 95% of users4. 1 Zouboulis, C. C., Hautarzt. 2014; 65(8):733–750. 2 Abad-Casintahan, F. et al., “Frequency and Characteristics of Acne-Related Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.” J Dermatol. 2016; 43:826–828. 3 Kaufman et al., Am J Clin Dermatol. 2018; 19:489–503, Perkins et al., JEADV. 2011; 25(9):1054–1060. 4 Product in use study with 100 volunteers, 8 weeks of regular usage twice a day of both Serum and Fluid SPF 30.

How to Use

Apply in the morning or as often as needed. Apply one full pump to thoroughly cleansed skin. Apply all over your face. Avoid eye area. Suitable to be used underneath a facemask. For enhanced efficacy, use in combination with DermoPurifyer Triple Effect Serum.

Step-by-step guide for {product name}

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 it 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. If you have blemish-prone skin with post-acne marks you can also use the Eucerin DermoPure Triple Effect Serum and Protective Fluid SPF 30 to reduce post-acne marks and protect them from appearing.

  • 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 neutralises 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.

FAQ

What are post-acne marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH for short)?

PIH is a type of hyperpigmentation of the skin that is mainly triggered by the way skin regenerates after inflammation. It can affect the face and body, typically especially UV-exposed areas, and appears as flat spots of hypercoloration. These range in color from pink to red, brown or black, depending on skin tone and the depth of hypercoloration. The root cause is increased melanin production, the pigment that defines the color of a person’s skin, which is stimulated by inflammatory factors. The blemish triggers melanocytes – the melanin-producing cells – to release excessive melanosomes (pigment granules). The excessive pigment granules darken and discolor the formerly stressed area. Once initial blemishes have subsided, spots of hypercoloration, so-called post-acne marks, can remain.

Additionally, sun exposure can aggravate PIH symptoms, darkening the affected patches and prolonging the time it takes for them to fade. Most acne-related PIH will eventually fade over time, but it can take several years or even a decade until it is fully gone*.

*Abad-Casintahan, F. et al., “Frequency and Characteristics of Acne-Related Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.” J Dermatol. 2016; 43:826–828.

Who is affected by post-acne marks?

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is common among many acne sufferers since a root cause for acne is inflammation. Those post-acne marks left behind after blemishes heal can be even more aggravating and emotionally distressing than acne itself. Men and women are equally susceptible, and all skin types can get post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, although it is more prevalent in darker tones of skin, with over 65% of the Black Americans experiencing it, followed by 53% of Hispanics, 47% of Asians and 25% of Caucasians*. This means that we need effective and tolerable skincare fighting both blemishes and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for consumers all over the world.

*Kaufman et al., Am J Clin Dermatol. 2018; 19:489–503, Perkins et al., JEADV. 2011; 25(9):1054–1060.

How can post-acne marks be prevented?

PIH is mainly triggered by the way skin regenerates after an inflammation. To prevent it, though there are no guarantees, avoid picking at or pressing your pimples. The best prevention is, however, to target acne-related PIH at the root, meaning preventing blemishes from appearing and getting inflamed. Use a mild but effective cleanser and use light, non-comedogenic skincare with anti-inflammatory ingredients, like licochalcone A and keratolytic salicylic acid, which are used in our Eucerin® Dermopure Triple Effect Serum to prevent pores from clogging. 

Additionally, sun exposure can aggravate PIH symptoms, so we recommend sun protection. Limit the time you spend in the sun and keep out of the sun during its most intense hours. Wear protective clothing and sun hats whenever possible and apply a sun protection factor of at least 30, to protect marks from darkening and help prevent new marks from appearing by using specialized skincare like Eucerin® Dermopure Protective Fluid SPF 30.

What makes the DermoPure Protective Fluid SPF 30 so effective on blemish-prone skin with post-acne marks?

With a high sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 plus UVA, it effectively protects from harmful ultraviolet rays, which contribute to darkening of post-acne marks and prolonging the time for them to fade. In addition, it contains antibacterial decanediol, which helps to prevent blemishes, and licochalcone A to soothe irritation. It also contains sebum-regulating technology to leave the skin with a long-lasting matte and non-shiny look. 

What is the benefit of using both DermoPure post-acne marks products together?

The products have enhanced efficacy when used in combination. This is one of the findings of our product-in-use study, among other user responses. In an eight-week study, three groups of 100 volunteers each tested the products: one group used Eucerin® Dermopure Triple Effect Serum alone, one group used Eucerin® Dermopure Protective Fluid SPF 30 alone, while the third group used a regimen of the two products in combination. 

After eight weeks, the scores for the regimen cell were the strongest – after regular usage twice daily, volunteers even agreed that it has the highest efficacy of any solution they’ve ever tried* In fact, 95% of users say the combination finally beats their post-acne marks*.

    I’m not happy with how I can’t even apply this product because of the flaking, I allowed the serum to dry completely but still

    Hi Nomfundo

    Thank you for getting in touch. We apologise for the issue that you are having with the product.

    Please try and wait a little longer so that the serum is completely dry and then apply a small amount of the Protective Fluid at a time.

    If the problem persists, then we suggest purchasing the DermoPurifyer Mattifying Fluid once this product is finished.

    It is also a moisturiser that is suitable for acne-prone skin.

    Kind regards

    Your Eucerin Team

    Which 3 products must i start with.Or must i buy the entire range.My face has pimples and dark marks, oily and very sensitive
    Nancy
    Eucerin

    Hi Nancy.  We would suggest that you purchase the Dermo Purifyer Cleanser and Toner which you would use morning and night.  Following the cleansing and toning routine in the morning and at night, you would use the Mattifying Fluid to moisturise your skin.  When your pimples have cleared, you can replace the Mattifying Fluid in the morning, with the Triple Effect Serum (which will assist with post-acne dark marks) and Protective Fluid.  In the evening, you can continue to use the Mattifying Fluid.  Should you have any further queries, please feel free to contact our consumer team via e-mail to:  ConsumerSA.External@beiersdorf.com.  Many thanks

    Acne Prone Skin
    very oily and sensitive skin Hi, I started using the Dermo Purifier oil control range(Cleansing Gel, Triple Effect Serum and the Protective Fluid) last week and had no reaction to the product. It is my second week now and my face is reacting to the products ,whiteheads are developing on top of my eye brows and on the side of chicks and underneath my chin. There is no burning sensation at all. Is this due to purging stage of introducing a new face product, or is there a product I am missing .

    Hi Zama.  Thank you for your enquiry. From what you have described, you appear to be using the correct range if you have very oily skin and dark marks.  When you started using the product, did you have active acne, or are you now simply left with the dark marks associated with acne?  If you are very sure that these products are adversely affecting your skin, we would recommend that you stop using them all, wait for your skin to recover and then introduce them one at a time, using a process of elimination, to determine which product is causing you the discomfort.  You would then need to stop using the particular product that is affecting your skin.  Should you wish to correspond further, please feel free to get in touch with our Consumer team via e-mail to:  ConsumerSA.External@beiersdorf.com
