I’d never heard of Mincer Pharma until recently when I started spotting it on Instagram. I’m vain enough to take care of my skin as I approach 50, so I was keen to try this Polish pharmacy skincare brand.

Mincer Pharma has an impressive selection of product ranges. These include Oxygen Detox, Vitamins Philosophy, Vita C Infusion, Antiallergenic, Antitiredness, Daily Care, Hyaluron, Folic Acid and Argan Life.
I was sent two products from the Neo Hyaluron line for dehydrated, mature skin: Mincer Pharma Neo Hyaluron Strongly Firming Day Cream SPF10 and Mincer Pharma Neo Hyaluron Intensive Reconstructing Night Cream. Both are packed with anti-ageing hyaluronic acid goodies.
WHY HYALURONIC ACID IS SO IMPORTANT
The Mincer Pharma website gives a good explanation why this active ingredient is so important in the fight against ageing:
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in all living organisms. In humans it is responsible, among others, for proper hydration and firming the skin. Spectacular effects of hyaluronic acid result from the fact that it has very strong properties of bonding collagen fibres and of binding water molecules, thus enhancing firmness and nourishment of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is not only acting deep in the skin, but it also forms a protective coating that prevents loss of moisture. Unfortunately, with age it decreases in our tissues.
Mincer Pharma Neo Hyaluron Strongly Firming Day Cream SPF10 and Mincer Pharma Neo Hyaluron Intensive Reconstructing Night Cream contain a quartet of hyaluronic acid active ingredients for deep hydration and rejuvenation: cross-linked hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid microspheres, pillar hyaluronic acid and molecular hyaluronic acid.
I have used these products for more than a month and have already starting seeing results. My skin looks fresher and firmer, definitely more hydrated and (I like to think) the wrinkles are looking a tad less noticeable. These results are all the more impressive when I consider that we’ve been having a relentless heatwave here in Johannesburg for quite some time.

You are adventurous! I wouldn’t mind trying perfume from an unknown brand but skincare… I’m glad it worked for you though.
I suppose I’m lucky in that regard, Undina. My skin isn’t too sensitive, so I can try various brands.
Interesting Rich, do you use a special sun Cream with a higher SPF too? As you live in an area with lots of sun.
Thank you, Esperanza. Definitely, especially this summer. Temperatures have been above 30 degrees celsius on many days.
Hello Esperanza, I have to. The sun can be very harsh here. Even in winter, we have weather around 20 degrees celsius during the day.
Hi Rich, yes with those temperatures you have to wear sunscreen. You are lucky to have to temperatures in winter!
We are indeed, Esperanza.
Hey, Rich. I hope this message finds you well. I just got the Vita C Infusion No 601 from this range, and I’m happy to say my skin looked the next day after one use. It looked more hydrated! Now I’m so excited to try their other products, and I was wondering would you recommend this brand for someone who is 27?
Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you in advance.😊
Hello Lerato, hope you are well too. Apologies for the delayed reply. Been offline for a bit. Good to hear you’ve had good results from this product. Yes, I would recommend the Vita C range from Pharma. Please let me know if you need more info.
