Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil 15ml

Product Information

If there was one type of product that took the beauty community by storm this past year, it was chemical exfoliation. Alpha hydroxy acids and Beta hydroxy acids have become the new standard for soothing out the skin and removing that layer of dead skin cells. But none of these products had quite as much hype behind them as the Sukari Baby Facial from Drunk Elephant. Containing almost every AHA and BHA available, this formula is widely considered the ultimate acid exfoliating treatment. But is it really worth the hype? In this Drunk Elephant review, we’re looking into the brand behind this product, as well as their formula to give you an idea of what to expect. Niacinamide: Aka vitamin B3, niacinamide has a wide range of benefits, most notably its ability to improve signs of ageing (fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness) as well as uneven tone and texture.

This Drunk Elephant vitamin C eye cream has a rich texture that leaves the eye area feeling hydrated but not heavy or greasy. The formula is pretty impressive with 8 peptides, 5 forms of vitamin C, vitamin E, superoxide dismutase, ubiquinone, and several more antioxidants. There are also soothing ingredients like cucumber and licorice extract, as well as hydrating ingredients like panthenol and hyaluronic acid. The formula truly contains everything your skin needs to stay healthy and youthful. One reviewer even said this Drunk Elephant eye cream “Took a few years off my under eye area”. Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser Drunk Elephant Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser is a luxurious cleansing balm that’s activated by water, turning it into a milk that melts away all traces of dirt, makeup, and sunscreen from skin, even water-resistant formulations. The formula contains what the brand calls a “nourishing fruit salad blend”, a mix of non-fragrant soothing fruit extracts (blueberry, kiwi, and strawberry) and replenishing fruit oils (cranberry seed oil, acai fruit oil, and watermelon seed oil). Is The Drunk Elephant Retinol Cream Right For You?Slightly thinner in texture than Drunk Elephant’s, this oil is almost an exact dupe (although I do find Drunk Elephant’s option has a slightly smoother finish, possibly down to the filtration system used). This probably goes without saying, but if your skin is already in a confused state (i.e. sunburn, redness or sensitised areas), wait until things have calmed down before using this product. You’ve made the investment and we want you to get the maximum results.

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream contains 9 signal peptides, which are peptides that signal cells in the skin called fibroblasts to produce more collagen. Remember, more collagen equals firmer, tighter skin. The formula also includes pygmy waterlily extract, which helps to moisturize and soothe the skin thanks to its rich source of antioxidants and nutrients.In place of an eye cream (Drunk Elephant recommends 1 to 2 drops if you’re doing this but I think half a drop is enough) for a really moisturising, fine-line plumping effect.

Use Babyfacial™ once weekly. Warm 3-5 pumps between your hands to thin out the product. Gently pat an even layer onto clean, dry skin. Leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. Follow immediately with Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil for best results. Slight tingling may be experienced. Over time, my skin also feels generally more nourished and soothed (particularly useful for any sensitive skin moments like the change of seasons). Tran D, Townley JP, Barnes TM, Greive KA. An antiaging skin care system containing alpha hydroxy acids and vitamins improves the biomechanical parameters of facial skin. Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol. 2014;8:9-17. doi:10.2147/CCID.S75439 But while I do love this Drunk Elephant product, there certainly are cheaper alternatives out there which still offer a quality oil- like The Ordinary’s 100% Cold Pressed Virgin Marula Oil.Formulations never include harmful ingredients like fragrance, dyes, essential oils, and drying alcohols The only downside? Retinol can often lead to side effects like skin dryness, peeling, and irritation. Drunk Elephant has received plenty of editorial coverage in publications such as Allure, New Beauty, Vogue and Refinery29 and has scooped up plenty of industry awards as well. The Drunk Elephant C Firma Day Serum won an Allure Best of Beauty Award in 2018, and a Reader’s Choice Award in 2019. Drunk Elephant A Passioni Retinol Cream includes 1% retinol, which is a moderate strength when it comes to this ingredient, so this product may not be suitable for newbie retinol users. Offered here in its purest, cold-pressed form, Drunk Elephant claims the omega 9 here (oleic acid) is what makes this one of the most effective face oils for *all* skin types because it absorbs easily.
