Eucerin has unveiled its new Skin Health Cost Calculator as part of the brand’s Skin First Movement and commitment to educating Americans about the importance of treating their skincare more like healthcare. The Eucerin Skin Health Cost Calculator is being billed by the Beiersdorf brand as a first-of-its-kind tool to help consumers understand the financial benefits of good skin care habits by quantifying the medical costs their skin health habits can have throughout their lifetime.

According to Catherine Lair, marketing director, Beiersdorf, Inc., the Eucerin Skin Health Cost Calculator is the brand’s “latest step toward ensuring that women see their skin as a priority in maintaining their overall health by emphasizing the financial, emotional and practical benefits of nurturing the body’s largest organ.”

Created in collaboration with Eucerin Skin First Council member and leading pharmacoeconomic expert, Rajesh Balkrishnan, the calculator sheds light on the staggering expenses associated with poor skin habits. In fact, most people do not realize that unhealthy skin is expensive. It costs Americans more than $40 billion per year, or $400 per individual. Over a lifetime, the average amount spent on skincare issues and problems can be as high as $100,000.


“With the Eucerin Skin Health Cost Calculator, we are able to show Americans that it pays to have good skin health, both literally and figuratively,” said Rajesh Balkrishnan, PhD. “The sooner you put your skin first, the less you’ll have to pay for skin recovery and the higher your quality of life will be.”

To tabulate Skin Health Cost scores and related dollar amounts, the Eucerin Skin Health Cost Calculator takes into account various skin health related habits, such as moisturizing and cleansing daily, smoking, and SPF use. The tool walks consumers through a series of questions and provides a score and suggested products at the end.
