Review

A small amount produces a lovely lather when mixed with water. I massage it on my face while humming a tune to make sure I hit all the spots. After using this, my face feels clean but not tight. A lot of cleansers in the market leaves your skin squeaky clean. Too squeaky that you know that they stripped the natural moisture on your face. Derma E’s cleanser left my face soft and even a bit dewy. I’m not sure of its firming effects since I only used this for about a week.. we’ll see. I’ll update this post definitely!

Review

Oh wow, I’ve just used this for a few days but this baby’s got potential! I’ve used this together with the Derma E DMAE Cleanser. It’s so pleasant to use because it doesn’t sting and aids in cleaning my face further. I’m already 30 and notice that the pores on my face are becoming more visible. Slightly larger than usual. It claims to firm the skin and refine pore size. You know what? IT’S REAL! IT WORKS! THEY TELL THE TRUTH! I’m happy when a products claims this and that and results back it up!

Could it be the allantoin? (helps repair the skin) Could it be the witch hazel extract (probably).  It has Alpha Lipoic Acid  that I initially thought can only be taken internally. Topically, it does help firm the skin! Works hand in hand with Ester-C too! (Vitamin C).

I highly recommend this for people with sensitive skin BUT still want to aid in refining their pores and tightening their skin. Without the sting.
