DRMTLGY Skincare: Best Anti-Aging Skincare for Mature Skin Over 50 (Black Friday Deals!)
"The Essential Cleanser is just too stripping for my skin. If you have dry skin, you may love this, but it's too drying for my mature dry skin and it is in my skip."
DRMTLGY BLACK FRIDAY/CYBER MONDAY: Best New Vitamin A Eye Cream + Top Picks For Over 50 Mature Skin
"I've recently tried their Essential Cleanser. This is a little bit foamy and stripping for my skin personally. I'm going to be moving this into my spring and summer routine when I don't need as much hydration because I feel like I have to come in with quite a bit of a hydrating formula after I use this cleanser. Like two layers of this the Hydration Boost instead of just one. If you have normal to oily skin you'll love this cleanser. It's a really great cleanser. It's basic and you get a ton of it, it's 6.9 oz."
Skincare HACKS FOR MATURE SKIN! (DRMTLGY Fails, Faves and Tips!)
"Their Essential Cleanser is a little bit too drying for my mature dry skin, but if you have oily mature skin you are probably going to love this cleanser. It's a creamy cleanser but it's just a little bit too stripping for my mature skin. I would say this is probably a better cleanser for me in the summertime."
SKINCARE Fails & Faves for Mature Over 50 Skin (DRMTLGY 30% BlackFriday/Cyber Monday Sale)
"This is an epic fail for me. It's not essential, this just dries out my skin. It leaves it feeling stripped. If you have combination skin or oily skin this might be perfect for you, but if you have dry mature somewhat sensitive skin I would steer clear of this."
