Dermy Doc Box sends a box filled with dermatologist-approved products every quarter. The Spring 2024 box arrived just in time to help us get our skin ready for spring and summer, with products to help fight bumpy, uneven skin texture and to help us have a radiant face and body. There were six items total, including a body scrub, eyelash treatment, and disposable face towels. Read my review below and learn more about the products that were sent this season!

Clean Skin Club Clean Towels Retail ($10) These are textured cloths that are meant to replace your washcloth for washing or drying your face, except they’re disposable. You can also use them with makeup remover or save your white washcloths when rinsing off a face mask, use this instead. They are made of viscose and are handy when traveling.
Skinfix Glycolic Renewing Scrub Retail ($32) is a combination AHA/BHA and physical exfoliator that’s supposed to fight bumpy skin including the kind caused by keratosis pilaris. It has 5% glycolic acid, 5% lactic acid, and willow bark extract to remove dead skin cells, decrease discoloration, and unclog pores. Plus it has scrubby bits and moisturizing oils. You get in the shower and before you turn on the water, you rub this stuff all over the arms, legs, and torso (or wherever you need exfoliation but it’s not meant for the face). It doesn’t have added scent but it smells slightly medicinal, like self-tanner. It wasn’t too gritty for my skin but of course you can adjust your level of scrub by rubbing harder or less so. Then turn on the shower and rinse it all off.
Urban Skin Even Tone Smoothing Body Treatment Retail ($58) Here is another product with glycolic acid to help exfoliate skin, plus kojic acid to fight discoloration, retinol to fight breakouts, and niacinamide for improving texture. It should be applied at night and can be used from the shoulders to feet. The product has no added scent and doesn’t smell like much of anything. I was surprised to find it was tan in color, although that didn’t matter once I applied it to my skin. It was absorbed quickly and felt lightly moisturizing after application.
BeautyStat Universal Microbiome Purifying Radiance Mask ($65) is a classic clay mask, the kind that dries after it’s applied and then you splash it off with water. It has clay and charcoal plus MicroSilverBG™, to protect and soothe the face. The mask deeply cleanses the skin while helping the pores look smaller. It’s supposed to exfoliate the skin with jojoba beads but I didn’t feel that happening, but then I only applied the mask to my chin. It felt cool upon application and then dried and turned a lighter color so I knew it was time to rinse off (it should take about 10-15 minutes). Use twice a week and as always, apply to a clean, dry face. I rinsed off in the shower, I’ve found that to be the easiest way to remove clay masks and face scrubs.
Wander Sight C-er Vitamin C Concentrate ($42) The first thing you need to know is that you have to pump this around 50 times to get any product to come out, thanks to its airless pump delivery system. It looks white when it is dispersed, and has no scent, but as you spread it around you will notice it leaves your skin noticeably brighter, with a pearly finish. It also has several types of hyaluronic acid to increase moisture, and niacinamide, which may help fade dark spots and help skin look brighter. Apply a pea-sized amount after cleansing and then follow with your other products. It can be used twice a day.
Indeed Labs Peptalash ($24.99) is supposed to help grow longer lashes and brows and help strengthen them so they can appear full and lush. Its ingredients include plant stem cells (slows follicle aging so lashes stay in longer), panthenol (like conditioner for lashes), and peptides (to increase keratin production). It has a felt tip and you “draw” it on your lash line twice a day. It has zero scent or color and is watery like a serum. It dried super quickly. It may take six weeks for any results to show up.
Dermy Doc sent all kinds of exfoliating products to help us get ready to show more skin in the upcoming months. There was an exfoliating body scrub plus and smoothing body treatment to help banish bumps and discoloration. We also received a clay-based face mask, a glow-boosting vitamin C concentrate, and disposable towels to be used to wash or dry skin (handy for trips to the hotel or to keep makeup from staining washcloths). The final product is supposed to boost lash and/or brow growth. The booklet had discount codes so we can save money when purchasing these products at the brands’ websites. The value for the items in this quarter’s box was around $232!
