Prevention is always better than cure. This is why I choose to start my anti-aging skincare regime while I’m in my twenties! While other consumers my age are exploring options like fillers and botox injections, I’m constantly on the lookout for skincare products that work just as well in giving me smooth and radiant skin.
As I age, I find my skin getting thirstier despite applying skincare every day and night. I even tried masking frequently to see if it helps with the dehydration and dull complexion. While I do see improvements in my complexion, I have no idea which are the products that actually work well for me.
Recently, I was introduced to Eucerin®’s new product, Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment. This product is a non-invasive overnight treatment that is inspired by well-known dermatological treatments. It helps to fill your wrinkles without injections & give you a radiant look. I have been using it every night ever since I got my hands on them.
Along with the new addition are some products in the same Hyaluron-Filler range, which have already been launched.
Packaging and first impressions
I thought that the packaging for the Overnight Treatment was very interesting, as there are two different emulsions that are packed separately in the bottle itself. I guessed these 2 separate formulas could mean that the product served 2 different functions? I did some quick research on my own, and I was right! The Overnight Treatment is a dual efficacy anti-aging skin care product, gently exfoliating and removing dead skin cells for a radiant look while hydrating and plumping up the skin. The formulas are optimally preserved in different chambers to keep them fresh and effective.
Formulation and Usage
The product contains two ingredients, AHA and Hyaluronic acid, which are popular ingredients inspired by dermatological treatments that are known to be effective for cell renewal and wrinkle filling.
On the left (white): A creamy emulsion of AHA Complex & Saponin that exfoliates dead skin cells and stimulates skin cell renewal to bring back your face’s natural radiance.
On the right (silver): A gel serum of Long and Short Chain Hyaluronic Acid to keep skin moisturized and hydrated. I looked it up and the Short Chain Hyaluronic Acid is actually 40x smaller which allows deeper penetration into the skin to plump up the deepest wrinkles.
You can see two different formulas when you pump the product out. I was expecting the texture to be a little on the heavy side since it is an anti-aging product but it was all good. It felt lightweight on the skin, and there was no greasy feel after you apply it onto your face – creating a perfect base to layer on my night moisturisers. For better absorption, I chose to massage it onto my face for at least 30 seconds for better penetration.
What I like most about the Overnight Treatment is that the Hyaluronic Acid in the serum not only moisturizes your skin but it also helps to plump up your deepest wrinkles while you sleep! I am more concerned about my smile lines so I tend to rub a little longer at those areas. Do note that since this product contains AHA ingredients, it should only be used at night to avoid pigmentation issue. In addition to the Overnight Treatment, I’ve also been trying out the other products in the Hyaluron-Filler range.
I have previously finished 6 tubes of Hyaluron-Filler Concentrate and they worked really well for me. The intensive serum not only helps to visibly reduce wrinkles, but also results in my face feeling a lot smoother as well.
What I have recently started on are the Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Eye Treatment and Day and Night Cream. I wouldn’t say that I have wrinkles around the eye area now but I am applying them with hopes that they don’t appear soon.
The Eye Treatment can be used in the day after your day moisturizer, and it is fortified with SPF15 and UVA protection too.
Overall Thoughts
Having found out that Eucerin is a dermatological brand that has been around in the market for more than 130 years, I’m sure to put my trust in this brand. I have started incorporating several of its products into my night time skincare regime, and after using them over the past few weeks, I can definitely see the results so far.
As mentioned, I’m very concerned about my smile lines but with the daily usage of the Overnight Treatment coupled with the other products in the range, my smile lines were visibly reduced. My foundation does not cake around the line areas and I can laugh to my heart’s content without worrying about the smile lines anymore. It is indeed a non-invasive alternative that can achieve the same results of combatting lines and wrinkles, while keeping my skin radiant and moisturized.
The new Eucerin® Hyaluron-Filler Overnight Treatment is available from November 2018 at selected Guardian, and Watsons stores.

Eucerin Skincare Series
Eucerin has generously sent a set of 5 products over! *throws confetti*
Eucerin is actually my boyfriend’s favourite facial brand! Yes yes no joke!
Therefore, I am not new to this product because I have been using it quite frequently myself even before they sent these over.
The DermoPURIFYER range fights all 4 factors of acne!
– Cornification at the opening of the sebaceous-gland follicle (called hyperkeratosis)
– Excess sebum production (seborrhoea),
– Proliferation of acne bacteria (Proionibacterium acnes);
– Resulting in inflammation.
Not every person suffering from acne has the same skin needs. And that’s why there is not only one product to solve the problem for everyone.
However, this series contains the essential active ingredients to tackle the problems.
– Lactic acid has a keratolytic and comedolytic action, i.e. it is able to dissolve thickened epidermal cells caused by acne, as well as comedones. It thereby addresses the first factor of blemished skin and promotes an improved flow of sebum.
– L-carnitine regulates the production of sebum by promoting the uptake of fatty acids in the mitochondria, converting them into energy. Thus, the fatty acids can no longer be converted into sebum, and the amount of sebum is substantially reduced.
– Decandiol is known for its excellent antimicrobial properties, especially against Propionibacterium acnes: the proliferation rate of the acne bacterium is markedly reduced, as early as 24 hours after using decandiol.
– Licochalcone A, has a skin soothing and antibacterial effect and protects the skin cells against environmental stress by neutralizing UV-induced free radicals.
Let me show you the products.
1. DermoPURIFYER scrub ($18.60 for 100ml)
Because I have dry skin, I only use this scrub once every 3-4 days to unclog my pores.
Females like me make up almost everyday so we would need some cleansing beads to clear the dirts off our face every now and then. It doesn’t leave your skin too dry after each scrub, so no worries!
2. DermoPURIFYER cleanser ($21.20 for 200ml)
Just like the scrub above, despite being a product to fight acne, you do not have to worry about your skin being too dry after washing your face with this cleanser. In fact, I feel that my skin feels smoother after the wash.
Sometimes I skip the moisturizer step after using this.
As you can see from the picture below, the cleanser is almost liquid and clear.
3. DermoPURIFYER Active concentrate ($29.90 for 30ml)
This is to be applied after the toner! It is an oil free serum so you do not have to worry that it gets too oily. And it doesn’t feel sticky and greasy after the application at all.
PSST: The absorbption is rather quick too.
4. DermatoCLEAN waterproof eye make up remover (Price Unknown)
It is pretty hard to wash off the stubborn mascara and eyeliners so I always try not to spam too much of them on my eye.
But this eye makeup remover makes everything easier. I can remove everything in less than 15 seconds of rubbing with either cotton balls/pads.
5. DermatoCLEAN 3 in 1 cleansing fluid ($27.90 for 200ml)
This fresh, ultra light cleansing fluid act as a cleanser, toner and make up remover all in one step. Micellar cleansers which are liquid cleansers are used without water.
Apply a little bit on a cotton pad, wipe your skin down with the moistened pad, and that´s it! It removes make-up and impurities, tones and moisturizes, allowing the skin to breathe better and leaves your skin feeling soft, supple and comfortable.
