About
Specially formulated for the intimate area. Comforts, protects and helps to soothe irritation.
NART: 63095-09900-25Eucerin Intim-Protect
Skin in the intimate area is especially sensitive and if its natural barriers are affected, it can become susceptible to irritation, discomfort and even infections. That’s why it needs a mild and soothing cleansing product. Eucerin Intim-Protect has a pH value of 4.5, adapted to that of the female intimate area, and a mild surfactant tenside system. Formulated with skin’s own Lactic Acid, it maintains the natural vaginal microflora, while soothing irritations. Use daily to cleanse, care and comfort.
Clinical Formula
Lactic Acid
Lactic Acid is a skin-endogenous component of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and a member of the Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) family. It acts in the stratum corneum with a two-fold effect:
- Moisturization: Lactic Acid reduces skin scaling and balances the skin’s pH value to fight dry skin symptoms.
- Comedolytic Action: By promoting gentle exfoliation, Lactic Acid prevents the formation of comedones and helps keep pores clear, contributing to a smoother skin texture.

FAQ
What are surfactants, and which ones does Eucerin use?
Surfactants are active cleansing agents, sometimes also called active surface or active interface substances. They are organic compounds that influence molecular adhesion and reduce surface tension. When used in skin cleansers they make it easier to remove dirt particles from skin’s surface.
Comprehensive clinical and dermatological studies prove that the extra-mild surfactants used in Eucerin cleansing products – which include Sodium Myreth Sulfate and Lauryl Glucoside – have excellent skin compatibility.
How can I be sure your products are safe for my sensitive skin?
All Eucerin cleansing products have been specially formulated to combine gentle cleansing with excellent skin protection and clinically-proven skin tolerability.
Before applying a new product to your intimate area, test it first by applying it repeatedly to the skin on the inside of your elbow. If there’s no reaction (e.g. redness, swelling or itching) then it’s safe to assume the product is compatible with your skin. If you have any concerns we recommend that you ask a pharmacist or dermatologist for their advice.
