A facial sunscreen to protect and soothe sensitive and dry skin
Eucerin Sun Creme Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ is an advanced facial sunscreen designed specifically to protect against sun-induced skin ageing and pigment spots. For normal and dry skin. Water-resistant.
This innovative formulation provides comprehensive protection against UV damage – in both the upper and lower layers of the skin:
A highly-effective, photostable, UVA/UVB filter system with Tinosorb S provides reliable protection against sunburn. EU- and Cosmetics Europe – The Personal Care Association (formerly called Colipa)-compliant.
DNA protection with Glycyrrhetinic Acid, which supports the skin´s own DNA protection and repair mechanisms.
Cellular protection with Licochalcone A, a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin cells against damage caused by free radicals.
How to Use
Avoid contact with the eyes.
Do not use for small children.
Avoid intensive midday sun and extensive sun exposure as even sunscreens with high SPFs do not offer a 100% protection.
Apply generously before sun exposure & reapply frequently, especially after swimming, towelling and sweating to maintain the original protection. An insufficient application of sunscreen reduces the protection effect.
Avoid contact with textiles and hard surfaces to prevent staining.
Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product

Clinical Formula
Glycyrrhetinic Acid
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.

FAQ
What SPF sunscreen do I need?
A Sun Protection Factor (SPF) increases the time it takes for the skin to burn. For example, a person who gets sunburnt after 30 minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen would not get sunburnt for 300 minutes using a sunscreen in high enough amounts with a sun protection factor of 30. However, it is best to only stay in the sun for up to 60% of this time, and remember that skin damage can occur even before sunburn is visible. Additionally we know that no sun protection product has a 100% protection.
Is Eucerin Sun Creme Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ suitable for young children?
Eucerin Sun Creme Sensitive Protect SPF 50+ was specifically developed for adult skin. For children over 1 year old try Eucerin Kids Sun Lotion SPF 50+
What is the difference between a fluid and a creme sunscreen?
Fluids are designed for combination to oily skin as they have a non-greasy texture that does not leave an oily shine. Cremes are specifically designed for normal to dry skin.
What is the difference between mineral and chemical UVA/UVB filters, and which one should I use?
Chemical filters absorb UV rays and transform UV rays into harmless warmth, whereas mineral filters remain on the surface of the skin and reflect and scatter UV rays that reach the surface of the skin. While chemical filters are generally considered to be safe, the use of mineral filters is advisable in case of intolerance towards chemical filters or for sun protection for babies and toddlers, whose skin is highly sensitive.
What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
Long wave UVA (Ultraviolet A) rays emitted by the sun penetrate deeply into the skin and are the originating factor of oxidative stress in the skin. They play a greater role in long-term sun damage and are a major cause of skin ageing and skin cancer. In addition, UVA rays may trigger polymorphic light eruption (PLE), the so-called sun allergy. Short wave UVB (Ultraviolet B) rays, on the contrary, cause immediate visible damage to the skin, leading to what we usually refer to as sunburn. It penetrates the skin less deeply than UVA but is the main responsibility for cellular DNA damage.
