Kako još uvek nisam otkrila HG proizvod za čišćenje lica, manje više sam posle svake potrošene tube isprobavala nove gelove i pene. Sa agresivnijih za masnu i problematičnu kožu sam polako prelazila na blaže i pogodnije za osetljivu kožu jer mi se koža počela sušiti, zatezati i crveniti. Pošto ne koristim maramice za skidanje šminke (puni su alkohola i veliki su no-no), potrebno mi je sredstvo koje može temeljno da skine šminku i prljavštinu s lica a opet da je dovoljno blago, da ne isušuje i da ne izaziva iritacije.

Since I'm yet to discover my HG face cleanser, I've always been buying new kinds. From the more aggressive for oily skin and acne prone, it slowly changed to the one's more suited for sensitive skin because mine became dry, tight and irritated. Because I don't use cleansing wipes (they're full of alcohol and a big no-no), I needed a cleanser that can thoroughly clean my face from makeup and dirt but still be gentle, that it doesn't dry my skin and it doesn't cause irritations.


Ovo je moj prvi susret sa Eucerinom. Nikada do sada nisam previše pažnje posvećivala apotekarskoj kozmetici jer sam smatrala da je previše skupa, ali kako me zainteresovala njihova linija DermoPurifyer za problematičnu kožu (uskoro recenzija), odlučila sam da iskoristim super promociju na apotekasrbotrade.rs i tako dobila ovaj gel na poklon.

This is my first encounter with Eucerin. I've never before given much notice to pharmacy brands because I considered them expensive, but I got interested in their DermoPurifyer line for problematic skin (review coming soon) and I decided to take advantage of a Eucerin promotion and got this gel as a gift.


Gel dolazi u mekoj plastičnoj tubi od 200 ml i rok trajanja mu je 12 meseci od otvaranja. Gornji deo tube služi za doziranje i napravljen je od tvrde plastike.

Šta proizvođač kaže:

Za normalnu i kombinovanu kožu. Temeljno čisti i efikasno otklanja šminku. Omogućava da koža bolje diše. Bez parabena, alkohola, boja i parfema. Testirano na osetljivoj koži. Sadrži veoma efikasan ali blag kompleks supstanci koje omogućavaju temeljno čišćenje kože i efikasno skidanje šminke.

Upravo što mi treba! :)

A sastojci su takođe veoma impresivni - klik klik. Sve zeleno do zelenog! :)
Aktivni sastojci: APG kompleks, Gliko-glicerol i Hijaluronska kiselina.

APG kompleks (Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer) - efikasan i veoma blag kompleks za čišćenje. `G` je skraćeno za glukozid, koji je prirodno dobijen surfaktant. Surfaktanti su aktivni sastojci u sredstvima za čišćenje koji im omogućuju da se koža čisti rastvaranjem i uklanjanjem nečistoća.
Gliko-glicerol (Glyceryl Glucoside) - identična kombinacija glicerola i glukoze kao u prirodi. Gliko-glicerol, koga plavo-zelene alge koriste već 3,5 mlijardi godina za preživljavanje, dokazano stimuliše stvaranje akvaporina 3 (AQP3) u ćelijama humane kože, te tako povećava broj akvaporina. Akvaporini kontrolišu prenos vode u i iz ćelija. Što je više AQP3, bolje je distribucija vode unutar dubljih slojeva kože.  Stimulišući distribuciju vode u samoj koži, gliko-glicerol pomaže hidrataciju koži kao i jačanje njene barijerne funkcije.
Hijaluronska kiselina (Sodium Hyaluronate) - upstanca koja se stvara unutar organizma i čini deo vezivnog tkiva kože. Jedna od njenih osnovnih funkcija je da održava vlažnost u koži vezujući vodu za sebe. Ima sposobnost da 30 puta poveća svoju molekulsku masu u vodi. Kako starimo, prirodna sposobnost kože da proizvodi hijaluronsku kiselinu opada i bore počinju da se formiraju i produbljuju.

The gel comes in a soft plastic tube of 200 ml and it's good for 12 months after opening. The top part is for dosage and it's made from hard plastic.

What the manufacturer says:

For normal and combination skin. Cleanses thoroughly and efficiently removes makeup. It enables the skin to breathe better. Without parabens, alcohol, color and perfume. Tested on sensitive skin. Contains a very efficient but gentle complex of substances which enable deep cleansing of the skin and removing makeup.

Just what I need! :)

The ingredients are also very impressing - click here. It's all green! :)
Active ingredients: APG Complex, Gluco-glycerol, and Hyaluronic acid.

APG Complex (Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer) - an effective yet extra mild cleansing complex. The `G` stands for Glucoside, which is a nature-derived surfactant. Surfactants are the active ingredients in cleansers that enable them to clean the skin by dissolving and removing impurities.
Gluco-glycerol (Glyceryl Glucoside) - a nature-identical combination of glycerol and glucose. Used by blue-green algae to ensure their survival for 3.5 billion years, Gluco-glycerol has been proven to stimulate the creation of Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) in human skin cells, thus increasing the number of aquaporins. Aquaporins control water transfer into and out of the cells. The more AQP3’s there are, the better the distribution of moisture within the deeper layers of skin. By supporting skin’s own water system, Gluco-glycerol helps to moisture skin and improve its barrier function.
Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)  - a substance created within the body that forms part of the connective tissue of the skin. One of its key functions is to retain moisture and it has the ability to bind up to 30 times its own molecular weight in water. As we age, the skin's natural ability to produce Hyaluronic Acid depletes and wrinkles start to form and deepen.


Gel je providne boje i blagog neutralnog mirisa. Peni se srednje jako, sasvim dovoljno. Najveće zadovoljstvo mi pruža kada penu malo duže masiram u lice pa postane fina kremasta, prava uživancija! Nikad dosta :)

Alverde Aqua Peeling Perle je bio moj omiljeni piling za lice, i nakon godinu dana(!) korišćenja, tubica se ispraznila i na redu je došlo obnavljanje kupovine. Na moje iznenađenje, piling sa perlama je povučen iz prodaje i njega je zamenio naizgled isti, ali po sastavu nešto drugačiji piling sa morskim algama.

Alverde Aqua Peeling Perle was my favorite face scrub, and after a year(!), the tube is emptied and it was time to renew my purchase. On my surprise, the scrub with pearls was withdrawn and it was replaced by a seemingly same scrub, but with a little different ingredients - with seaweed.

Na tubi piše:

Za normalnu i mešovitu kožu. Receptura braon i zelenih algi, minerala iz morske vode posebno hidrira kožu. Biljni glicerin štiti od isušivanja. Sitne kuglice čiste kožu od nečistoća i odumrlih ćelija. Sertifikovana prirodna kozmetika. Bez sintetičkih boja, mirisa, konzervansa. Bez sastojka na bazi mineralnih ulja. Sirovina iz kontrolisanog biološkog uzgoja. Dermatološki ispitano. Pogodno za vegane i vegeterijance.

Sastojci pilinga sa perlama možete pogledati ovde, a za piling s morskim algama ovde.

Velike razlike između ova dva pilinga skoro da i nema. Jedina razlika je u sastojcima - hidrolizovane perle su izbačene i umesto njih dodata morska voda, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract (ekstrakt algi) i hidrolizovan algin a izbačeni Limonene, Geraniol, Linalool koji daju miris.
Hidrolizovan algin ima visoku ocenu za prouzrokovanje akni i iritacija. Zanimljiva je stvar što istraživanjem po internetu nisam mogla naći ništa što ovo podupire. Svrstavaju ga kao bezbedan sastojak. Verovatno postoje slučajevi kada je iritirajuć za kožu, ali pošto je u pitanju piling koji se posle minut ispere, mislim da je sasvim bezbedan za upotrebu, naravno, ako vas inače ne iritiraju pilinzi.

On the tube it says:

For normal and combination skin. The formula from brown and green algae, and minerals from sea water especially hydrates the skin. Vegetable glycerin protects from dryness. Small beads clean the skin and remove dead skin cells. Certified natural cosmetics. Without synthetic color, smell and conservatives. Without ingredients based on mineral oils. Raw materials from controlled biological cultivation. Terminologically tested. Suited for vegans and vegetarians.

The ingredients of the pearls scrub are available here, and for the seaweed one here.

There are no big differences between the two. The only difference is in the ingredients - Hydrolyzed Perls are no longer there and their place is now taken by sea water,  Chlorella Vulgaris Extract (algae extract) and Hydrolyzed Algin. Some other ingredients that are no longer on the list are Limonene, Geraniol and Linalool which add fragrance.
Hydrolyzed Algin has a high score for causing acne and irritation. The interesting part is that I didn't find anything on the web that confirms that. It is labeled as a safe ingredient. There are probably cases where it is irritating to the skin, but because it is used in a face scrub that it cleaned off after a minute, I think it's alright to say that it's safe, of course, if you usually don't get irritated by face scrubs.


Na proizvodu piše da se nanosi tako što se napravi pena s malo vode na dlanovima i prstima utrlja u lice. Ja ga nanosim tako što iz tube istisnem malu količinu na prste, nežno ih potrljam kako bi se stvorila pena i tako nanesem na mokro lice i masiram otprilike jedan minut. Nemojte očekivati puno pene, samo malo zapeni.
Na thebeautydepartment.com sam pročitala da se ovakvi pilinzi nanose na suvo lice pa sam pokušala i tako nekoliko puta i moram reći da radi na oba načina. Nisam osetila znatnu promenu pa sam nastavila oldschool :)

Piling je providan, gelaste teksture sa plavim kuglicama. Dolazi u pakovanju od 75 ml. Za razliku od pilinga sa perlama, ovaj ima potpuno drugačiji miris, po meni ne tako lep. Perle su odlično mirisale ali ovaj... ne znam kako da ga opišem. Možda i miriše na alge, nisam ih nikad pomirisala, ali ne sviđa mi se.

On the product it says that it should be applied by making a foam with water using the palm of you hand and then gently rubbing it into the skin. I apply it by pushing out a small amount of the product on my fingers, then I gently rub them together so it produces some foam and then I apply it to my wet face massaging it for about a minute. Don't expect plenty of foam, it foams just a little.
I read on thebeautydepartment.com that these kinds of scrubs are meant to be applied on dry skin so I tried it a few times and I must say that it works both ways. I didn't notice a big difference so I continued the oldschool way :)

The scrub is transparent, gel like with blue beads. It contains 75 ml of product. This one has a whole different smell than the one with the pearls, and I don't really like it. The pearls one smelled lovely but this... I don't know how to describe it. Maybe it smells of algae, I don't know, I never smelled them but I don't like it at all.


Kuglice rade odličan posao, lice bude nežno, fantastično glatko i naizgled hidrirano. Čak i pore smanji :) Ovaj piling spada u srednje jake pilinge, što meni sasvim odgovara jer volim da osetim da se nešto dešava tokom upotrebe proizvoda.
Pošto ne volim lice svaki dan da tretiram raznim stvarima, koristim ga jednom do dva puta nedeljno, kao što je proizvođač i preporučio.

Prezadovoljna sam s njim, jeftin je a odličan i traje čitavu večnost. Osetljiva mi je koža na sve živo i s njim nisam imala nikakvih problema. Samo mi nije jasno zašto su menjali sastojke kada prethodnoj verziji apsolutno ništa nije falilo. Novi miris pomalo kvari opšti utisak, ali svakako dobija 5 od 5!

Može se nabaviti samo u DM prodavnicama i po ceni od 310 din.

The beads do an excellent job, my face becomes gentle, fantastically smooth and seemingly hydrated. It reduces my pores, too :) This scrub feels mild to strong which I like because I like to feel when a product is doing what it should.
I use it once to twice a week, just like it is recommended on the product, because I don't like torturing my skin with a lot of products so often.

I am really happy with this scrub, it's cheap yet excellent and it lasts a very long time. My skin is sensitive on all kinds of stuff and with this scrub I didn't have any problems. I just don't understand why they changed the formula when there was nothing wrong with the previous version. The new smell is a little off-putting but it gets a 5 of 5!

It is available in DM stores for about 2.5 euros.
