This facial fluid provides high UVA/UVB protection and is specifically formulated to prevent photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). It is suitable for all skin types and is designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face and décolleté.
Key Active Ingredients
The formula combines advanced sun filters with anti-aging and skin-repairing actives:
- Hyaluronic Acid (Triple Effect):
- High Molecular Weight (~2,000 kDa): Remains on the skin’s surface to bind moisture, keeping the skin firm and smoothing fine lines.
- Low Molecular Weight (~52 kDa): Penetrates deeper into the epidermal layers to stimulate the skin’s own hyaluronan synthesis and promote cell rejuvenation.
- Licochalcone A: A powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent derived from the Chinese Licorice plant. It neutralizes free radicals caused by UV radiation and High-Energy Visible (HEVIS) light, protecting deeper skin layers from oxidative stress.
- Enoxolone: Also derived from the licorice plant, this ingredient supports the skin’s own DNA repair mechanism. It further protects the skin by inhibiting the enzymes (hyaluronidase and elastase) that degrade the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid and elastin, helping to maintain hydration and elasticity.
Environmental Commitment
- Microplastic-Free: The formula contains no microplastics, adhering to the UNEP definition.
- Ocean Friendly: The UV filter system is formulated without Octocrylene.
- Sustainable Packaging: The outer folding box is made from FSC-certified paper.
How to Use
Eucerin facial sunscreens are generally intended for daily morning use. It should be applied generously before sun exposure and reapplied frequently—especially after swimming, perspiring, or toweling—to maintain the stated level of protection. The fluid’s texture is designed to be compatible with other skincare products and can typically be used under makeup.
Contraindications & Precautions
- Skin Compatibility: The product is clinically tested and suitable for all skin types.
- Composition Note: The formula contains Alcohol Denat, which contributes to its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture.
- General Sun Safety: You should avoid contact with the eyes. Even when using high-SPF protection, it is advised not to stay in the sun too long, as overexposure is a serious health threat.
