Three weeks ago I was introduced to Tammy Fender, a holistic and organic skincare line, by my aesthetician at Blue Mercury. She told me I needed to try their clarifying dermagel because it was this soothing, natural, plant-based miracle that healed skin. Unfortunately, the store was out of samples for it so she kindly gave me one she had saved for herself but hadn’t used. Seriously, Alicia at Blue Mercury is an angel.

Some people aren’t huge fans of natural products, but I love them. I’m a huge fan of holistic health and skincare, so Tammy Fender is right up my alley. As you know, I’ve used tea tree oil in the past and other natural products to help my breakouts. Tammy Fender’s product is formulated with myrrh and jojoba oil, thyme, tea tree oil, and lemon extracts. Needless to say, I was ecstatic to use this clarifying dermagel. What this product does is heal current blemishes, reduce irritation and redness, brighten skin tone and prevent breakouts. I don’t use it every day—because I only have a small sample and want to cherish it—but I typically use it as a moisturizer at night.

Honestly, I don’t know what will happen to me when I use up all of my teeny tiny sample. This gel smells heavenly, is super lightweight, feels gentle and gives me peace of mind. Too bad it’s $72…

I got my Tammy Fender clarifying gel sample at Blue Mercury, but you can buy yours at Tammy Fender, Dermstore, Bloomingdale’s, Beauty Bar, Space N.K., Amazon or other sites. If you’ve used this product or recommend another Darphin product, please let me know! Xoxo
