xerosis / ezcema

This treatment lotion is brilliant for helping to hydrate and exfoliate the skin. The formula contains 10% Urea, which is a fantastic hydrating ingredient and a natural part of the skin's NMF (Natural Moisturising Factor). High concentrations like this intensely hydrate, as well as gently exfoliate so can be a great option for keratosis pilaris as well.

butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter

Shea butter is the natural butter of the shea nut, which grows in West Africa. It is high in fatty acids and vitamins, so works to support the natural lipid barrier of the skin, reducing water loss via the epidermis to keep skin soft, smooth and moisturised.

ceramide ap

Ceramides are long chains of lipids, which occur naturally within the epidermis. Their function is to hold the skin cells together by creating a barrier against water-loss from the inside-out, and external aggressors from the outside-in. They make up almost 50% of our skins composition, but they can be depleted by UV, free radicals & pollution, and their production also naturally slows with age. This leads to an impaired skin barrier, which results in dry, rough skin with more visible wrinkling and redness. Applying ceramides topically can increase the levels of ceramides in the epidermis, and therefore supports the natural healthy functioning of the skin.

Glycerin is a humectant present in all natural lipids. It works to attract water molecules towards it, plumping & hydrating the applied area, resulting in smooth, soft, hydrated skin. It is one of the most widely used humectants in skincare, due to it’s high performance and broad availability (making it very cost-effective). Recent research has shown that it’s ability to penetrate the layers of the skin is superior to that of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, making it a brilliant choice for overall skin hydration, and suitable for all skin types.

glycerin

This ingredient is used in skincare for it’s hydrating abilities. It works by stimulating the production of Aquaporin 3, a natural substance found in the epidermis to regulate the movement of water between cells. An increased level of Aquaporin 3 in the skin results in improved hydration throughout the surface, and deeper layers, of the skin.

glyceryl glucoside

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), which occurs naturally in the body, as well as being found in dairy products, but is typically derived synthetically for cosmetics today.

AHAs work by dissolving the keratin binding the outermost layer of skin cells, speeding up the skin’s natural exfoliation process. This leads to smoother, brighter, clearer skin, whilst reducing skin discolouration & fine lines/wrinkles with continued use.  

lactic acid

Sodium lactate is a salt produced by the fermentation of lactic acid. It acts as a humectant in the skin, drawing water molecules from the atmosphere towards it to plump and hydrate. It is present in the skin’s natural moisturising factor (NMF), as both sodium and lactate. Studies have shown that lactate levels in the stratum corneum directly correlate with the hydration levels within the skin, with low levels resulting in dry, rough, flaky skin. Applying this ingredient topically helps the natural water-binding capacity of the epidermis, resulting in smoother, softer, more hydrated skin.

sodium lactate

Natural moisturising factor (NMF) is a substance produced by the body, made up of minerals, lactate, urea, amino acids & humectants, which coats the surface skin cells to keep them moisturised. NMF increases the skin’s ability to retain moisture, which results in more hydrated, plump, smoother skin.

Sodium PCA is the sodium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA), which is found naturally in the body, and in the skin’s natural moisturising factor (NMF). PCA acts as a humectant, meaning it draws water to it, plumping and hydrating the area. The skin’s NMF ensures adequate hydration of the stratum corneum, which also works to support the overall barrier function of the skin, regulating trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Including Sodium PCA in skincare supports this natural mechanism of the skin.

sodium pca

Urea is humectant ingredient found in the skin’s natural moisturising factor (NMF), making up around 7-8% of the total composition. Its humectant properties mean it can bind to water molecules in the atmosphere, drawing them to it, and in turn plumping and hydrating the skin. Research also shows that Urea has a mild exfoliating action on the skin, encouraging the removal of dead cells which results in smoother, healthier, more hydrated skin.

urea

Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 10% Urea Lotion gives very dry, rough body skin the daily care it needs. It contains a unique combination of ingredients – Urea, Ceramide and other Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) – which bind moisture in and repair the skin´s natural protective barrier to prevent further moisture loss. The formula has been clinically and dermatologically proven to deliver immediate relief and intense, long-lasting moisturisation, delaying dryness and roughness for up to 48 hours. Skin is intensely moisturised and looks and feels smooth and supple again.

I have chosen this ultra-nourishing formula to tackle the fine lines and wrinkles you mention.

glycine soja  (soybean) germ extract

Soybean extract is used in skincare for its powerful antioxidant potential, meaning it is able to protect the skin from free radical damage. Research has also shown this extract to be able to visibly even out skin tone, and reduce the visible signs of ageing.

Panthenol is a form of Vitamin B5, which is converted into Pantothenic acid within the epidermis when applied topically. Its main benefit in cosmetics is as a humectant, meaning it can draw water molecules to it, hydrating and plumping the area it has been applied to.

Panthenol also supports the natural lipid barrier of the skin, by encouraging the production of a precursor to fatty acids & sphingolipids, both of which are essential parts of the skin barrier. This mechanism helps to moisturise the skin by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), therefore retaining more moisture within the skin. This also helps to reduce inflammation in dry or broken skin, as an intact skin barrier will prevent potential irritants from getting into the epidermis.

Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid (a polysaccharide which occurs naturally in the body), created to improve the ingredient stability. It works as an extremely powerful humectant, able to attract 1000x its own weight in water, to immediately plump and hydrate the area it is applied to. The body’s own production of hyaluronic acid slows with age, so supplementing this ingredient in topical formulations helps to support the skin’s natural moisture-binding, anti-ageing mechanisms.

Tocopherol, aka Vitamin E, is a fat-soluble Vitamin contained in many plant oils, or can also be produced synthetically. Vitamin E is found naturally in our own skin, and it’s main benefit is to offer powerful antioxidant protection against pollution and free radical damage. It also helps to support our skin’s natural lipid barrier, which in turn improves the hydration levels within the epidermis, as water loss through the skin is minimised.

Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Night treats the first signs up aging by plumping up fine lines and wrinkles for a rejuvenated look while supporting skin regeneration. Eucerin’s innovative blend of high and low molecular Hyaluronic Acid,  Glycine Saponin and Dexpanthenol delivers a more targeted approach to visibly plumping fine lines and deep wrinkles. High molecular Hyaluronic Acid improves hydration and smooths the outermost layers of skin while low molecular Hyaluronic Acid, which is 40 times smaller1, penetrates further into the epidermal skin layers where deeper wrinkles originate. Glycine Saponin supports Hyaluronic Acid production in the cells of the dermal layer where the deepest wrinkles are formed. Concentrated Dexpanthenol supports skin’s overnight regeneration process.

Peptides can stimulate specific mechanisms in the skin (e.g. collagen production), so are great ingredients for keeping skin looking youthful for longer.

Clinically proven

Non-comedogenic

Dermatologically tested

pigmentation

I've chosen this clinically proven serum for you to target hyperpigmentation. It contains the brands patented Thiamidol, which regulates tyrosinase (the enzyme which creates melanin), and is the first product on the market to actually have been tested on the human version of this enzyme (other products use mushroom tyrosinase instead, which can behave quite differently).

glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract

Liquorice is a legume which grows in the Mediterranean, the Middle East & Russia. It contains the active constituent glabridin, which has been shown to prevent and reverse UV-induced skin damage, to provide visible skin-lightening properties to the skin.

Its second active component, Glycyrrhetinic acid is used in skincare for its anti-inflammatory benefits. It works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory substances, such as cortisone, within the body, with some research showing results to be comparable to prescription hydrocortisone cream.

sodium ascorbyl phosphate

Vitamin C has many skin benefits, including its action as an antioxidant, to neutralise free radicals (reactive molecules with an unpaired electron), preventing them from causing damage to cells within the body. Vitamin C is also involved in the collagen-production process, so provides anti-wrinkle activity through this mechanism. Lastly, Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin-synthesis, and can therefore visibly reduce areas of hyperpigmentation in the skin.

An anti-pigment active discovered by Eucerin after researching the effect of 50,000 different compounds on their ability to inhibit human tyrosinase (which is involved in producing melanin, our skin’s pigment). Clinically proven to visibly reduce hyperpigmentation with just 2 weeks of use.

Thiamidol

Fight dark spots and prevent their reappearance with a double dose of the Eucerin Anti-Pigment Dual Serum; a dual-action concentrate that’s clinically and dermatologically proven to fade the look of hyperpigmentation over time. With regular use in a daily skincare regime, Eucerin’s studies claim that first results are visible after two weeks and improve continuously with regular use. A symptom of exposure to sunlight, hormonal influences and ageing, pigmentation is caused by an increase in melanin production, our body’s natural pigment that gives colour to skin, which can go into overdrive and create dark patches and age spots. Packaged in a twin-compartment bottle, the anti-pigment serum comprises a harmonious combination of Hyaluronic acid to drive moisture into skin and lock in lasting hydration, and Thiamidol, a patented ingredient that acts at the root cause of hyperpigmentation is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, helping prevent its re-appearance with regular usage. With consistent application of this hydrating concentrate combo, skin’s surface will feel smoother, lacklustre complexions are illuminated and dark spots appear lighter. Clinically and dermatologically-tested.

These formulas include a blend of actives to target multiple pathways that lead to visible hyperpigmentation (melanin production, transfer to skin cells etc).

Brightening serum picks

This targeted serum contains a host of brightening ingredients including niacinamide to prevent excess melanin transfer to the skin cells, alongside a blend of Aryuvedic botanicals such as Triphala to reduce visible pigmentation. Resorcinol works to inhibit excess melanin production to provide a multi-pathway approach to reducing areas of visible hyperpigmentation on the skin.

This dual-system serum from Eucerin has been clinically proven to reduce hyperpigmentation in the skin. After just 4 weeks use, 97% agreed that the product helps reduce dark spots, and 100% said it made skin look more radiant. The magic? Eucerin's patented Thiamidol, which helps to reduce visible hyperpigmentation and with regular use, prevents it from re-appearing.

This water-based formula includes a blend of 2% alpha arbutin and 1% kojic acid alongside niacinamide, vitamin c and mulberry extract. Each of these actives work to target different parts of the pigmentation pathway, so work synergistically to fade dark spots in the skin. An extremely potent formula for the price point. Fragrance and alcohol free.

Sensitive

This night cream is designed to work alongside the serum from the range to target hyperpigmentation. Using the same patented ingredient, Thiamidol, this has been clinically proven to improve results vs serum alone.

Squalane is a natural substance usually derived from olives. It is structurally very similar to our skin’s own sebum, so is a great ingredient to support our own natural skin processes. In drier skin, which is naturally lacking in natural sebum, it helps to support the skin barrier to prevent water loss, which results in more hydrated, smooth and plump skin. Due to its sebum-mimicking structure, it is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t cause breakouts, so is also suitable for oily and acne-prone skin. It can be a great option to reduce any over-stimulation of the sebaceous glands, which can occur with excess cleansing (and make breakouts worse). It also works to support the skin barrier to combat any drying effects caused by ingredients commonly associated with acne treatment, so is a great ingredient for all skin types.

squalane

Eucerin Anti-Pigment Night Cream contains Thiamidol, an effective and patented ingredient that acts at the root cause of hyperpigmentation by reducing melanin production.

The result is plumped, supple and soft skin, with a smooth appearance. This lightweight and quick-absorbing cream makes normal to combination complexions feel fresh and comfortable, and provides an excellent base for makeup application.

daily protection

I have chosen this day cream for you to deeply hydrate the skin whilst providing UV protection with an SPF25. It includes the ingredient glyceryl glucoside, which works to stimulate the body's own production of Aquaporin 3 (Aquaporins regulate water transfer into the cells), so an increase helps to distribute and retain water throughout the deeper layers of the skin.

Most moisturisers improve skin hydration by limiting the evaporation of water from the skin and/or by binding moisture in to the outer layer of the skin with humectants such as Glycerin. Skin also has its own hydration system – the AquaPorins. These microscopic channels transport water between skin cells and support skin hydration from within. Eucerin AquaPorin Active enhances their natural strength. The formula contains Gluco Glycerol, a state-of-the-art hydrating ingredient, which is proven to increase the number of AquaPorins in the skin. This means that, in addition to limiting evaporation and binding water into the outer layers of skin, Eucerin AquaPorin Aactive enhances skin’s own moisture supply. The velvety texture of Eucerin AquaPorin Active with SPF 25 and UVA protection for all skin types provides intense, 24-hour hydration and is easily absorbed by the skin.

blackheads

enlarged pores

I have chosen this light exfoliating serum for your evening routine, to reduce visible pores as refine skin texture, as well as plump out fine lines and wrinkles.

Gluconolactone is a poly hydroxy acid (PHA). PHAs work by gently dissolving the keratin that binds our outermost layer of skin cells, encouraging the natural exfoliation process of the skin, leading to smoother, clearer skin. This process also encourages new skin cell generation in the basal layer of the epidermis, a process which naturally slows with age, so with repeated use this can have an overall anti-ageing effect on the skin. Gluconolactone has also been shown to inhibit the enzyme elastase, which breaks down elastin in the skin (an essential protein produced by the fibroblasts), leading to sagging of the skin.

PHAs are much larger in molecular weight vs AHAs so they cannot penetrate the skin as fast or as far, which therefore makes more gentle & suitable for more sensitive skin types, including those with rosacea-prone skin. Gluconolactone is also especially good for drier skin types as it also has natural humectant qualities, meaning it draws water towards it, hydrating the skin from within.

This leads to smoother, brighter, clearer skin, whilst reducing skin discolouration & fine lines/wrinkles with continued use.

Glycolic acid has the smallest molecular weight of all the AHAs, meaning it can penetrate the skin quickest, producing the fastest results, but also most likely to cause skin sensitivity, so it is best for those with fairly tolerant skin types.

glycolic acid

A dual-action overnight peeling and serum that exfoliates and refines skin texture, promotes skin cell renewal and plumps up even the deepest wrinkles. 

The creamy emulsion contains an effective AHA (alpha-hydroxy-acid) Complex  and Glycine Saponin. AHAs, many of them known as Fruit Acids, exfoliate skin while Glycine Saponin supports the production of Hyaluronic Acid in the dermal layer where deeper wrinkles originate. The transparent gel combines concentrated high and low molecular Hyaluronic Acid. High molecular Hyaluronic Acid works to smooth the external layers of skin while the low molecular Hyaluronic Acid (which is 40 times smaller) penetrates further into the epidermal layers where deeper wrinkles originate. 

The two formulas combine on your skin to make it feel smooth. This innovative product is designed to be used overnight and, when used regularly, Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Night Peeling & Serum is clinically and dermatologically proven to refine skin texture and promote skin cell renewal while plumping up even the deepest wrinkles. Skin is smoother and more radiant and pores are refined.

I have chosen this high-strength brightening treatment to boost your daily routine, and to target pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.

L-ascorbic acid is Vitamin C in its purest form, and the active form required by the body to result in the many skin skin benefits of Vitamin C. The issue with L-ascorbic acid is in the delivery, as it is very unstable in water, and needs a pH 4 or below for it to penetrate the skin. That being said, when it can be stabilised in a formula and is able to penetrate the skin, it provides the highest potency of any form of Vitamin C currently available.

ascorbic acid

Eucerin Hyaluron- Filler Vitamin C Booster is suitable for all skin types and is clinically and dermatologically proven to strengthen skin and plump up wrinkles. Skin is smoother, fresher and more radiant in just seven days and results improve over time.

arginine hcl

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine is a broad-spectrum UV filter, protecting across the whole UVA and UVB wavelength range (280-400nm). It is a chemical filter (as opposed to mineral/physical), which works by absorbing UVB light in the outer layers of the epidermis, then converting it into heat (to neutralise the energy which can lead to cell damage), and scattering it away from the body.

It is very photostable, so does not degrade in the presence of sunlight, unlike some other UV filters on the market. It has also been shown to improve the UV stability of other more sensitive filters, when used in combination.

bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine

Chemical UV filters (as opposed to mineral or physical UV filters) work by absorbing UVB light in the outer layers of the epidermis, then converting it into heat (to neutralise the energy which can lead to cell damage), and scattering it away from the body. 

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane / Avobenzone is a chemical UVA filter, and currently the only one to be approved globally (due to extremely limiting and lengthy FDA approval process on new sunscreen ingredients). It protects against the entire UVA range, 310-400nm, making it a great ingredient to work in combination with other, more widely available, UVB filters. The problem with this is that is degrades very quickly in the presence of sunlight, which is part of the rationale for being advised to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.

Titanium dioxide is a naturally-occurring mineral found in abundance on earth. It is used as a UV filter in sun protection products, as it offers broad spectrum protection against both UVB and UVA wavelengths (although marginally less broad vs. zinc oxide)

It is a white powder, and works on the skin by creating a very fine film on the skin, which due to its colour, is able to reflect a broad spectrum of UV light, preventing it from entering the skin to cause any cell damage. It has great skin compatibility so is suitable for sensitive skin types.
