Our skin is as different as we are, so the answer to that question varies from person to person and depends on many factors both internal (such as our genetics) and external (such as the amount of sun our skin has been exposed to). As a general rule, a loss of volume and firmness − which leads to less defined facial contours and visible changes in facial features − tends to become a concern between the ages of 40 and 50.  If you are in any doubt please read our article on skin at different ages or consult a pharmacist or dermatologist.

Facial skin is more sensitive to UVA/UVB radiation than skin on the rest of the body as it is exposed to sun all year round. UV protection can help you avoid cellular DNA damage, photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun) and hyperpigmentation. It is important to protect facial skin whenever it is exposed to the sun. So our formula has SPF 15 and a UVA filter built-in. 

If you’re looking for additional sun protection, follow your Eucerin day care product with Eucerin Photoaging Control Sun Fluid SPF 50 or SPF 30. The formula includes Eucerin’s Advanced Spectral Technology which combines broadband and photostable UVA/UVB filters¹ for high UV protection with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UV and high-energy visible (HEVIS) light. The sunscreen also includes Glycyrrhetinic Acid which supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism and Hyaluronic Acid to visibly reduce wrinkles.
