Facial sunscreen to prevent sun spots with color pigments

UV light is the main cause of sun-induced skin damage, but high-energy visible (HEVIS) light can also induce free radicals that cause further stress to skin. Sunlight triggers an increase in melanin production which may lead to hyperpigmentation concerns such as sun spots.

Eucerin Sun Pigment Control Tinted Medium SPF50+ is an everyday facial sunscreen for all skin types that helps to prevent sun-induced hyperpigmentation. The Advanced Spectral Technology combines broadband and photostable UVA/UVB filters¹ for very high UV protection with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UV and HEVIS light. The anti-pigment sunscreen also includes Glycyrrhetinic Acid which supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism.

The color pigments included display a light tint and achieve a dual effect

Immediately covers skin imperfections to promote a more even and unified skin tone
Provides additional defense against HEVIS-induced hyperpigmentation

The formula is further enriched with Thiamidol, an effective and patented ingredient that acts at the root cause of hyperpigmentation. It visibly reduces dark spots over time and, when used regularly, prevents their re-appearance.

Eucerin Sun Pigment Control Tinted Medium SPF50+ has a pleasant light texture that absorbs quickly and is clinically and dermatologically proven to be well tolerated, even by sensitive skin.

(1) Meeting the high standards for UVA and UVB protection defined by Cosmetics Europe. The levels of UVA protection are higher than the EU recommendation.

Clinical and dermatological studies

Clinical and dermatological studies prove very good efficacy and skin tolerability on sensitive and oily and acne-prone skin.

How To Use

Attention

Sun protection isn’t just for sun bathers. Light to moderate everyday exposure affects skin too. That’s why it’s important to include sun protection in your daily skincare routine. Find out more in The importance of sun protection in your daily routine.

Three steps to optimal sun protection

1. Select the right product

Choose a product that offers the right level of protection for your skin. It should protect against UVA and UVB rays and offer HEVIS light defense. It should also be tailored to your skin type and condition.

How much Eucerin sunscreen dry skin should I apply to my face?

2. Use the right amount

It’s important to use sufficient product and to reapply it at regular intervals. You can use your palm to measure how much product to use. We recommend that – to cover your face, neck and décolleté – you use a thick line of cream that stretches from the tip of your middle finger down to your wrist.

Apply sunscreen for dry skin thoroughly to your face

3. Apply thoroughly

Some parts are easy to miss. Don’t forget the bridge of your nose and your neck.

Important usage instructions

Apply generously on face before sun exposure and reapply frequently especially after swimming, perspiring or toweling to maintain the original protection
Reducing the quantity will significantly lower the level of protection
Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product
Over-exposure to the sun is a serious health threat
Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight
Avoid contact with eyes
Allow product to absorb completely, and avoid direct contact with textiles and hard surfaces to prevent staining

Ingredients

Licochalcone A

Licochalcone A is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing ingredient. It is derived from the root of the Chinese Licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza Inflata) which uses natural compounds to protect its cells from excessive sunlight. When used in skincare products, Licochalcone A works to reduce inflammation and neutralize free radicals that negatively influence skin cells and accelerate the aging process. It helps to protect the deeper epidermal skin layers from sun-induced effects.

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhetinic Acid is derived from the roots of the Chinese Licorice plant − Glycyrrhiza Glabra − and is known for its antioxidant and skin-soothing properties. It helps to protect the skin cells in the deeper epidermal layers from harmful UV-induced free radicals and supports skin´s own DNA repair mechanism.

Thiamidol

Thiamidol is a Eucerin patented ingredient. Ten years in development, this highly effective active is clinically and dermatologically proven to reduce dark spots and prevent their re-appearance.

It’s not just UV rays that can damage skin. High-energy visible (HEVIS) light generates free radicals that cause premature skin aging and trigger hyperpigmentation issues such as sun spots. Eucerin Sun Protection Pigment Control Light SPF50+ offers Advanced Spectral Technology that goes beyond UV to protect skin from the negative effects of HEVIS light too. The formula supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism and works to prevent and reduce dark spots.

Advanced Spectral Technology

Superior broadband and photostable UVA/UVB filters¹ are combined with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UVA and HEVIS light.

Color Pigments work for a dual effect, both providing protection and promoting a more unified, even skin tone:

Provides additional defense against HEVIS induced pigmentation

DNA protection

The innovative Pigment Control formula also includes Glycyrrhetinic Acid which supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism.

Thiamidol

This unique, patented ingredient works at the root cause of hyperpigmentation. It is clinically and dermatologically proven to reduce dark spots over time and, when used regularly, prevents their re-appearance.

FAQ (5)

What is hyperpigmentation and what causes it?

Hyperpigmentation is the term used to describe areas of uneven pigmentation on skin. It appears as darkened patches or spots that make skin look uneven. These dark spots are often referred to as sun spots (or age spots) and hyperpigmentation is also the symptom of skin conditions such as melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The sun is the number one cause of hyperpigmentation as it’s sunlight that triggers the production of melanin, the pigment that gives our skin its color, in the first place. This is why effective UVA and UVB protection with high-energy visible light defense is the most important step you can take in helping to protect your skin from hyperpigmentation.
How do I know which SPF to use?

Sunscreens are available in four different levels of protection: low (factor 6 to 10), medium (15 to 25), high (30 to 50) and very high (50+). The higher the protection factor the better your skin is protected, but it’s important to apply the product thoroughly (be careful not to miss any bits) and to reapply it generously every two hours.
What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?

UVA rays penetrate the deeper layers of skin. They stimulate the production of free radicals in the skin which cause oxidative stress and can lead to indirect DNA damage (where the free radicals modify cellular DNA over time). UVA rays are most commonly associated with premature skin aging. They can also trigger sun allergies such as Polymorphous Light Eruption (PLE). UVB rays can also provoke allergies, but to a lesser degree.

UVB rays provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D and stimulate the production of melanin which is responsible for tanning. They don’t travel as deeply as UVA rays, penetrating only the outermost layers of skin, but they cause more immediate damage such as sunburn. UVB rays are directly absorbed by cellular DNA which can lead to skin diseases such as actinic keratosis and skin cancer.

Both types of UV can induce hyperpigmentation and may contribute to conditions such as sun spots (also known as age spots).
What is high-energy visible light and why does my skin need to be protected against it?

The sunlight spectrum consists of UV, visible and infrared light. Visible sunlight can be detected by the human eye, while the others remain invisible. Part of this visible spectrum has a high energy level and is known as high-energy visible light. It is also referred to as HEVIS light, HEV Light, HEVL and sometimes ‘blue light’ or ‘blue violet light’

Like UVA rays, HEVIS light penetrates the deeper layers of skin and can generate free radicals. These free radicals are one of the main causes of photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun) and can also trigger hyperpigmentation.

Many modern sunscreens offer effective protection against UVA and UVB rays, but we recommend that you look out for products that also defend against the negative effects of HEVIS light.
Why should I integrate sun face care into my daily routine?

Facial skin is more sensitive to UVA/UVB radiation and HEVIS light than skin on the rest of the body as it is exposed to sun all year round. Sun protection can help you avoid the cellular DNA damage caused by UV, photoaging (premature aging caused by the sun) and hyperpigmentation. It is important to protect facial skin whenever it is exposed to the sun.
