How to Use
Step-by-step guide for {product name}
Choose a product that offers the right level of protection for your skin. It should protect against UVA and UVB rays and offer HEVIS light defense. It should also be tailored to your skin type and condition.
It’s important to use sufficient product and to reapply it regularly. You can use your palm to measure how much product to use. We recommend that – to cover your face, neck and décolleté – you use a thick line of cream that stretches from the tip of your middle finger down to your wrist.
Some parts are easy to miss. Don’t forget the bridge of your nose and your neck.

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.
Glycyrrhetinic acid (also called Enoxolon) is derived from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice plant) and is well-known in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Glycyrrhetinic acid helps to preserve the level of hyaluronic acid and elastin against enzymatic degradation by hyaluronidase. Furthermore supports the skin's own repair mechanism against UV-induced DNA damage.
How do I know which SPF to use?
Sunscreens are available in four different levels of protection: low (factor 6 to 10), medium (15 to 25), high (30 to 50) and very high (50+). The higher the protection factor the better your skin is protected, but it’s important to apply the product thoroughly (be careful not to miss any bits) and to reapply it generously every two hours.
Can sunscreen clog my pores and lead to breakouts?
Some people with oily and acne-prone skin are concerned that sunscreen will worsen their symptoms and avoid sun protection altogether. Specially formulated products such as Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control Dry Touch SPF 50+ are designed to manage oily and even improve acne-prone skin conditions.
My skin is acne-prone. Do I need special suncare?
Yes. Effective sun protection is essential for all skin types and it’s particularly important for acne-prone skin for a number of reasons:
It’s also important to be aware that some acne medication and skin peels can make skin more sensitive to the sun and more susceptible to sun-induced skin damage. Products specially formulated for acne-prone skin, such as Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control Dry Touch SPF 50+, will give it the protection it needs. Our product is also ‘non-comedogenic’, which means it doesn’t contain ingredients that might block pores and trigger blemishes.
The ultra-light formula has a sebum-regulating Oil Control Technology with L-Carnitine and absorbing micro-pigments. It leaves an immediate dry touch finish and a long-lasting anti-shine effect.
Why do I need to integrate sun face care into my daily routine?
Facial skin is more sensitive to UVA/UVB radiation and HEVIS light than skin on the rest of the body as it is exposed to sun all year round. Sun protection can help you avoid the cellular DNA damage caused by UV, photoaging (premature aging caused by the sun) and hyperpigmentation. It is important to protect facial skin whenever it is exposed to the sun.
Can I use sunscreen and make-up?
Yes. Eucerin Sun Gel-Cream Oil Control SPF 50+ is suitable for use under make-up. Both liquid and powder-based make-up can be safely applied over the sunscreen without affecting its protection.
