The Eucerin story: from the pharmacy to everyday skincare

The Eucerin story begins in Hamburg, where the pharmacist Paul C. Beiersdorf founded the company that became Beiersdorf in 1882. In 1900 the young chemist Isaac Lifschütz applied for a patent on an emulsifying agent that he named Eucerit, after a Greek phrase meaning “the beautiful wax”. Eucerit made the first stable water-in-oil emulsions possible, and the creams of that time were built on it.

In 1950 the pH5 ointment arrived, the first product to look after the skin’s acid protection layer. The pH5 range later grew to cover the whole body, and in 2006 Hyaluron-Filler joined the face care. Eucerin products have been developed together with dermatologists and pharmacists from the start, and that partnership still shapes the brand.

The ranges at a glance

The Eucerin selection is divided into ranges whose names tell you what the skin needs. UreaRepair is body care for very dry, rough skin. pH5 is the range for dry and sensitive skin, from body wash to hand cream. Hyaluron-Filler is anti-wrinkle face care with hyaluronic acid, and DermatoCLEAN is face cleansing that removes make-up and leaves the skin soft. Lip Active looks after the lips and adds sun protection. Below we go through the ranges that are currently in our selection.

Urea Repair Plus: body lotion for very dry skin

UreaRepair is a body care range for skin that feels tight, rough or dry. Its core is a triple formula: urea moisturises and softens the skin intensively, the skin’s own natural moisturising factors (NMF) raise its water-binding capacity, and ceramides strengthen the skin barrier so that moisture stays in. The range is clinically and dermatologically tested, and the intensive moisture lasts up to 48 hours.

From this range we carry the Urea Repair Plus 10% urea body lotion in 250 ml. It is a lotion for the driest spots such as shins, elbows and feet, and it also works for the whole body after a shower. To compare different body lotions and creams, browse body creams.

pH5: shower gel and hand cream for sensitive skin

The pH5 range is made for dry and sensitive skin. Its aim is to restore the skin’s optimal pH and strengthen its natural protective mechanisms, so that the skin resists environmental influences better and is less sensitive. Several products in the range contain dexpanthenol. They are clinically and dermatologically tested, protect against drying out and leave the skin soft and smooth.

From the range we have the gentle shower gel for dry and sensitive skin, in a 400 ml pump bottle. Washing is part of every day, and this is where a gel made for sensitive skin makes sense. Compare it with other shower gels.

Hands meet water, soap and cold weather every day. For them there is the pH5 hand cream for dry and sensitive skin, in a 75 ml tube. The cream contains glycerin and panthenol. The small tube fits a handbag, a desk drawer or a glove box, and it is easy to use after washing hands and before bed. You will find more choices among our hand creams.

Hyaluron-Filler: a hydrating booster for the face

Hyaluron-Filler is anti-wrinkle face care built around hyaluronic acid. The range aims to fill wrinkles and give the skin a smoother, younger and more radiant look. The hydrating booster belongs to the +3x Effect line, which is made for skin with the first signs of ageing.

We carry the Hyaluron-Filler hydration booster with hyaluronic acid in 30 ml. It is an ultra-light gel texture that suits all skin types, sensitive skin included. The booster goes onto cleansed skin before the day cream when you want to layer your hydration. More options are on the face creams page.

DermatoCLEAN: clean skin without the tight feeling

DermatoCLEAN starts from the idea that clean, moisturised skin breathes better. Thorough cleansing is the basis of all skincare. The range combines naturally derived active ingredients that remove make-up and help keep the skin’s natural moisture balance, and after cleansing the skin feels clear, soft and fresh.

We have the DermatoClean 3-in-1 micellar water with hyaluronic acid in 200 ml. It is a cleanser, make-up remover and toner in one, and it contains hyaluronic acid. Its gentle formula suits sensitive skin as well. Use it in the morning, in the evening or for a quick refresh in the middle of the day: apply with a cotton pad and wipe over the face.

Lip Active: lip balm with sun protection

The Lip Active SPF15 lip balm is made for dry, rough and sensitive lips. It moisturises the lips, keeps them soft and protects them from the sun’s UV rays. The balm comes as a 4.8 gram stick that fits any pocket and works for winter winds and summer sun alike.

Eucerin in an everyday routine

Eucerin products fit together into a simple routine. In the morning cleanse your face with micellar water, add the hydrating booster and put Lip Active on your lips. Keep the hand cream within reach during the day. In the evening cleanse again, use the pH5 shower gel in the shower and apply body lotion afterwards. Face, body, hands and lips are looked after in a few easy steps.

The products also make good gifts. The hand cream and the lip balm are a small, practical pair for a winter present or a birthday bag. For a bigger gift, the shower gel and the body lotion go well together, because dry skin is always grateful for them.
