When I was offered the opportunity to try out products from DERMA E’s line of activated charcoal skincare, I was so excited! I’ve fallen in love with many DERMA E products before, so I knew that I could expect a lot from anything they graciously sent me. Just want to throw in a little reminder – I’m always honest whether or not I buy a product myself or it’s sent to me! I did a little dance when I opened my package and found the DERMA E Purifying Daily Detox Scrub and Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask. Especially considering the timing (two weeks after the holidays), my skin was ready for a detox!

Let’s talk about the goods. The DERMA E Purifying Daily Detox Scrub is advertised as a “gentle exfoliant” that “lifts away pollutants and impurities, promoting a fresh and healthy radiance.” Since it’s called a daily scrub, I used it daily for a week to test it out. As suggested, I applied the scrub to my freshly washed face and used it to gently massage my skin for a minute before rinsing. The creamy scrub smells faintly medicinal, as many activated charcoal products do, but not unpleasant. It is “scrubby,” but not abrasive, and certainly gentle enough for my combination skin to use daily. And if I do say so myself, my skin is looking a bit more radiant these days! I will use this product until I finish it, at which point I will consider buying it.

The DERMA E Purifying 2 in 1 Charcoal Mask is advertised as a “deep detox” that “purges pores of toxins” while it gently exfoliates. So… I don’t know how to tell if my pores have been purged. That’s not a thing I ever learned in school. I can tell you that this is a very refreshing mask to wear, slightly tingly, and easy enough to wash off. I can also tell you that I used it twice and have had limited breakouts since that time. I would like to note that I found the mask to be a bit drying, but I would tend to expect that given the name. It was nothing that couldn’t be fixed with a nightly moisturizer!

Let me finish by reminding you that DERMA E is an incredibly ethically-minded company whose products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates,
petrolatum, mineral oil, artificial colors, gluten,
soy or GMOs. So, if you’re into that and you also feel like your skin could use a good detox, check out the DERMA E Purifying Daily Detox Scrub and Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask!

Hello, class! I am so honored to have been asked by DERMA E to help spread the word about their new packaging. As you probably know, DERMA E is a skincare brand devoted to healthy and ethical beauty. According to some information I received:

Since 1984, our passion for health, wellness and
environmental sustainability has grown strong.
We have high ethical standards and never
compromise on skin health and safety. Our
100% vegan, cruelty-free formulas do not
contain parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates,
petrolatum, mineral oil, artificial colors, gluten,
soy or GMOs. Now that’s honest-to-goodness
skin care.

DERMA E is rolling out a new packaging for their products, one I happen to love! Their new look features the lotus, which represents beauty and efficacy. I also feel like the new packaging is much more chic and high-end looking than the old packaging (win!)

DERMA E gifted me two products to try – one is the Hydrating Day Cream in the old packaging, and the other is the Hydrating New Cream in the new packaging. I can attest to the fact that both of these are amazing products (the day cream absorbs so quickly- it’s amazing!) However, as I’ve said already, I much prefer the new packaging and I’m excited to see their whole line with this look.

I bet you’re wondering- where can I get my hands on DERMA E? Well, let me tell you. Some of the bigger beauty stores you’ll recognize are Target, Ulta, CVS and Walgreens. But also be sure to check out the beauty aisles of Whole Foods, Sprouts and Bristol Farms. Of course, you could also head to DERMA E’s website for all of your skincare needs.

The Hydrating Day Cream and Hydrating Night Cream are quickly becoming some of my favorite products. I can’t wait to play with some more DERMA E goodies!
