I was recently sent a duo of products featuring activated charcoal from Derma E, including this Purifying Daily Detox Scrub. It’s a naturally based exfoliant that uses apricot seed powder, activated charcoal, and a few plant extracts to brighten and fight toxins on your skin.
I’ll be honest, I’m a big fan of quite a few Derma E products, but this one doesn’t really do it for me because I don’t love exfoliating with apricot seed powder. I mean, you’ve seen how St. Ives had to basically rebrand due to how trash their hero product is. That’s not to say that this product is entirely bad, I don’t mind scrubbing with some apricot seeds on my elbows, just not for the face.
The Derma E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask on the other hand, I love. This one actually has the apricot seed powder in it as well, but there are a lot fewer granules in it so I don’t feel like I’m scrubbing my face off. I gave it a full review on my blog last year, so click over there to read more.
If you haven’t checked out Derma E yet, their Microdermabrasion Scrub, which I’ve also reviewed, is my #1 favorite product they make that I’ve tried. I love the brand because they are pretty clean ingredients-wise, vegan, cruelty free, and most importantly, just have some great products!
