Is acne caused by having dirty skin?

This is a common myth but it’s not true. It is, however, important to choose products that have been specially formulated for blemish- and acne-prone skin – mild but effective cleansing gels are much more suitable than harsh soap-based alternatives.

My skin feels tight after cleansing. Is that normal?

Tightness can be a sign of dry skin. If your skin feels tight be sure to thoroughly moisturise after cleansing. Consider using one of the moisturisers in the Eucerin DERMOPURE range.

I’ve used Eucerin DermoPurifyer Cleansing Gel in the past. What is the difference between that and Eucerin DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel?

Nothing. It’s just a new name and new packaging. The formula is proven to be highly effective and needed no changes.

Can I use Eucerin DERMOPURE Cleansing Gel while I’m undergoing medical acne treatment?

Yes. The Cleansing Gel can be used alongside your acne therapy treatment. If you are concerned, consult your doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist before use.

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.

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) is a potent exfoliating and comedolytic agent that effectively targets blemish-prone skin by unclogging pores and reducing bacterial growth. Key benefits are:

Deep Pore Cleansing: As a small lipophilic molecule, Salicylic Acid penetrates deep into pores, dissolving excess sebum and dead skin cells to prevent clogging and breakouts.
Exfoliating & Smoothing Effect: Gently promotes the removal of dead skin cells, refining skin texture and improving overall clarity.
Anti-Bacterial Action: Effectively counteracts Cutibacterium acnes, a key bacteria responsible for acne development, helping to reduce existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts.
