I have been a fan of Eucerin for years and one of my favourite cleansers is their DermatoCLEAN Cleansing Gel. You can see the review I posted in 2013 HERE. I also love the Eucerin DermoPURIFYER Toner (review HERE) which works like a charm during the warmer months when my skin tends to be quite oily. I’ve often thought of trying the DermoPURIFYER cleanser but I was worried that it might be too drying as it is formulated for acne prone skin. Well, I tried it. And here are my thoughts.

Eucerin DermoPURIFYER Cleanser Review

What they say:

The soap-free and fragrance-free formula provides gentle and effective cleaning for blemish-prone skin. The non-comedogenic properties ensure pores aren’t clogged and the skin is rid of bacteria. Best of all, the cleansing gel won’t leave skin feeling dry or tight like many other acne cleansers on the market.

The highly effective Eucerin® DermoPURIFYER range is proven to combat all four key factors of acne prone skin at the source, where the formation of acne begins: Formation of whiteheads; blackheads; excess sebum and abnormal growth of bacteria and inflammation.

The combination of active ingredients in Eucerin® DermoPURIFYER work to improve blemished skin and heal acne. Clinical studies have shown that after four to 12 weeks of consistent use skin starts to show a visible improvement. The formula contains:

Lactic Acid, a natural moisturising factor, with anti-bacterial effects. It is also keratolytic and comedolytic, which means it softens keratin, thereby improving the skin’s moisture binding capacity, and breaks down comedones or blackheads. And it helps to balance the skin’s pH. Unlike salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, however, both common ingredients in acne preparations, it does not dry out the skin.

Ampho-Tensides, are gentle yet effective cleansing molecules that work to eliminate excess sebum, dirt and make-up. The Eucerin DermoPURIFYER Cleanser is therefore a soap-free formulation. With 6% Ampho-Tensides it foams as it cleanses resulting in pure, clear skin.

This cleanser is AWESOME. Full stop. I really thought that my face would feel stripped and taught after use, but that is not the case at all. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and clean. It foams beautifully which I love (my mind tells me my skins isn’t clean if the face wash doesn’t foam; even though I know that’s not true). It also does a wonderful job at removing make up.

Best part… the price. The cleanser retails for R139.99 for 200ml BUT it also comes in a massive 400ml bottle that retails for only R229.99! What a bargain.

The new DermoPURIFYER Cleanser 400ml value pack will last you for ages and it is perfect for daily care if you suffer from skin problems on the back, neck and chest areas. Where was this bottle when I was a teenager?!

The Eucerin DermoPURIFYER range is available from Clicks, Dis-Chem and selected pharmacies nationwide.

Well done Eucerin.

I recently told you about my extreme hair loss and how it has impacted my self-esteem. It’s been quite devastating to be honest. You are welcome to have a read HERE. I also shared my plans for getting my crowning glory back to what it was 5 months ago. The response to my post was quite overwhelming. I received so many comments and messages of support, and I want to thank you for making sharing my story a little easier. I also received many (many!) message from women going through the same thing. I promise you, if I find products that work, you will be the first to know! There are reviews coming your way soon. A few ladies suggested that I try Trichotin Hair Regenesis. I also read THIS post by the lovely Chereen and her results made me want to try it even more.

Trichotin Hair Regenesis

Trichotin Hair Regenesis is a supplement that aims to correct the underlying cause of hair loss and to improve follicle health and activity by supplying your body with the essential nutrients it needs for healthier hair. It also supplies essential nutrients for healthier skin. In short, Trichotin Hair Regenesis reduces hair loss, stimulates stronger, healthier hair growth and improves skin clarity. Plus I’ve read that it does wonders for weak nails as well.

The kind people at Fusion Laboratories made me an offer I couldn’t refuse and I will be trying these amazing supplements over the next 3 months. I can’t explain to you how excited I am about this product. All the reviews and testimonials I’ve read have been extremely positive and I am praying that these little green caplets can do the same for me.

You’re probably thinking why is Trichotin any different to other skin, hair and nail supplements? And why will someone pay R385 for a month’s supply when there are so many cheaper supplements out there?

Well, have a read:

“The Trichotin DHT Inhibitor and Trichotin Hair Regenesis products have been tested over several years, by the International Hair Loss Institute (IHLI). The results were discussed at the latest congress of the International Hair Loss Institute held in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Trichotin DHT Inhibitor and Trichotin Regenesis was unanimously endorsed by all the members of the IHLI and will henceforth be recommended in the members clinics for the treatment of alopecia.”

Key Ingredients

Saw Palmetto, Oat Straw, Pygeum and Nettle are effective ingredients for minimising hair loss.
An exclusive blend of Pyrodoxine, Kelp, Inositol and select amino acids form the primary ingredients required to stimulate hair follicles and initiate the process of growth and rejuvenation. Kelp, in particular, accelerates growth since it contains auxins and cytokinins. These ingredients are more accurately referred to as growth regulators since they also play an important role in cell metabolism and development.
Cysteine, Zepufa, Sarsaparilla, Thiamine and Biotin are top-end protein builders which improve the quality of hair and skin by supporting cell construction and cellular repair.
Vitamin A, Silica, Choline and Folic Acid prevent keratinisation of the hair follicles and maintain consistent growth.

Mode of Action
Trichotin’s high-tech absorption and delivery system stimulates circulation and oxygen delivery to the skin and scalp via increased capillary perfusion – thus amplifying delivery and increasing availability of essential nutrients and vital oxygen. This process results in regeneration of damaged hair follicles and skin cells.

Anti-Ageing Properties
The combination of vitamins, minerals and Nettle Root Extract work in synergy with Glycine to encourage the growth of protein chains in collagen, while facilitating the removal of skin toxins. This stimulation and detoxification process, combined with the proven benefits of Co-Enzyme Q10, enhance aerobic cellular respiration, minimising the ageing process. The result: a clearer, more radiant skin.

Sounds amazing doesn’t it?

Well, the proof will be in the pudding as they say. And let’s hope the pudding will be thicker, longer, healthier hair. And no more hair loss! I will share my results with you after my 3 month trial. Wish me luck!
