What is Thiamidol and how does it work?

Thiamidol is a revolutionary and unique active ingredient that effectively reduces dark spots (e.g. sun spots) and pigmentation, addressing the common skin concern of hyperpigmentation in Indian skin by targeting its root cause. Discover how Eucerin products with Thiamidol can help you achieve a more even and radiant skin tone.

How does Thiamidol address hyperpigmentation?

Uneven skin tone is caused by an increase in melanin, the pigment that gives color to our skin, hair. Factors such as sun exposure, acne, inflammation, and aging can cause skin cells to produce excess melanin in certain areas, leading to dark spots or uneven pigmentation, also known as hyperpigmentation or melasma.

Thiamidol helps reduce dark spots by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which triggers melanin production. With less melanin produced, less pigment reaches the skin's surface, causing some types of dark spots to gradually fade while reducing the likelihood of recurrence, making it an effective solution for pigmentation issues.

Impressive results for Thiamidol

Effective ingredients can make a visible difference in addressing hyperpigmentation. Thiamidol is the most effective out of 50,000 ingredients tested, targeting the root cause of pigmentation by regulating melanin production.¹ This helps visibly reduce dark spots and prevent their recurrence.

Consistent use of products containing Thiamidol leads to noticeable results:

96% of women agree that it effectively reduces dark spots and promotes a more even complexion.²

Thiamidol against sun-induced pigment spots

Sun exposure is the leading cause of hyperpigmentation, as it stimulates melanin production. Regular exposure to the sun accelerates the development of pigment spots, but consistent use of daily sun protection can help prevent new spots from forming.

Combining skincare products containing Thiamidol with daily sun protection can enhance the effectiveness of the ingredient in reducing and preventing pigment spots.

Our recommendation: Combine the Eucerin Anti-Pigment range with the Eucerin Pigment Control Sun Fluid SPF50+.

Thiamidol for post-acne marks

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin becomes inflamed or injured, such as after acne, leaving dark spots even after healing. These dark spots can take time to fade, making skin appear uneven.

Eucerin’s DermoPurifyer range is specially formulated to reduce post-acne marks, control blemishes, and minimize excess shine. The DermoPurifyer Triple Effect Serum is further enriched withThiamidol, to help reduce post-acne marks:

94% agree their skin looks more even after 8 weeks of regular usage.²
