This post is also available in: Croatian The Eucerin Even Brighter skincare range is aimed at preventing the appearance of hyperpigmentation on the skin. The range includes a day cream, night cream and concentrate for reducing dark spots. This review applies to the first two products in the range. According to the information available on eucerin.com, hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin (the naturally produced pigment which gives our skin, hair and eyes their colour) is overproduced in certain spots on the skin. The main cause of hyperpigmentation is sun exposure since it prompts the production of melanin as the skin’s natural way of protecting itself. Excessive sun exposure can disturb this process and cause hyperpigmentation in the form of pigmentation spots (lentigo solaris) and freckles (ephelides). Hyperpigmentation may also appear as the result of hormonal changes (common occurrence among pregnant women – mask of pregnancy), it may be a sign of certain illnesses, vitamin deficiency and ageing (age spots). There is also post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which occurs after a skin injury or trauma has healed and leaves a flat area of discoloration behind. From all the above types of hyperpigmentation I have freckles which begin to appear with the first rays of sun in the spring and in a few places some slight discolorations left behind after inflamed pimples (or rather after picking on them). So to use the right terminology, I have ephelides and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The active ingredient in the Eucerin Even Brighter range is 4-butil-resorcinol or b-resorcinol which supposedly reduces melanin production and in that way visibly reduces dark spots and brightens and evens out skin tone already after four weeks of use. Both the Day Cream and the Night Cream come in identical packaging (jars with screw on lids), containing 50 ml of product. The jars themselves are very solid (although they are a bit big and clumsy if you’re travelling somewhere and taking them with you in your makeup bag). I would personally prefer it if they had packaged them in tubes, especially the day cream which contains SPF, not only for hygienic reasons, but also to better preserve the effectiveness of the active ingredients. DAY CREAM INGREDIENTS: Aqua, Homosalate, Octocrylene, Glycerin, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Glyceryl Glucoside, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Lauroyl Lysine, 4-Butylresorcinol, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Carbomer, Trisodium EDTA, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylisothiazolinone, Parfum The Day Cream contains an SPF 30 and UV protection. It’s white and non-greasy, it has a slight scent to it and absorbs into the skin quickly. It claims to be suitable for all skin types. I used the cream every day, as a base for my pressed powder/blusher. I noticed that it does leave the face a bit sticky making it a bit harder to apply your powder evenly and blend your powder nicely, but I suppose that must be due to the SPF. With this cream my skin didn’t get any greasier than usual during the day. Actually, I wouldn’t have minded if it had been a bit more hydrating. After a few hours of wear I would start feeling as if my face was lacking moisture. NIGHT CREAM INGREDIENTS: Aqua, Octocrylene, Glycerin, Isopropyl Palmitate, Glyceryl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Dimethicone, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cyclomethicone, Lauroyl Lysine, Panthenol, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, 4-Butylresorcinol, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Sodium Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Trisodium EDTA, Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate, BHT, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum. The Night Cream is also neither heavy nor greasy. I wish it had been a bit richer. It just didn’t provide enough moisture for my dry skin and some mornings my skin would feel tight as if I hadn’t applied a night cream at all. I know the primary purpose of these creams is something else and that I could’ve gotten extra moisture by using a serum, but I still think they could have taken the time to make two versions, one suitable for normal/dry and the other for combination/oily skin. And now for the big question: did these creams help my hyperpigmentation? Did they make my complexion more even and brighter? In short, no, not really. I started using the creams in late spring thinking that they would be good for spring/summer, especially since the day cream has an SPF 30 so I thought it would also be good as sun protection while about town. My skin is prone to freckles even after short periods of sun exposure. I certainly didn’t expect that they wouldn’t appear if I used this cream, but if I take into account what it claims to do, I did think there might be a bit less of them. To tell you the truth I didn’t notice and difference, with or without it. I also monitored whether there would be any brightening effect on the few reddish discolorations left on my skin after pimples, but I didn’t see any significant improvement there either. I’ve noticed in general that as I get older my skin’s ability to regenerate after picking on pimples is decreasing (sad but true :() so I thought these two creams in combination might help the situation a little. I was pretty disappointed. I also didn’t notice much difference in the overall evenness of my skin tone. Another thing I must mention is that when I started using these creams my skin did get red more than usual, but I can’t be sure that this was caused by the creams. It was allergy season and my allergies can sometimes manifest themselves as redness of the skin, and my skin might be a bit more sensitive to trying out new products. On the Eucerin website it is advised that you do not use these creams if you are allergic to its active ingredient b-resorcinol, but if truth be told how would you even know if you were allergic to it beforehand, it’s not like it’s a common allergen?! In any case, if you have sensitive skin, I advise caution. I’m writing this review after I’ve used up both jars, meaning I’ve given them ample chance, for longer than the alleged four weeks after which the first results could be expected, but unfortunately I didn’t get any results. I wonder if I have maybe made a mistake as to the time of year when I started using them and should have instead started in the fall after the end of my summer vacation, but if Eucerin recommends constant use of these two products for a brighter, more radiant and even skin tone all year round, then some results should have been visible after all. Have you tried the Eucerin Even Brighter range? And do you have problems with hyperpigmentation?

This post is also available in: English Eucerin Even Brighter linija namijenjena je sprečavanju nastanka hiperpigmentacije na koži. Linija se sastoji od dnevne kreme, noćne kreme i koncentrata za ublažavanje hiperpigmentacijskih mrlja, a ova se recenzija odnosi na prva dva proizvoda. Prema informacijama dostupnima na eucerin.com.hr hiperpigmentacija nastaje zbog prekomjerne proizvodnje melanina (pigmenta koji našoj koži, kosi i očima daje prirodnu boju) u određenim dijelovima kože. Glavni uzrok pojave hiperpigmentacije je izlaganje suncu jer ono potiče proizvodnju melanina kao prirodne zaštite kože. Prekomjerno izlaganje suncu može poremetiti ovaj proces i uzrokovati hiperpigmentaciju u obliku pigmentacijskih mrlja (lentigo solaris) i pjegica (ephelides). Hiperpigmentacija se može pojaviti i kao rezultat drugih čimbenika poput hormonalnih promjena (česta pojava među trudnicama tzv. maska trudnoće), zatim može pratiti pojavu određenih bolesti, nedostatak vitamina, a mogu biti i popratna pojava starenja (tzv. staračke pjege). Postoji i post-upalna hiperpigmentacija koja nastaje nakon ozljeda kože, upala, posjekotina, opeklina, akni i sl. Od svih navedenih vrsta hiperpigmentacije imam pjegice koje se lagano počnu pojavljivati s prvim proljetnim zrakama sunca te na par mjesta mrlje nešto tamnije od ostatka kože, preostale nakon bubuljica (odnosno kopanja po istima). Dakle, da upotrijebimo stručnu terminologiju, ephelides i post-upalnu hiperpigmentaciju. Aktivni sastojak u Eucerin Even Brighter liniji je 4-butil-rezorcinol ili b-rezorcinol koji navodno smanjuje proizvodnju melanina te na taj način vidljivo smanjuje hiperpigmentaciju i ujednačava ten već nakon četiri tjedna korištenja. Dnevna i noćna krema dolaze u identičnoj ambalaži (teglicama s poklopcem) koje sadrže 50 ml proizvoda. Cijena dnevne kreme je oko 210 kn, a cijena noćne oko 220 kn. Same teglice su vrlo solidne i čvrste (iako su pomalo velike i nezgrapne ako ih nosite sa sobom na put), a osobno bih preferirala da su ih stavili u tubice, pogotovo dnevnu kremu koja sadrži zaštitni faktor, što iz higijenskih razloga, što iz razloga očuvanja djelotvornosti aktivnih sastojaka. SASTOJCI DNEVNE KREME: Aqua, Homosalate, Octocrylene, Glycerin, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Glyceryl Glucoside, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Lauroyl Lysine, 4-Butylresorcinol, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Carbomer, Trisodium EDTA, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylisothiazolinone, Parfum Dnevna krema sadrži SPF 30 i UV zaštitu. Bijele je boje i nemasne teksture, blagog mirisa i brzo se upija. Na njoj stoji da je pogodna za sve tipove kože. Kremu sam koristila za svakodnevnu upotrebu, dakle kao podlogu za puder u kamenu/rumenilo. Primijetila sam da od nje lice ostaje pomalo ljepljivo, puder se zna nakupljati i malo je teže izblendati rumenilo, ali pretpostavljam da je to zbog SPF-a. Koža mi se nije ništa više mastila od ove kreme tijekom dana, ja bih čak voljela da je i još malo bogatija. Nakon par sati nošenja počela bih osjećati kao da mi na licu nedostaje vlage. SASTOJCI NOĆNE KREME: Aqua, Octocrylene, Glycerin, Isopropyl Palmitate, Glyceryl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Dimethicone, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cyclomethicone, Lauroyl Lysine, Panthenol, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, 4-Butylresorcinol, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Sodium Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Trisodium EDTA, Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate, BHT, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum. Noćna krema također nije ni teška ni masna. I za nju bih voljela da je bogatija i hranjivija. Mojoj suhoj koži nije pružala dovoljno hidratacije i ujutro bi me ponekad zatezala kao da uopće nisam ni nanijela noćnu kremu. Dopuštam da je prvenstvena namjena ovih krema nešto drugo i da sam dodatnu hidrataciju mogla postići i nekim serumom, ali držim da su ipak mogli napraviti verzije prilagođene suhoj/normalnoj i masnoj/mješovitoj koži. Kod mene minus. A sad slijedi glavno pitanje: jesu li mi ove kreme pomogle s hiperpigmentacijom? Jeli mi s njihovim korištenjem ten postao ujednačeniji i svjetliji? Ukratko, ne, pa i nije baš. Kreme sam počela koristiti u kasno proljeće i mislila sam da bi bile dobre za sezonu proljeće/ljeto, pogotovo stoga što dnevna krema sadrži SPF 30 pa sam mislila da bi istovremeno bila i dobra zaštita od sunca. Moja koža je sklona pojavi pjegica čak i nakon kratkotrajnog izlaganja suncu. Nisam očekivala da se one neće pojavljivati s ovom kremom, ali s obzirom na njeno opisano djelovanje, mislila sam da će ih možda biti manje. Iskreno, nisam primijetila nikakvu razliku, sa ovom kremom ili bez nje. Dalje, pratila sam da li će biti kakvog učinka posvjetljivanja na par crvenkastih flekica koje su mi zaostale na licu nakon bubuljica, ali ni tu nisam vidjela neki značajniji pomak. Inače sam primijetila da mi se s godinama sposobnost obnavljanja kože nakon prčkanja po licu smanjuje i usporava (da, da, nažalost :() pa sam mislila da bi ove dvije kreme u kombinaciji mogle malo pripomoći situaciji. Ostala sam razočarana. Također nisam primijetila neku značajniju promjenu u sveukupnoj ujednačenosti tena. Moram još napomenuti da mi se na samom početku korištenja ovih krema koža lica znala više crveniti nego inače, ali to ne mogu sa sigurnošću pripisati ovim kremama. Istovremeno je bila i sezona alergija koje mi se znaju ponekad manifestirati crvenilom kože, a očito možda imam i osjetljiviju kožu nego što sam mislila, koja je nenaviknuta na mijenjanje i isprobavanje proizvoda. Na samim Eucerinovim stranicama se savjetuje da ne koristite ovu kremu ako ste alergični na njezin glavni aktivni sastojak b-rezorcinol, ali iskreno rečeno ne znam kako bi ikome taj podatak mogao biti unaprijed poznat prije isprobavanja same kreme jer nije baš da se radi o nekom svakodnevnom alergenu. U svakom slučaju, osobama s osjetljivom kožom savjetujem oprez. Ovu recenziju pišem nakon potrošene obje teglice kreme. Dala sam im šansu i preko navedenih 4 tjedna nakon kojih bi trebali moći očekivati prve rezultate, ali oni su nažalost kod mene izostali. Pitam se da li sam možda pogriješila s razdobljem korištenja i trebala započeti s njima na jesen nakon ljetovanja i najjačeg izlaganja suncu, ali ako Eucerin preporučuje neprekidno korištenje ova dva proizvoda za svjetliji, blistaviji i ujednačeniji ten tijekom cijele godine, neki rezultati su valjda ipak trebali biti vidljivi. Jeste li isprobali Eucerin Even Brighter liniju? I da li i vi imate problema s hiperpigmentacijom?
