Eucerin UltraSensible Soothing Care for Dry Skin, Fragrance-Free, 50 ml

When should you use this UltraSensible product for dry skin?

Eucerin UltraSensible Soothing Care is a facial treatment designed for dry and hypersensitive skin—skin that reddens, feels hot, or tightens at the slightest provocation. Its simple, fragrance-free, and alcohol-free formula combines glycerin, shea butter, panthenol, and the active ingredient SymSitive. It’s a basic skincare product designed for sensitive and reactive skin that can no longer tolerate overly rich creams.

Its primary purpose is to make the skin feel more comfortable throughout the day. Applied to dry, tight skin after cleansing, it soothes and reduces feelings of tightness. Its rich cream texture is suitable for skin lacking suppleness, and the treatment restores skin comfort to faces that react poorly to even the slightest change.

The active ingredient SymSitive acts as a sensitivity regulator to reduce skin hyperreactivity. With repeated use, the skin feels pleasant to the touch, and the treatment is designed to provide long-lasting comfort, based on a formula whose excellent tolerance has been evaluated on hypersensitive skin.

It’s ideal for times when dry skin is more reactive: the first cold snaps, dry air from heating, hard water, seasonal changes, or returning from a sunny vacation. It also serves as a daily staple for dry skin that remains sensitive regardless of the season.

Skin comfort begins with cleansing, which is often the cause of that tight, pulling sensation in the morning. For this, we recommend Avène Tolérance Cleansing Lotion: fragrance-free, it removes makeup and cleanses the face without tap water or rubbing, and prepares the skin to receive the soothing treatment.

Precautions

• For external use only.
• Avoid direct contact with the eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Apply to healthy skin: do not use on open wounds, broken or weeping skin, or on an area that has recently undergone a dermatological procedure (such as a peel or laser treatment) without consulting the professional who performed the procedure.
• If you have hypersensitive skin, first test the product on a small area—such as under the jaw—for a few days before applying it to your entire face.
• If tingling persists, or if redness, swelling, or itching occurs after application, discontinue use and rinse the area with clean water.
• Do not use if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients. The vegetable oil in the formula is not specified (“Vegetable Oil”): if you have an allergy to vegetable oils or tree nuts, consult your pharmacist before purchasing.
• Persistent redness, a burning sensation, flaking, or breakouts that occur in episodes should prompt a visit to a doctor or dermatologist: highly reactive skin may be a sign of a skin condition that requires diagnosis.
• This product is not indicated for use in children: for children, consult your pharmacist or doctor.
• Do not store at temperatures above 25°C. Use within 6 months after opening. Keep out of reach of children.

Our Expert Advice on Eucerin UltraSensible Soothing Care

When dealing with dry skin that reacts to everything, the first instinct is often to add yet another product. The opposite approach works best: at the counter, we recommend stripping your routine down to the essentials—a gentle cleanser and this treatment—and setting aside exfoliants, acids, retinol, and fragranced products for the time being. As long as these products remain in the bathroom, it’s impossible to know what’s causing the skin to react.

Then give your skin time: use the products regularly for three to four weeks before judging the results, then reintroduce one product at a time if you wish. If your skin remains uncomfortable despite a simplified routine, adding another cream won’t help: in this case, the consultation—as recommended in the precautions—takes precedence over everything else.

FAQ

Can I apply Eucerin UltraSensitive Soothing Care under my makeup?

Yes. This product works well as a makeup base and is non-comedogenic. Just let it absorb for a few minutes before applying foundation.

Do I need sunscreen with Eucerin UltraSensitive Soothing Care?

Yes. This product does not contain any sunscreen filters. During the day, apply a sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin on top as the final step in your skincare routine.

Should I choose Eucerin UltraSensitive Soothing Care for dry skin or the version for normal to combination skin?

Both products in the line are formulated with the active ingredient SymSitive. The one for dry skin features shea butter among its top ingredients; Eucerin UltraSensitive Soothing Care for Normal to Combination Skin 50ml is designed for hypersensitive skin that isn’t lacking in lipids.

Will Eucerin UltraSensitive Soothing Care leave a greasy finish?

Its texture is that of a cream for dry skin, and some users find it a bit rich upon application. A small amount, gently massaged in, is enough for all areas; using too much product is the most common cause of a shiny finish.
