A clinically tested cleansing gel with 2% Salicylic Acid. Formulated to reduce blemishes, post-acne marks and shine.
Acne leaves its marks, physically and emotionally. It affects up to 95% of adolescents and 40% of adults*. Many people experience post-acne marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH for short) long after the acute acne has vanished. After tackling blemishes, they are still stuck fighting their post-acne marks, which can persist for several years or even a decade** with the sun aggravating the symptoms. Up to 87% of people experience post-acne marks. People are equally susceptible, and all skin types can get post-acne marks, although it is more prevalent in darker tones of skin***. Eucerin DermoPure Triple Effect Cleansing Gel with 2% Salicylic Acid helps you to finally beat blemishes and post-acne marks with 3 key factors: 1. Anti-blemish: 2% anti-bacterial Salicylic Acid to reduce impurities and unclog pores. 2. Anti-marks: Exfoliating AHA/BHA/PHA Acid Complex to remove dead skin cells and reduce marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). 3. Anti-shine: Thoroughly cleanses to remove excess sebum, dirt and make-up. For an instantly clean and pure skin feeling, and visibly reduced post-acne marks over time. 96% confirm the product has an anti-blemish, anti-marks and anti-shine effect.**** The Triple Effect Cleansing Gel creates the ideal routine when used together with the Triple Effect Serum (with patented Thiamidol) and the Protective Fluid SPF 30.
Use the cleansing gel as a first step in your routine. Apply twice daily, morning and evening. Lather the product in your hands with water to create a gentle foam. Apply on a wet face or wet body, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off with water. Follow with an appropriate care product. We recommend the Eucerin DermoPure Triple Effect Serum and DermoPure Protective Fluid SPF 30. Skin hack tip: use the 60 second rule for clearer skin. Apply lukewarm water to your face and use your fingers to massage your skin with the cleansing gel for a full 60 seconds. Rinse off, pat dry, and continue with the skin care routine.
Step-by-step guide for Triple Effect Cleansing Gel
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is a particularly effective ingredient that fights the causes of blemish-prone skin: blocked pores and bacterial growth. For this reason it is a key ingredient in several of the Eucerin DERMOPURE formulas.
Salicylic Acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid which acts keratolytically (meaning it removes dead skin cells and softens skin to help prevent blocked pores) and comedolytically (which means it opens up clogged pores). Overall, it improves the appearance of the skin: it reduces blemishes and prevents the build-up of new blemishes.
BHA
BHA stands for Beta hydroxy acid. At Eucerin, we use the BHA Salicylic acid. This small lipophilic acid penetrates into pores for deep pore cleansing, dissolves dead skin cells and controls sebum production.
PHA
PHA stands for Poly hydroxy acid. At Eucerin, we use the PHA Gluconolactone. With its hydroxy groups and larger molecular size, this exfoliating acid penetrates more slowly to the skin. Therefore, it is especially suitable for sensitive skin. It moisturises and makes skin more even and smoother.
