Derma E launches masks
Derma E is bringing a panoply of masks to the beauty aisle.
The Derma E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask uses activated charcoal to lift dirt, oil and environmental toxins, the company said. The dual-action mask is designed to move from a deep pore cleansing treatment to gentle exfoliation for fresh, glowing skin, according to Derma E. The mask also contains apricot seeds, marine algae and bladderwrack.
The brand’s Firming Magnetic Clay Mask is an exfoliating clay mask with natural magnetic properties that Derma E said is meant to help draw out impurities and provide a fresh and cooling sensation. It contains Adzuki beans, spearmint and the supplement DMAE.
Derma E’s Vitamin C Brightening Clay Mask is meant to revitalize the skin and reveals a brighter more youthful-looking complexion, the company said.
Bioré extends baking soda line
Kao USA’s Bioré brand is introducing its Bioré Baking Soda Acne Cleansing Foam. Formulated for combination skin, the cleanser gently removes surface dirt and oil to achieve a deep clean without over-cleansing or drying out skin.
The product’s baking soda cleansing agents deep clean pores, while salicylic acid treats and prevents breakouts, the company said. Bioré Baking Soda Acne Cleansing Foam has a suggested retail price of $6.49.
The new product joins the brand’s previously launched Baking Soda Acne Scrub, which the company said uses spherical beads to remove dead skin cells from pores, and salicylic acid to treat acne and prevent breakouts. Bioré also has two charcoal products — an Acne Scrub and Clearing Cleanser. It uses natural charcoal to absorb oil, and salicylic acid to treat and prevent acne.
