DERMA-E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask




DERMA-E is a new brand for me.  I have heard of it before but never given any of their products a try until I was selected to test this charcoal face mask for Social Nature.  This is a dual action mask.  It is first a detox mask that purges pores of toxins and then gently exfoliates with apricot seed powder to reveal softer more radiant skin.  This mask boasts that it is gluten free, soy free, GMO free, vegan and cruelty free.

I have tried a number of face masks over the years and this mask is easily one of my favourites. The mask is dark grey in colour as it is a charcoal mask. It has an earthly smell but is not unpleasant. The mask is gritty in texture but applies smoothly to the face. I did find that after cleansing my face and applying this mask that I experienced a bit of a tingling sensation.  I don't have sensitive skin but if you do, you may experience more of a reaction.  The tingling sensation did dissipate as the mask dried.

What I love about this mask is how quickly it dries on the face. Some masks take so long to dry, like 20 minutes. This mask is completely dry in about 5 minutes. It hardens on the face but is not overly tight feeling. After the mask dried, I moistened my fingertips with water and massaged the mask into my skin before rinsing clean. The gritty texture allows for a thorough exfoliation.

In recent months, I have been using this mask as an overnight spot treatment for pimples.  I simply dab a bit of the mask onto any active pimples.  I feel it helps to dry them up faster with this method.

Overall, I am very pleased with this dual function mask. I loved the mask and then the second part of exfoliation. I have oily skin and I feel that my skin got a deep cleaning with this product. My skin felt so incredibly soft and smooth after using this mask. I particularly love how quick the process of using this mask is and the short drying time. As a result, I can easily incorporate it into my face care routine a few times a week.



I received this product free of charge to test from Social Nature in exchange for my honest opinion.
