Derma E generously sent me two products from its Purifying Charcoal Detox line:
- Purifying Daily Detox Scrub
- Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask.
The Derma E Purifying Charcoal products would have been perfect for me when I lived and jogged in New York City when I was younger. The pollution from cars, factories and buildings was awful back then. And I often jogged along FDR Drive or near the West Side Highway. Frankly, I don’t know how healthy it was for me to be breathing in the fumes from all the vehicles as I exercised. When I came back to my apartment or my lab and washed my face and showered, I was always covered with grime. In the summers in NYC, I didn’t even have to run to need a good scrubbing at the end of the day.
Well, now I live more or less in the woods on the North Shore of Massachusetts, and fortunately, our air quality is quite good. Soot isn’t an issue for me anymore. And over the years, my skin that was once “combination skin” is now dry or very dry. Because purifying skincare products don’t suit my current skincare needs, and charcoal ingredients aren’t best for my skin type, I will give away these two lovely purifying, detoxing Derma E skincare products to one lucky reader of Never Say Die Beauty. But first, let me fill you in about them: who they’d work best for, what are the key benefits and ingredients.
Who are Derma E Purifying Daily Detox Scrub and Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask best suited for? The two cleansing products are recommended primarily for those with oily skin or those who live or work in urban environments where pollution is an everyday occurrence. Derma E’s Purifying skincare products have just about reached cult status – they’re that good! In addition to being great detoxers, they can and are used by people with sensitive skin. Both products are great at removing micro-pollutants and impurities. As you may know, Derma E skincare products are doctor-developed and clinically tested as well as made with natural ingredients. Plus they are cruelty-free.
Derma E Purifying Daily Detox Scrub
Although Purifying Daily Detox Scrub is serious business when it comes to battling micro-pollutants and impurities, it is gentle enough to be used everyday. Daily Detox Scrub oxygenates to reveal healthy, radiant skin. Its revitalizing formula contains powerful minerals and natural toxin-fighters from the earth and sea:
- Kimarine® Wakame is a potassium-rich, magnesium-rich seaweed that is clinically proven to protect skin against environmental pollutants (exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke, heavy metals)
- Bladderwrack is an antioxidant-rich, mineral-rich seaweed known for its water-binding properties that promote hydration and nourish the skin.
- Activated Charcoal, known for absorbing 100 to 200 times its weight in impurities, helps remove toxins from the skin’s surface.
- Apricot Seed Powder gently exfoliates micro-pollutants
- Green Tea provides potent antioxidant defense to protect skin.
Users say they love the scent, the texture, and that it’s gentle enough to use everyday. They love how smooth their skin feels after use. And they say it helps with blemishes or acne.
Derma E Purifying Daily Detox Scrub is 100% vegan, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten free, and GMO-free. The tube contains 4 oz. and is priced at $15.50.
Ingredients: Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Gel Extract*, Cetyl Alcohol (Plant Derived), Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Powder, Glycerin (Vegetable Derived), Coco-Caprylate (Coconut Derived), Charcoal Powder, Fucus Vesiculosus (Bladderwrack) Extract, Undaria Pinnatifida (Wakame, Kimarine®) Extract, Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract*, Menthol, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate (Vegetable Derived), Xanthan Gum, Diheptyl Succinate, Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Menthyl Lactate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Coco-Glucoside (Coconut Derived), Glyceryl Oleate (Plant Derived), Iron Oxides, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin
Derma E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask
The Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask deeply detoxifies skin of micro pollutants, and it removes dirt, oil and bacteria from pores. The mask contains many of the same ingredients as the Detox Scrub – Kimarine Wakame, Bladderwrack, activated charcoal, and apricot seed powder. Those ingredients coupled with kaolin and bentonite clays draw out dirt, oil, impurities, and toxins, and exfoliate dead skin cells and debris for clean, glowing skin. Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask can be used once or twice a week and is a perfect complement to the Daily Detox Scrub.
Users mention a slight tingle that lets them know it’s working. They also say that it’s a comfortable mask that never feels harsh or drying. It leaves skin glowing and smooth.
The tube of Derma E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask contains 1.7 oz. and is priced at $19.50.
Ingredients: Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Gel Extract*, Kaolin (Clay), Bentonite (Clay), Glycerin (Vegetable Derived) , Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Powder, Charcoal Powder, Fucus Vesiculosus (Bladderwrack) Extract, Undaria Pinnatifida (Wakame, Kimarine®) Extract, Epilobium Angustifolium (Canadian Willowherb ™) Extract, Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract*, Menthyl Lactate, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Those both sound like great products. I definitely love a good mask & scrub.

Great giveaway and great products. <3
