UV light is the main cause of sun-induced skin damage, but high-energy visible (HEVIS) light can also induce free radicals that cause further stress to skin.

Eucerin Sun Gel-Cream Oil Control SPF 50+ is an everyday facial sunscreen for oily and acne-prone skin. The Advanced Spectral Technology combines broadband and photostable UVA and UVB filters1 for very high UV protection with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UV and HEVIS light. The sunscreen for oily skin also includes Glycyrrhetinic Acid which supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism.

Sebum-regulating Oil Control technology with L-Carnitine and absorbing micro-particles gives skin an immediate dry touch finish and a long-lasting anti-shine effect of up to eight hours.

Eucerin Sun Gel-Cream Oil Control SPF 50+ is unperfumed and has an ultra-light, non-greasy texture. Clinical and dermatological studies prove good skin tolerability on sensitive and acne-prone skin.

(1) Meeting the high standards for UVA and UVB protection defined by Cosmetics Europe. The levels of UVA protection are higher than the EU recommendation.

Clinical studies:

Clinical and dermatological studies prove good skin tolerability on sensitive and acne-prone skin. The formula was also tested in, and proven to be suitable for, humid climates.

Main Findings:

Two Product-in-use studies2 involving 325 women with combination, oily and acne-prone skin showed excellent results. They reported:

• Immediate absorption (98%)
• Ultra-light texture (95%)
• Long-lasting dry matt finish (94%)
• No shine a few hours after application (93%)

In a separate clinical study the sample confirmed that3:

• Their skin was less oily (90%)
• The product did not clog their pores (86% )
• The product has a sebum-regulating effect (81%)

2 Eucerin research. Eucerin Sun Gel-Cream Oil Control SPF50+ was applied approximately once a day for two weeks. The studies were performed in hot and humid climates (Thailand and Spain).
