About
Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE Moisturising Cream Light is a refreshing face moisturiser that delivers intense, immediate and long-lasting hydration.
Skin needs water to be healthy. And it’s not just the amount of water, but how effectively it’s distributed that matters when it comes to ensuring skin is well hydrated. Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE Moisturising Cream Light supports skin’s own moisture network so that skin receives the water it needs.
Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE Moisturising Cream Light was inspired by the Nobel Prize winning discovery of Aquaporins. Aquaporins are channels that transport moisture from cell to cell.The formula contains Gluco-Glycerol which has been scientifically proven to stimulate the creation of Aquaporins, thereby improving moisture transport in the skin.
Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE Moisturising Cream Light is suitable for normal and combination skin, including sensitive skin, and its quick-absorbing formulation makes it an ideal base for make-up. Skin looks radiant and healthy and feels soft, supple and fresh. And stays so over time.
Ingredients
We choose all our ingredients with great care and never compromise on quality. Learn more about the key ingredients of this product.
The ingredients in our brand products are updated regularly. For this reason, occasionally there may be discrepancies between the ingredients on our website and on our product packaging. We therefore recommend that you always pay attention to the information on our product packaging and check the ingredients listed there.
Gluco-Glycerol (also known as Glyceryl Glucoside) is a nature-identical combination of glycerol and glucose. Used by blue-green algae to ensure their survival for 3.5 billion years, Gluco-Glycerol has been proven to stimulate the creation of Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) in human skin cells, thus increasing the number of aquaporins. Aquaporins control water transfer into and out of the cells. The more AQP3’s there are, the better the distribution of moisture within the deeper layers of skin.
By stimulating skin’s own water system, Gluco-Glycerol helps to moisture skin and improve its barrier function.
How do I pick the right moisturiser for me?
Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE for normal to combination skin is particularly good for those looking for a light but intensely hydrating face moisturiser. You can find information on alternative moisturisers and different skin types throughout our website but, if you are unsure, we recommend that you ask a pharmacist or dermatologist for a face-to-face diagnosis.
How should I prepare my skin before using Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE for normal to combination skin?
Start your skincare routine by cleansing your face thoroughly but gently with Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Refreshing Cleansing Gel. Follow with Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Clarifying Toner. If you are looking for a quick and convenient cleansing solution, try Eucerin DermatoCLEAN 3 in 1 Micellar Cleansing Fluid. Once your skin is clean, it will be better prepared to absorb the active ingredient in AQUAporin ACTIVE for normal to combination skin.
Why should I integrate sun care for my face into my daily routine?
It is very important to protect facial skin from the sun. It’s thinner and more sensitive to UVA and UVB radiation than the skin on the rest of the body. And, because it isn’t protected by clothing, our face is exposed to the sun all year round. Prolonged UV exposure also decreases Aquaporin activity, causing the skin to look and feel dry and dehydrated. Sun protection can help you to avoid cellular DNA damage, photoageing and hyperpigmentation.
Why does dehydrated and sensitive skin need special sun care?
Skin is often dehydrated or sensitive because its natural barrier is compromised. As a result, it is more reactive to sunlight and more susceptible to sun damage. Sunlight can cause sensitive skin to dehydrate further, aggravating symptoms and making it to look and feel drier than before. It is a good idea to use products that have been specially formulated for sensitive skin because they are less likely to trigger a reaction. For normal daylight UV rays try Eucerin AQUAporin ACTIVE with SPF 25 and UVA protection for all skin types and, for higher protection, Eucerin Sun Fluid Mattifying SPF 50+.
