Frequently Asked Questions

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 moisturisation, 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 aging, 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-ageing range for me?

The Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Elasticity range has been specially formulated for mature skin and for those whose primary concerns are a lack of elasticity and deep wrinkles. While our skin is as individual as we are, and skin ages differently depending on our genetics and lifestyle, these concerns are normally experienced by those who are 50+. The products work together to plump up deep wrinkles and improve skin’s elasticity. Skin feels firm and looks fresh and radiant.

If you’re more concerned by earlier stage lines and wrinkles, then you might like to try the Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler range. And, if sagging skin and a loss of volume and facial contours are your primary concerns (as is often the case for women between approximately 40 and 50) try the Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Volume-Lift range which has been specially formulated to plump up deep wrinkles and redefine facial contours for a lifting effect.

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.
