Thiamidol(R) is an effective and patented ingredient that acts at the root cause of hyperpigmentation. Thiamidol is clinically proven to reduce hyperpigmentation on all skin types, preventing its re-appearance with regular usage. The active was developed in over 10 years of research based on screening of a library of 50,000 compounds.
Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, is an effective ingredient for treatment of acne-prone skin. It is a particularly effective ingredient that fights the causes of blemish-prone skin: blocked pores and bacterial growth. It is an antibacterial ingredient with an exfoliating and comedolytic effect: it counteracts Cutibacterium acnes, a bacteria that can trigger acne outbreaks, it dissolves & removes dead skin and opens up clogged pores and softens the skin to even prevent blocked pores. This small lipophilic acid penetrates into pores for deep pore cleansing. Overall, it improves the appearance of the skin: it reduces blemishes and prevents them from re-appearing.
Licochalcone A is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant active that is derived from the roots of the Chinese licorice plant Glycyrrhiza inflata. Licochalcone A protects cells from oxidative stress mediated by UV and blue light (HEVIS).
Licochalcone A is able to activate anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes. These enzymes protect the skin cells from damage induced by oxidative stress, like lipid peroxidation and DNA as wells as protein damage. Licochalcone A is able to soothe irritated skin and redness.
What are post-acne marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH)?
PIH is a type of hyperpigmentation of the skin that is mainly triggered by the way skin regenerates after inflammation. It can affect the face and body, especially UV-exposed areas, and appears as flat spots of hyper-colouration. These range in colour from pink to red, brown or black, depending on skin tone and the depth of hyper-colouration. The root cause is increased melanin production, the pigment that defines the colour of a person’s skin, which is stimulated by inflammatory factors. The blemish triggers melanocytes – the melanin-producing cells – to release excessive melanosomes (pigment granules). The excessive pigment granules darken and discolour the formerly stressed area. Once initial blemishes have subsided, spots of hyper-colouration, so-called post-acne marks, can remain.
Most acne-related PIH will eventually fade over time, but it can take several years or even a decade until it is fully gone. We therefore recommend our Eucerin DermoPurifyer range to help reduce the visibility of post-acne marks.
How can post-acne marks be prevented?
PIH is mainly triggered by the way skin regenerates after an inflammation. To prevent it, though there are no guarantees, avoid picking at or pressing your pimples.Using an effective skincare formulated with ingredients that can help reduce blemishes can also be effective. We recommend the Eucerin DermoPurifyer range.
Additionally, sun exposure can aggravate PIH symptoms, so we recommend sun protection. Limit the time you spend in the sun and keep out of the sun during its most intense hours. Wear protective clothing and sun hats whenever possible and apply a sun protection factor of at least 30, to protect marks from darkening and help prevent new marks from appearing by using specialized skincare like Eucerin Pigment Control Sun Fluid SPF50+.
What is Thiamidol?
Thiamidol is an effective and patented active ingredient developed during a 10-year research project by Eucerin. It helps to reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation by addressing the root cause, the excess production of melanin in the skin.
The efficacy of Thiamidol in our Eucerin DermoPurifyer Oil Control Triple Effect Serum has been demonstrated in real-life testing: 95% confirm it unclogs pores and 97% believe it makes their skin look cleaner (Study with 100 women after 8 weeks of regular usage in the year 2020, conducted by MWResearch GmbH, Germany).
Beyond Thiamidol, what makes the Eucerin DermoPurifyer Oil Control Triple Effect Serum so effective on blemish-prone skin with post-acne marks?
In addition to Thiamidol, which helps to reduce persistent post-acne marks and prevent their appearance, the serum contains salicylic acid, to help reduce blemishes, and Licochalcone A to prevent new blemishes from appearing. Enriched with our Sebum-Regulation-Technology, the formulation leaves the skin with a long-lasting, matt and non-shiny look. In addition, the serum is non-comedogenic and has a decidedly light feel on application.
