Derma E Anti-Aging Night Skin Care Products + Review

Here’s two more skin care products that I’ve been eyeing and decided to bite the bullet and buy. They are…

• Derma E Anti-Aging Regenerative Serum

I’ve been testing them out, and here are my thoughts on them! Let’s start off with the first skin care product!

Review on Derma E Radiance Brightening Night Cream:

I was very excited to use this face cream. The name of the product has the words ‘radiance’ and ‘brightening’ in it. It’s always good to correct an uneven skin tone and lighten acne scars. I was hoping for the best when I first started using this cream.

Derma E Radiance Brightening Night Cream is a thick gel-cream. Leaning towards a cream. It takes much more effort to blend the cream into the skin. It doesn’t sink in right away. The texture can be off-putting. If you’re into smooth, elegant creams, this isn’t for you. You have to really rub it in. Once it’s rubbed into the skin, it doesn’t leave the skin ultra-hydrated. Don’t expect to be drenched in moisture.

After using it for only a few nights, I’ve noticed that my skin brightened up and is left feeling somewhat hydrated. A couple more days after that, I started to develop red, deep angry cystic acne. I stopped using the cream quickly. The cream did work to brighten the skin and lighten my dark under eye circles. But, that’s not enough for me to continue using it on my face. No one wants acne bumps + a brighter complexion, right? I will not buy this product again. Not for acne-prone skin people like me. *warning all people with acne skin!!*

Review on Derma E Anti-Aging Regenerative Serum:

I wasn’t impressed by Derma E Anti-Aging Regenerative Serum. The texture reminded me of Derma E Vitamin C Concentrated Serum. The results were similar. Both clogged my pores. Derma E serums are defintely a miss. Would not buy again or try any other serum from this brand ever again.

Update on Cleansing Routine

I decided to drop Avalon Organics Intense Defense with Vitamin C and QRxLabs Deep Facial Cleansing Oil from my cleansing routine. Here are the reasons why.

Avalon Organics Intense Defense with Vitamin C

• I have not seen any improvements in my skin.
• I love the idea of the creamy milky facial cleanser. I love how it didn’t dry my skin out. I hated the feeling of it on my skin sometimes. Really. I guess my skin isn’t meant for cream cleansers. I was just being hopeful.

QRxLabs Deep Facial Cleansing Oil

• The cleansing oil is THICK, but that’s not the reason why I don’t like it. The oil was difficult to move around my facial skin. It didn’t feel like a cleanser at all.
• It literally dried my skin out in the end. I know I have oily skin, but there is such a thing of sucking all of the oils out of my pores. This is what happened — More clogged pores. Bumps under the skin. Deep under the skin blackheads. Ugh! The first time in my life that I’m going to say, “I want my oily skin back!!”
• Tinglng feeling that it gives my skin was irritating. Yes, I broke the rule and bought a product with menthol in it. Never again.
• I’m a bit sketchy about the cleansing oil. Sounds like a good idea but doesn’t deliver. Wasn’t what I expected. I’m ready to ditch it.

So goodbye to these two cleansers. 👋

Love, Jen
