A-Derma

I try to use bar soaps whenever possible to reduce waste, and I’m so glad I came across this bar. I was looking for a gentle cleanser to replace my Fresh Soy Cleanser, which is amazing but also incredibly overpriced. The Aderma Cleansing Bar is soap free, the right PH, incredibly affordable, gentle and yet leaves my very oily and acne prone skin feeling clean and not stripped, which I’ve found is a rare balance to achieve. I love to use this in the morning, and also sometimes in the evening, depending on the day I’ve had. While this is definitely enough for the morning or an average day, I don’t think it’s strong enough to remove waterproof sunscreen or other heavy duty makeup. It produces a rich lather easily that’s not foamy. Even though it’s a simple, no frills cleanser, I’ve found it very enjoyable to use. I would definitely repurchase and recommend.

I have dry and sensitive skin as well as rosacea, and I swear by this cream. It has become my HG in caring for my facial skin. I have tried and used a lot of different moisturizers both for dry skin and sensitive skin - this one I will use the rest of my life...! I am so happy to finally have found a cream that gives plenty of moisture without breakouts. It makes my skin so soft and absorbs quickly. The consistency is pleasant and creamy. The price is just right for the quality, about $12 I usually stock up on them when the online pharmasies here in Norway have A-Derma sale. It costs about twice the price in ordinary pharmasies.I use it as a day cream and night cream. It works well in winter as well as not beeing heavy in hot temperatures.

With this new version A-Derma hopped on the Cica trend bandwagon with the inclusion of alanyl glutamine. It is intended for strengthening skin after cosmetic procedures and for damaged skin in general. Without being greasy it has a rich texture with shea butter and cushions skin with 0.2% sodium hyaluronate, It glides on skin without tugging at your skin, which is crucial if it feels raw and upset. it does calm down my skin quickly, but from what I remeber, the former version felt cooler and more refreshing. It come in a 40ml/1.3 FL.OZ soft plastic tube with narrow tip opening. All in all - an underrated product at a good price point.

It truly is an affordable gem.
