Meder Beauty Science Equa-Derm Cream

Oily skin doesn’t need to be dried out — it needs to learn to behave more normally.

Equa-Derm is the Meder cream for excessive oil production, persistent shine, enlarged-looking pores or oily and combination skin that never feels properly balanced. Sebum is necessary — the problem is excess. Equa-Derm reduces it while keeping the skin hydrated, comfortable and supported. Think: regulate → calm → hydrate → refine → balance.

Key reminder: oily skin still needs moisturiser. Sebaceous glands produce oil, not water — oily skin can be simultaneously dehydrated. Equa-Derm hydrates without adding grease.

Retinol-free • Oil-free formula • Not photosensitising • Suitable year-round including summer.

Who is it for?

Oily skin • combination skin (especially oily T-zone) • persistent daytime shine • congestion and enlarged-looking pores • oily and breakout-prone skin • adult and hormonal oily skin • oily but sensitive skin that doesn’t tolerate harsher mattifying products.

Key distinctions: Equa-Derm = sebum regulation (oily skin). Eu-Skin = active acne treatment. Derma-Fill = water/hydration (dehydrated skin). Arma-Derm = lipid support (dry skin). Salva-Derm = sensitivity. For combination skin: Equa-Derm morning + Salva-Derm evening may work well.

Key ingredients

Avocutine® / Butyl Avocadate (avocado-derived) — sebum-regulating star ingredient; acts as a retinol-like alternative to reduce excessive sebaceous activity without irritation. Note: not retinol — different mechanism, achieves similar sebum-control goals.

Agarikon Mushroom Extract (Fomes officinalis) — calming and astringent; reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and soothes inflamed oily skin.

Bioecolia® prebiotic — supports a balanced skin microbiome; essential in oily/acne-prone skin where microbial imbalance drives inflammation.

Indian Tamarind Seed Extract — hydration and calming support; ensures the skin stays hydrated while sebum is being controlled — less oil does not mean less water.

How to use

Apply as your daily moisturiser, morning and evening. A small amount over face and neck after cleanser, serum and Eu-Seb (if part of the programme).

Routine: Energy-Net (or Net-Apax) → Energy-Soin (or Soin-Apax) → Eu-Seb (if acne-prone) → Equa-Derm → SPF

Can be used as an everyday moisturiser long-term. Adjust seasonally: if skin becomes drier in winter, Derma-Fill or Salva-Derm may be more comfortable. Can be applied only to the T-zone with a different cream on drier cheek areas in extreme combination skin.
