Derma E’s Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask is getting tons of buzz right now (just search #dermaedetox on Instagram!) and it’s not hard to see why! It’s made with natural clays, seaweed, activated charcoal, and apricot seed powder to deeply detox skin and gently exfoliate away micro-pollutants, leaving you with super soft, smooth, clean skin.

So when our friends at Derma E send over some samples to the Well.ca Toronto office, we were super excited to try it out for ourselves! Here’s what we thought:

“I’m not exactly a face mask professional, but I liked this! It felt really clean going on and off, and I liked that there wasn’t any residue left after washing it off. The exfoliation wasn’t harsh on my sensitive skin, and my wife commented that my skin was smoother and that I had less redness in my cheeks after using the mask.” – Mike, Email Marketing Specialist

“The first thing noticed about this was the smell. It smells amazing, which is a huge plus in a face mask – you’re putting it on and near your nose, after all! I also loved how easy it was to apply (and remove!) and that it exfoliates and doesn’t make your skin super tight like lots of other masks do. This left my face feeling clean and smooth.” – Ashleigh, Beauty Buyer

“I’m a big fan of this mask. I loved the added exfoliation! It was enough to leave my skin feeling super soft, but without being too intense. I usually find that facial exfoliators that give me the kind of smoothness that I’m looking for can be kind of tough on my skin, but I really appreciate that this one didn’t make me suffer for beauty. And I love that it’s made with natural ingredients, so it didn’t cause me to break out after using it. This is definitely becoming part of my skin care routine!” – Cori, Community Manager
