My skin feels tights after cleansing. Is this normal?

Tightness is often a sign of dry skin. If your skin feels like this it’s even more important to give it the care it needs – an intensive moisturiser that also protects skin from further moisture loss.

Will my acne clear up by itself as I get older?

That depends. Many people who experience adolescent acne find that their skin problems heal as they get older, but for others the problems continue to develop and evolve into adult acne. Some people have no problems with their skin when they’re young but find that acne develops at a later stage. If this happens women in particular should consult a doctor as symptoms may well be linked to hormonal imbalances.

What is the difference between a toner and a micellar water?

Micellar water is a cleanser, toner and make-up remover all in one intended for use when you need a quick and convenient cleansing solution. Toner is applied after using a dedicated cleanser such as Eucerin DermoPurifyer Cleansing Gel and prepares skin for moisturiser and other care products. Toner is particularly suitable for oily and blemish-prone skin as it feels refreshing.

FAQ

What does a toner do and why should I use one?

Toner (sometimes called ‘facial tonic’ or ‘facial water’) is used as a final step to facial cleansing. It refreshes your skin, purifies your pores, removes any last traces of cleanser and prepares your skin for the next step in your skincare routine.

Why does Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner contain alcohol?

Alcohol has proved its worth as an effective ingredient. It kills bacteria, reduces excess sebum and leave skin with a cool and pleasant astringent feeling. The concentration of alcohol used in this toner is proven not to dry out the skin.

Can I use Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner alongside antibiotics and products containing Benzoyl Peroxide?

We do not recommend the using the toner in combination with acne medication. If you like the refreshing feel of a toner, try the alcohol-free Eucerin DermoPurifyer Micellar Water instead.

I’ve previously used the Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner. What is the difference between that and Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner?

We’ve changed the fragrance, the name and the packaging. The active ingredients in the formula remain the same.

I’ve been using Eucerin DermoPurifyer Toner for several days but I still have spots. What am I doing wrong?

Eucerin DermoPurifyer can help blemish-prone skin to recover, but you shouldn’t expect to see results overnight. The normal cycle for skin renewal takes about 28 days, and the more impurities there are in your skin, the longer it will take before you start seeing the results. Stick to your daily cleansing and care routine for at least eight weeks and you should start to see the benefits.

Gentle Exfoliating Toner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I trust Eucerin products as they are known for being kind to skin, so I did not have any concerns with this trial. It is easy to use and comes in a good sized bottle. The product does not cause any irritation, stinging or sensitivity, which can be a concern with exfoliating toners. I liked using the product to replace my own toner, but I did not notice its effect on my skin. It didn't dry out my skin, as it promises, which is definitely a plus. However, the claims to unclog pores or refine skin texture were not apparent for me. As always with skincare, everyone is different, so it may be amazing for someone else. The main thing is that it didn't do any harm, so I'll probably continue using it until it finishes.

Excellent Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Eucerin Purifying Toner is an excellent toner product. At first look, the packaging is in a simple bottle that is easy to use. The formula itself is gentle and refreshing on the skin. It's non-drying and does not make the skin feel tight after use. After a couple of weeks of use, the toner has improved the appearance of my skin and has reduced the appearance and occurrence of blemishes. Similarly, the texture of my skin has improved and has felt more refreshed and refined. I would recommend this product.

Refreshing Toner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a seamless, refreshing addition to my skincare routine! This toner feels so gentle on my skin, yet successfully absorbs my greasiness and cleanses it easily. I can feel the difference and it definitely feels softer after use. My skin looks and feels clearer, it’s going to be a permanent part of my routine now.
