This smoothie is packed with nutrients. It’s great as a quick morning breakfast that will give you lasting energy.
Smoothies can be a great way to get a lot of fruits and vegetables packed into one drink, but depending on the ingredients it may not be filling enough.
In other words, if your smoothie is made only or mostly of fruits and vegetables you…
It was over a year ago when I tried my first Derma E product. It was the Derma E Even Tone Brightening Cleanser.
The company I shopped from online stopped selling it and that’s when I switched to the Derma E Anti Wrinkle Cleanser. By the way, if you’re looking to even your complexion or stop acne then read my Even Tone Brightening Cleanser Review.
Anyway, you’re likely wondering if this is an age-defying facial wash.
I’ll share the details along with my personal experience starting with what might be the most important question anyone who is considering using this product might have…
The product description on the Derma E website gives a bit more details about what the facial wash is supposed to do. I’ve included it below.
Vitamin A: The “skin vitamin” helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles for a fresher, newer appearance. The texture of your skin will look smoother and more refined, and your complexion will seem rejuvenated with a newfound radiance.
I’ve been using the Derma E Anti Wrinkle Cleanser for over 6 months. I use it every morning followed by a small amount of either jojoba oil, shea butter, or another natural skin cream.
Over the years I’ve developed these 2 creases or wrinkles between my eyebrows and I have fine lines around the mouth — the area that folds when I smile.
I haven’t seen any real change in the appearance of these wrinkles and fine lines since I’ve been using this facial wash.
In my opinion, applying the cleanser on my face every morning for over 6 months is a long time and I personally would expect to see results by now. But I’m not sure how long Derma E suggests it will take to see wrinkles and fine lines reduced after using the Anti Wrinkle Cleanser.

This facial wash is supposed to give your skin a smooth texture. I’m not sure if “smooth texture” means clearing away acne, acne scars, or other marks.
But I have noticed that my skin has had fewer breakouts since I’ve been using it. Although my skin isn’t completely acne free, I do have less acne compared to other past facial routines or when I didn’t have any particular facial wash at all.
Although my face doesn’t have much acne, in my personal experience, the Derma E Even Tone Brightening Cleanser was more successful at clearing away those blemishes.
The Anti Wrinkle Cleanser keeps most acne away, but my skin was acne FREE while using the Even Tone Brightening Cleanser.
However, my diet could play a part in these results. When I used the Even Tone Cleanser I was consuming more fruits, vegetables, and whole foods in general on a more consistent basis.
As for my complexion, it does seem more even, refreshed, or renewed immediately after washing my face, which is similar to my results from using the Even Tone Brightening Cleanser.
Below are all the ingredients in the cleanser:
Retinol is vitamin A in a synthetic form. Products with retinol that are meant to be left on the skin are discouraged from use based on studies from the FDA.
When this chemical is left on the skin in direct sunlight it can lead to skin tumors and lesions.
This facial wash is obviously meant to be washed off the skin so I don’t think the hazards apply in this case.
However, in my opinion, it’s best to use a good SPF cream that does NOT include retinol or any synthetic form of vitamin A after using the Anti Wrinkle Cleanser. And apply the sunscreen to every part of your skin you apply the facial wash (face and neck).
Similarly, Derma E includes retinyl palmitate in its Even Tone Brightening Cleanser. Retinyl palmitate is another form of vitamin A. In my review on the Even Tone Brightening Cleanser, I mentioned following up with a good sunscreen WITHOUT synthetic vitamin A.
Derma E has a Vitamin Statement regarding the use of vitamin A in their products. You can read about it in my Even Tone Brightening Cleanser Review.
I emailed Derma E to see if they could tell me a little more about the last ingredient “Natural Fragrance Oils.”
Someone did get back to me and let me know that the natural fragrance oils in the Anti Wrinkle Cleanser are essential oils. Although they didn’t say what kind, they did say Derma E uses a variety of different oils, but mostly Lavendar and Citrus essential oils.
The cleanser is GMO, cruelty, gluten and soy free. It’s also a 100% vegan product and recyclable.
Pros
Cons
Although the cleanser helps to work against acne, I’d prefer a completely natural product. Therefore, I’ll continue using it while I continue to search for an all-natural facial wash that gives my skin great results.

For those of you who have coily hair or if your kids do you know how vital it is to keep it super moisturized. If not, it will become dry, brittle, and tangled. This makes it super important to try and stay on top of keeping it detangled.
But for those times when your hair does become tangled, it’s so critical to use a product that softens and makes it more manageable. I’ve recently rediscovered my love for the perfect natural hair detangler …
Ice cream is such a great way to cool down in the warm summer heat. One thing that’s better than eating ice cream when it’s hot is eating healthy ice cream! That’s exactly what I like about this strawberry ice cream recipe.
I used four simple ingredients to make this strawberry ice cream — frozen strawberries, raw honey, pink Himalayan salt (just a pinch), and water. And the pink salt is really optional….
For some reason when I used to think of comfort food I would think of food that’s loaded with a lot of heavy hazardous ingredients. I would think of food that should only be eaten occasionally.
But the truth is comfort food doesn’t have to be dangerous. Comfort food can be wholesome, hearty, and filled with healthy ingredients. Like this Shepherd’s Pie recipe….
There’s something I love about the taste of fried fish with curry flavor. I don’t fry fish that often but when I do I like to make curry the main feature. I would say, most of the time I fry my fish this way.
And if you love to eat other curry dishes such as beef or chicken curry, then you will likely enjoy this Curry Fried Whiting.
You can use whatever fish you like. Whiting was the fish I happened to buy at the time I made this recipe. Although I do prefer the taste of whiting over some other types of fish…

One of the goals I have for my kids is to give them protective hairstyles a lot more often. I want to give them styles that won’t cause their edges, or hair in general, to break off.
I also want to use products that are safe to leave in their hair after washing and styling. Specifically, products that won’t cause dryness or damage when left in the hair for a long period of time.
So I decided to try styling my toddler’s hair with the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Leave-In Conditioner that’s designed to strengthen and restore hair…
