Can I use Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity 3D Serum instead of a moisturiser?
The serum contains both high and low molecular Hyaluronic Acid which improves skin moisturization, but it has not been formulated to replace a day or night moisturiser or a dedicated eye cream. For best results we recommend that you use it in combination with the other products in the Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity range.
Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity 3D Serum does not protect skin from the sun. As the sun’s rays are a key contributor to age-spots, and other signs of skin ageing, it’s important to wear an appropriate sun protection product, even on cloudy days. We recommend either Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity Day SPF 30 or SPF 15 depending on the weather and your preferences. Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity Eye also offers SPF 15 as well as UVA protection.
For intense sun exposure choose a higher protection factor from the Eucerin sun protection range such as Eucerin Sun Fluid Pigment Control SPF 50 which also contains Thiamidol and works to reduce age-spots.
What are age-spots and what causes them?
Age-spots (also known as sun spots) are a common form of hyperpigmentation and appear as small, flat and darkened patches of skin that are light brown to black in color. They’re most common in people over 40 (hence the name) but they can occur earlier.
They’re caused by an increased production of melanin – the natural pigment that gives our skin its color. Melanin acts as your skin’s natural sunscreen, but excessive sun exposure increases the amount of melanin that skin produces. As the alternative name `sun spots’ suggests, they’re commonly triggered by over-exposure to the sun. You can find out more about them in What causes age spots and how can I reduce them?
How do I know if Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity is the right anti-aging range for me?
Facial skin is more exposed to sun than skin on the body and is vulnerable to harmful UVA and UVB rays which can cause photoaging (premature skin ageing caused by the sun). It’s important to protect skin to avoid DNA damage and hyperpigmentation, so our day cream has SPF 15 and a UVA filter built-in.
If you’d like all the benefits of our mature day cream only with higher UVB protection, we recommend Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity Day SPF 30.
How much product should I use?
One pump of product should be plenty to cover your face, neck and décolleté but, if you find you need a bit more, then that’s fine too.
Will this product reduce age spots, plumps up deep wrinkles and improve skin elasticity?
Yes. Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity 3D Serum is clinically and dermatologically proven to deliver these results.
