Anyone genuinely loving Drunk Elephant?

[Fullfatlatte]

I’m intrigued by the Vit C serum & baby facial. Are they worth it?

Not tried but desp too - was in space nk the other day and they had Xmas sets with the full size products less than the actual products - worth giving a go I reckon

No
The vitamin c nonsense should pass soon.
Vit c is fairly unstable and will oxidise pretty soon to a brown- orange tone. Hence why everyone loves the ‘brightening’ effect. It tints your skin(!).
It also acid exfoliates too - which can be done cheaper.

Vitamin C is not nonsense and has been in use as skincare for years. It is one of the few agents proven to have an effect on skin (along with Vitamin A/Retin A). This is an excerpt from a clinical study.

"To summarize, Vit. C is a naturally occurring drug with multiple desirable effects. With an excellent safety profile, it finds increasing use in photoageing, hyperpigmentation, tissue inflammation and promotion of tissue healing."

I can't afford Drunk Elephant Vit C, but use Garden of Wisdom Vit C serum from Victoria Health. It is a very good alternative to DE.

Have tried a number of DE products with great expectations and not thought much of them.

I’m always sceptical when all the usual social media suspects start stanning hard over anything. Have a strong feeling this is going to be an Emperor’s New Clothes thing, bit like Sunday Riley and Charlotte Tilbury in year’s past.

Massive fanfare like it’s the second coming all over social media not long before Xmas. Then soon after on forums it’s “meh,it was ok, I liked one thing, but otherwise a bit dear for what it was”.

Oh and both Fushi and Akoma Skincare do Marula oil at much more reasonable prices. Fushi it comes in a nice glass bottle, Akoma the packaging is a bit more basic at they are really aimed at people who make skincare, but the quality is excellent.
