DermOrganic

Hello, Fireflies!

I recently had the chance to try some products from the DermOrganic line and give my honest review for y'all.  Here's what I received: Hand and Body Moisturizing Lotion, Soapless Facial Cleanser, Daily Moisture Renewal, and 100% Pure Argan Oil.

Let's start with the DermOrganic Hand and Body Moisturizing Lotion, which was one of my favorites.

Originally, I put this in the bathroom, to replace my regular lotion pump, but then my husband said he really liked it as a massage lotion for me, so it got moved right next to the bed! Yes!  It's one of my favorite lotions - a light, kinda herbal-y scent, not greasy, very soft and pillowy, and rich.

Next, the DermOrganic Soapless Facial Cleanser.

This is a luxurious, creamy cleanser.  I'm not sure it was the best for my oily skin - it just didn't feel strong enough? It didn't take my makeup off, either.  I started using it lately with my konjac sponge and I like it better that way.  

The after-cleansing face lotion is DermOrganic Daily Moisture Renewal.

Like the other DermOrganic products I've tried, it has a very light herbal scent, which I like.  A lot of 'fragrance-free' products have a really off-putting smell - I've never found any skin care product that was truly unscented, but this is pretty close.  This lotion is in a pump, which I really like.  About 1 and a half pumps is enough for my face and neck, and it absorbs quickly.  If I put this on right after my shower, my face was ready for primer and makeup when I was.

The product I was most excited to try was the DermOrganic 100% Pure Argan Oil.

I love oils.  I use them all the time, everywhere.  I don't think my skin was ready for 100% Argan oil, though.  To be honest, I don't know which of the products was responsible, since I started using all at the same time, but when I first used these, I got the biggest, most painful, under-the-skin pimple I've ever gotten in my life.  I stopped using this on my face, but I still like it on my hair and hands, but only at night.

I received a sample of DermOrganic Hair Masque from Ulta, and thought I might as well include it here.

I have a ton of thick, curly hair that can be coarse and frizzy.  I have used so many different conditioners and products, but I've never used a hair masque.  I didn't think they'd be different from a deep conditioner.  I was wrong.  This is a sample, so I used the whole bottle in one go. I did use my normal products in my hair afterward, but my hair never felt this good before! Shiny, soft, manageable.  Amazing.

I went out that afternoon, and here's a picture of my hair from that day.  My hair is DOWN! And it's not huge and frizzy!

This is a really great line of products.  Natural, and cruelty-free, too.  Aside from the one painful pimple that only happened once and did go away, there were no other adverse reactions.  It may be that folks with dry or normal skin wouldn't have that problem, but the older I get, the more oily my skin is getting! After about a month of use, my skin is soft, and after one use of the hair masque, my hair feels great.

Ulta does not (yet!) carry the skincare items, but they should have the pure Argan oil on shelves between May and July.  If you'd like more information, or to order DermOrganic products, they have a website, Facebook page, and Twitter.
