    Sunscreen and day cream with SPF

    What is the actual difference between sunscreen for the face and face cream with SPF? And I have pigment spots on my upper lip. I have had some effect from Eucerin against pigment before. I was thinking of using cleanser and serum in the evening and spot gel and day cream in the morning. Does this count as four or two applications? Would you rather choose to combine with other products against pigment spots than to use all of these from Eucerin?

      Hi Kirsti 👋 Very good question! So fun that you ask 😍 ☀️ Sunscreen for the face (pure sun protection) This is a sun product developed specifically for facial skin – often lighter in consistency than body sunscreens, and more suited for sensitive, oily, dry, or acne-prone skin. ✅ Typical characteristics: -Full UV protection (often broad-spectrum SPF 30–50+) -Formulated to sit nicely under makeup -Often tested for high UVA protection (PA+++ , UVA symbol or high PPD) -Can have extra benefits: anti-aging, pigment reduction, oil control, etc. 🔎 Used as the last step in the morning routine – after moisturizer ☀️ Face cream with SPF (day cream with sun factor) This is primarily a moisturizer that also contains sun filter. ✅ Typical characteristics: -Primarily made for moisture and care – sun protection is a bonus -Often has lower SPF (SPF 15–30), and varies in UVA protection -Can be great for winter use, indoor use, or short exposures 🔎 Not suitable alone if you are going to be outside for a long time or in strong sun – then you should layer sunscreen over it It’s great that you’ve already had positive experiences with Eucerin products for pigment spots 😍 When it comes to your planned routine with Eucerin products, it’s important to be aware of the use of Thiamidol, the active ingredient in these products ⬇️ -Eucerin recommends not exceeding four applications of products containing Thiamidol per day. In your suggested routine: Evening: Cleanser and serum (1 application with Thiamidol) Morning: Spot gel and day cream (2 applications with Thiamidol) This gives a total of 3 applications with Thiamidol per day, which is within the recommended limit. Regardless of which products you choose, consistent use of sun protection is crucial to prevent further pigmentation, especially in areas like the upper lip. Eucerin Anti-Pigment Day Cream SPF30 provides both treatment and protection, but in strong sun, it may be necessary to use a sunscreen with higher SPF! 🙌 If you want guidance or tips for a tailored skincare routine, you are more than welcome to take our free skin test 😍 you can find this in our app under the "Beauty Scan" section. Wishing you a nice day ahead ✨

    Thiamidol

    It says that you should not use the products from Eucerin with thiamidol more than four times a day. Does that apply to one or more if you are using cleanser, serum, and cream?

      Hi Kirsti 💛 Thanks for the question! The products in the Anti-Pigment series from Eucerin contain the ingredient thiamidol, and Eucerin recommends a maximum of four applications with thiamidol per day. This means that if you use multiple products with thiamidol – for example, serum, day cream, and night cream – each application with thiamidol counts towards the total. If you use both serum and cream in the same routine, it counts as two out of four. A tip is to combine the products in the series with other good products without thiamidol – so you get effect without exceeding the recommended use 😊 Hope this was helpful! 🌟
