Pharmacist FAQs Answered
What does Eucerin After Sun Gel Cream do for sun-stressed or sunburned skin?
Eucerin After Sun Sensitive Relief Gel Cream is designed to soothe and nourish sun-damaged or sensitive skin. It has ingredients that cool, calm, and restore skin after sun exposure. The formula includes Licochalcone A, which is recognised for decreasing redness and inflammation, and Alpha-Glycosylrutin, a potent antioxidant that protects your skin cells from free radical damage. They are nasty molecules triggered by too much sun exposure and can lead to sun allergies or skin irritations. The gel-cream consistency is light and airy, so it doesn't linger. It is quickly absorbed and can be applied to the face and body; therefore, it's a perfect product for full-body after-sun treatment.
Is after-sun lotion appropriate for people with sun allergies or sensitive skin?
Yes, Eucerin After Sun Gel Cream is formulated for sensitive skin and individuals with sun allergies, such as polymorphic light eruption (PMLE). The formula is fragrance-free and devoid of other potentially irritating ingredients that could exacerbate sensitive or allergy-prone skin. It's generally formulated with skin-soothing ingredients to relieve stinging, burning, or tautness after exposure to the sun. It's also clinically and dermatologically tested to ensure it's safe and gentle for everyone, including those who usually react to skincare products. If your skin tends to irritate, turn red, and become itchy in the sun, this after-sun lotion can help you feel more at ease and aid in your skin's natural healing.
How often do I apply the product, and when should I use it?
Apply the after-sun lotion immediately upon entering indoors from being outside in the sun, especially if your skin is warm, tight, or irritated. After showering with lukewarm water, gently pat the skin dry with a towel. Then apply Eucerin After Sun Gel Cream generously to face and body. You can use it once during the afternoon and once in the evening for extra comfort. You can use it as many times as you need—there's no limit. If your skin still feels hot or dry, you can apply it again safely as needed. For best results, use it every time your skin is exposed to the sun, even if you don't get sunburned, to help keep your skin healthy, strong, and guarded.
Can the after-sun gel stop peeling and dryness after sunbathing?
Yes. One of the main reasons for peeling skin after sunbathing is that it has been scorched and damaged. Eucerin After Sun contains moisturising and repairing ingredients like Glycerin and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride that rehydrate your skin more deeply. Applying this gel-cream daily after sun exposure helps your skin hold onto moisture, reducing the risk of flaking or peeling. The ingredients also support the skin's barrier function, making it recover quickly. Thus, it soothes temporary irritation and guards against longer-term damage, such as dryness and patches. This makes it a perfect after-sun moisturiser for summer holidays or daily sun exposure.
Can children or teenagers use Eucerin After Sun Sensitive Relief Gel Cream?
Yes, it's safe for teenagers and older children with sun-reactive or sensitive skin. It's also fragrance-free and free from harsh chemicals, so it's a better option for younger skin that is still developing. If your child has been outside in the sun, especially after swimming or participating in sports, this gel-cream can cool and calm their skin in a flash. However, if you’re looking for a product for children under 3, it’s best to speak to a pharmacist or paediatrician, as younger skin can react differently. For teens and tweens, though, this is an excellent after-sun gel for daily use in the summer months or while on holiday.
Is using Eucerin After Sun Gel Cream safe on the face and around the eyes?
Eucerin After Sun is for both face and body, so it's safe to use on your face. But again, as with most skin products, steer clear of the eyes. If a little gets into your eyes, wash them with clean water. The unscented and gentle nature of the product is unlikely to sting or burn, but better safe than sorry. This cooling gel texture provides fast relief without imparting a greasy or heavy residue for sensitive areas like the cheeks, nose, or forehead, especially after sun exposure. It's a great option if your face gets too tight or flared up from being outside.
