DermOrganic Facial Moisturizer

DermOrganic Anti Aging Facial Moisturizer was developed by DermOrganic, sister company to Mastey de Paris, known for creating the first sulfate-free shampoo. The concept about products from both companies is to use more natural ingredients in their products. DermOrganic use Argan in their hair and skin care products.

DermOrganic Facial Moisturizer is a thick, white lotion. The scent is somewhat citrus but has no added fragrance which is good for those of us who are sensitive to the overly scented facial products.

I like the idea of this moisturizer as it absorbs easily and the scent is very light and pleasant. The ingredients list is also pretty impressive. However, when using this product I get break outs on my face. This product also does not contain any sunscreen. This lotion leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated without being oily or greasy,

Available in a very nice 3.4 ounce pump bottle this product retails fr approximately $20 and is available form the DermOrganic website and some salons.

Ingredients:  Aqua/Eau/Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Tridecyl Stearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, PCA, Methyl Gluceth-20, Hyaluronan, Glucosamine HCL, Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo Leaf) Extract, Rice Amino Acids, Phospholipids, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Sterols, Panthenol, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Argania, Spinosa (Argan) Seed Extract, Yuzu Extract, Glycereth-2 Cocoate/Benzoic Acid.

L'Oreal Paris Youth Code Foaming Gel Cleanser

L'Oreal continues to expand it's Youth Code franchise with cleansers, and new serums and creams. While the original Youth Code Serum Intense Serum Concentrate is my favorite product in this line, it is interesting to give some of their other products a try to see if they too are as good.

The Youth Code Foaming Gel Cleanser has a watery, gel like consistency, perhaps a bit too watery. The scent is very similar to cleansers by L'Oreal owned Lancome, but at a much less expensive price point. This cleanser is sulfate based, unlike the majority of higher end products. L'Oreal has quit using sulfates in many of their hair care products implying that sulfates are harsh, so it's interesting they use it in this cleanser. The cleanser has a soft lather, great scent, and seems to clean well, but leaves a bit of a film after rinsing.

L'Oreal Youth Code Products are available at a variety of stores and online and retail for $25.00 or less. Target and Walmart retail them for $20.00 or less. A bottle of Youth Code Foaming Gel Cleanser retails for under $8.00 at most stores.

Mastey Use Me First Hair Purifier

 
Mastey de Paris has been a hair and skin care innovator creating the first Sulfate-Free Shampoo, making silicone free hair and skin care products, using only gentle, skin friendly ingredients, so it only seems natural that they would offer a product that removes the build up caused by using products that contain silicones and other impurities left in the hair by using products from other manufacturers.

Use Me First is a gentle, protein rich shampoo designed to remove build up from the hair. It helps to remove mineral deposits, chlorine, and product build up. Gentle enough to be used daily, but recommended for one a week use, this shampoo gentle purifies the hair enabling it to accept better coloring and conditioning.

Use Me First is a clear, slight runny shampoo with a very soft citrus scent. It lathers well and leaves the hair feeling clean and soft. With my color treated hair I must always use a daily conditioner in order to comb through my hair without tangles and Mastey de Paris Frehair Daily Conditioner is what I use.

Use Me First is available in an 8 ounce, 32 ounce, or Gallon bottle and is available from the Mastey website or from salons that sell Mastey products.

Ingredients: Aqua/Eau/Water, Rice Amino Acids, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), PCA, Panthenol B5, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Decyl Gluoside, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Disteareth-75 IPDI, Methyl Glueth-20, EDTA, Isododecane, Glycereth-2 Cocoate & Benzoic Acid, Parfume/Fragrance.
