DERMA E: vegan skincare from California, from vitamin C serum to SPF

Shopping at DERMA E? See all current DERMA E promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

DERMA E is a skincare brand from Southern California that started in 1984 with a single vitamin E moisturiser sold through a health food store. It has since grown into a full range of cleansers, serums, moisturisers, masks and sun care, and it describes its formulas as powered by naturally derived ingredients. The brand is known for being vegan and cruelty-free, and since 2018 it has been part of Topix Pharmaceuticals.

The homepage is organised around skin concerns, with ranges for sensitive skin, brightening with vitamin C, hydration and anti-ageing. Prices sit in the middle of the market, which makes it a good fit if you want a full routine from one brand without paying department-store prices.

What's worth a look

Here are six products from the homepage, all at their usual prices when we checked.

The Vitamin C Concentrated Serum at $21.50 leads the brightening range, and the Vitamin C line on the homepage also includes a renewing moisturiser, an eye cream and a mask. For dry skin, the Ultra Hydrating Advanced Repair Night Cream is $32.50, and the Advanced Peptides and Flora-Collagen Moisturizer is the dearest of our six at $36.95. The Microdermabrasion Scrub at $33.50 is the brand's exfoliator, and the Daily Liquid Sun Serum SPF 30 is a mineral sunscreen for $24.95.

Good to know before you buy

The Sensitive Skin range has its own cleanser, serum and cream, and they also come together as the Sensitive Skin Barrier Care Set, which was $58 on the homepage against $68.40 for the three bought separately. If you were going to buy all three anyway, the set is the cheaper way in.

Shipping and taxes are worked out at checkout, so add everything to your basket before you compare the total with another shop. If you're trying an active product such as an exfoliating scrub for the first time, start slowly and patch test. The homepage also groups products by concern, which is a quicker way to find a matching cleanser, serum and cream than browsing the whole shop.
