News of this new anti-pigment body cream from Eucerin stirred a sense of excitement I hadn’t felt in a while.
Taking care of my body’s skin has always been a priority, yet finding a cream that ticks all the boxes – smoothing, aromatic, and seamlessly integrated into my routine – has proven elusive. With patches of stubborn chicken skin and areas where my skin tone has shifted, especially on my knees, I felt like this cream was tailored just for me.
But does it live up to the promise? Let me share my initial impressions and what I’ve uncovered about its efficacy, leaving the final judgment to you.
Will It Work For Me?
This body cream was made for people noticing dark spots, uneven skin tone, or discolouration on their body, particularly on knees, elbows, and arms and those with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne, insect bites, or other injuries.
If that sounds like you and you don’t have severely sensitive skin, the anti-pigmentation body cream will work for you.
Eucerin say:
A clinically-tested body cream that effectively reduces the appearance of dark spots and gently exfoliates thickened skin on friction areas such as knees, elbows, and small areas of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Thiamidol effectively reduces dark spots and brightens skin tone. Lactic Acid and Dexpanthenol gently exfoliate and regenerate the skin, and Hyaluronic Acid provides long lasting hydration to the skin.
Why It Works:
One of our best-sellers on-site is Eucerin’s Anti Pigment Serum; it’s clinically and dermatologically proven to have visibly reduce the signs of pigmentation due to Eucerin’s tech: Thiamidol – which you won’t get in any other brand of anti-pigmentation skincare. What makes it so effective is that it targets the root cause of hyperpigmentation (inhibitor of human tyrosinase, the enzyme that contributes to skin hyperpigmentation), and the fact it’s packed in this body moisturiser makes this unique.
My First Impressions?
Scientific meets sensorial. This brightening and smoothing body cream keeps your skin soft and even-toned, helping to fade dark spots on areas like knees and arms prone to hyperpigmentation. While it works all over the body, it doesn’t provide sun protection, so SPF is still crucial.
First impressions were positive. The surprisingly light yet nourishing texture left my skin feeling smooth and hydrated all day without any greasiness. The pleasant, delicate floral scent was an unexpected delight, reminding me that even performance-focused products can be sensorially enjoyable.
If it weren’t for the pharmaceutical-style packaging, I could imagine this as a luxurious moisturiser. But don’t be fooled – the key ingredients inside, like Thiamidol, deliver real results.
I first noticed the softness of my skin improve, especially on the tops of my thighs; within 24 hours, I had to do a double take as the difference in texture was impressive in just 24 hours.
How Do You Use It?
It’s not how you expect to use it. Firstly, you need to use it only on pigmentated areas that you’d like to smooth, brighten or fade.
Then, it’s best to apply it twice daily, such as in the morning and before bed, to see the best results. Don’t apply it more than twice a day.
What Does It Feel Like?
I would say the texture is a cream-lotion; it’s not overly rich, but it feels quenching. As you work it in, it starts cold on the skin but warms up quickly. It does leave a moisturised veil on the skin, but it won’t interfere with clothes or slow you down getting dressed.
One of my favourite things about how it feels is the results the day after dolphin skin.
Helpful hint: I don’t recommend using it after shaving. However, I did test it, and I didn’t feel any stinging or discomfort, which was a real shock, too.
What Does It Smell Like?
It has a faint, plain, floral smell that disappears quickly; it doesn’t linger. It’s not overpowering, and for those that have smelt the anti-pigment range for the face, it’s the same aroma but nowhere near as strong. There’s nothing not to dislike.
My Overall Experience:
I’m impressed and excited to see what’s to come. In 24 hours, I saw a dramatic improvement in the softness of my skin due to the exfoliation benefits. It also helped fade fake tan more evenly, which was a bonus.
Over time, my chicken skin has dramatically improved. My knees are pretty dark but becoming smoother and more even, so I’m excited to post my final results soon!
