Here at Black Box, we've recently tried and tested the Eucerin DermoPURIFYER System Care line. This product line is compatible with all commonly used acne medication and suitable for all needs/skin types (minor blemishes, combination skin, oily skin, blemished skin, acne).

Often when faced with sensitive acne-prone skin the best is to not aggravate the skin and to use a range of products that is simple and we think that this range is one of the best out there in the market.

With the Eucerin DermoPURIFYER skin care line, all four factors of acne are taken into account that are involved in the formation of acne symptoms: the seven-product line contains a combination of the below active ingredients :

1. Lactic acid has a keratolytic and comedolytic action, i.e. it is able to dissolve thickened epidermal cells caused by acne, as well as comedones. It thereby addresses the first factor of blemished skin and promotes an improved flow of sebum. At the same time, lactic acid enables better penetration of the other ingredients. Unlike the usual salicylic acid, lactic acid contains NMFs (natural moisturizing factors), which provide the skin with urgently needed moisture.

2. L-carnitine regulates the production of sebum by promoting the uptake of fatty acids in the mitochondria, converting them into energy. Thus, the fatty acids can no longer be converted into sebum, and the amount of sebum is substantially reduced. L-carnitine is an amino-acid-like substance found in the skin. Localized application of L-carnitine on the skin can significantly reduce the amount of sebum.

3. Decandiol is known for its excellent antimicrobial properties, especially against Propionibacterium acnes: the proliferation rate of the acne bacterium is markedly reduced, as early as 24 hours after using decandiol. At the same time, the active ingredient provides moisture to the skin.

4. The plant-derived active ingredient, licochalcone A, has a skin soothing and antibacterial effect. What’s more, the natural antioxidant protects the skin cells against environmental stress by neutralizing UV-induced free radicals.

The Eucerin DermoPURIFYER range is available at most leading pharmacies, Guardian, Watsons, Unity, hospital retail pharmacies and National Skin Centre.
