Eucerin Oily and blemish prone Skin Dermo PURIFYER Scrub

What it is

• A scrub/exfoliating product designed for oily and blemish-prone skin (face and body) that is not undergoing strong medical acne treatment. 

• Oil-free and formulated to help unclog pores, reduce blackheads, refine skin texture.

• Contains lactic acid + micro (cellulose/silicon) particles for exfoliation. Suitable for use on face and body (e.g., shoulders/back) where blemishes or blackheads occur.

Key Benefits & Features

• Helps unclog pores and reduce blackheads and blemishes via exfoliation of dead skin cells. Refines and smooths skin texture to give a clearer, more even surface. 

• Doesn’t overly dry the skin, despite being a scrub for oily/blemish-prone types. 

• Can be used during pregnancy (as long as you are not on aggressive acne medications) according to some listings. 

Key Ingredients & How They Work

• Lactic Acid: An AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that lightly exfoliates, helps regulate skin pH and shed dead skin cells which contribute to clogged pores. 

• Micro-particles (e.g., microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide): Provide a gentle physical exfoliation to lift dead skin cells and clear debris from pores. 

• Oil-free, non-comedogenic formulation (meaning it is designed not to block pores) so suitable for oily/blemish-prone skin. 

How to Use

• Wet your face (and/or body area you wish to treat). 

• Apply an amount roughly the size of a hazelnut to your hands (or apply as directed). 

• Gently massage onto the skin (face or body) avoiding the eye area. 

• Rinse thoroughly. 

• Follow with your normal skincare routine (e.g., moisturizer, mattifying products). For best results, after the scrub you might follow with a mattifying fluid from the same line. 

• Frequency: The brand recommends once a week in place of cleansing gel, but notes the formula is mild enough for more frequent use if needed.

Who It’s Best For

• Those with oily to very oily skin that is blemish-prone (blackheads, clogged pores, spots).

• People experiencing texture issues, visible pores, or wanting a clearer skin surface.

• Users who are not currently under strong acne medication, because the product is designed for blemish-prone skin not undergoing major acne treatments. People who want a gentle but effective scrub (face or body) to support their clearer-skin routine.

Things to Consider / Precautions

• Even though it’s formulated for oily/blemish-prone skin, if your skin is very sensitive, or you are using strong active acne treatments (e.g., isotretinoin, strong retinoids, benzoyl peroxide), you should consult a dermatologist before use. The brand itself says it may not be recommended alongside certain treatments. 

• Scrubs by nature involve physical exfoliation — while the particles are micro and gentle, any physical exfoliant has some risk of irritation if over-used or used on damaged/compromised skin.

• Always avoid the eye area and broken skin.

• As exfoliation increases sensitivity, use sun-protection (SPF) daily, especially in morning routines.

• While many users report good tolerance, some may still experience dryness or tightness — patch testing is wise. For example in user-forums someone noted dryness when using the product frequently. > “It’s ok, but I find it to drying for every day use. 2-3 times per week max…” 

• Ensure you follow with an appropriate moisturizer or barrier-support product — just because your skin is oily doesn’t mean it doesn’t need hydration and barrier care.

My Overall Impression

This is a solid exfoliating scrub option for oily and blemish-prone skin that wants to address pores, blackheads and texture without using very harsh acids or overly drying formulas. The fact that it is oil-free and non-comedogenic makes it appealing for this skin type. The use of lactic acid + micro-particles provides both chemical and physical exfoliation, and the brand backing (Eucerin) means it’s positioned as a dermocosmetic rather than purely cosmetic scrub.

However, it’s not a cure-all — if you have severe acne, active breakouts needing medical treatment, or very delicate compromised skin barrier, you’d likely need a stronger targeted treatment under a dermatologist’s guidance. Also, if your routine already includes multiple exfoliating steps (strong acids, retinoids, physical exfoliants), you’d need to ensure you’re not over-exfoliating by adding this on top.
