Thank you for the time stamps for different products. I AM BLOWN AWAY BY THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT YOU PUT INTO BRINGING US THESE VIDEOS. Truly appreciate it.
I simplified my skincare routine after discovering your channel and my skin has never been better. Who knows if it was some crazy coincidence and my hormones just magically balanced out, but I'm 100% sure your channel has saved me loads of $$$. Thanks for imparting your knowledge on us!
I second this!! Also started using acne medication with Adapalene in it (Differin in the US, but I use Tactupump here in Canada), and my skin has never been better. Thanks Dr. Dray!
I wish that could be true for me:( I have went to so many doctors and nothing from the dermatologist ever works or doesn’t continue to work the only products that seem to actually work are high end products like drunk elephant, farmacy, and herbivore
This is by far the best and most informative review I’ve seen of Drunk Elephant. The scientific consensus of the ingredients in each product is hard to understand and analyze without your medical background and a lot faster to gain through this video as opposed to reading peer reviews articles on each of the ingredient and formulations on my own. Thank you so much!
I'm interested in a Paula's Choice review, too. Some of what PC claims on their products (all done with research and dermatologists, supposedly) goes against what Dr Dray says most of the time. Or it seems to me. I'm more inclined to believe Dr Dray because she's not trying to sell me $200 worth of products.
Honestly, I was & still am disappointed! I had her "iconic" 2% bha & it broke me out, It also left a weird film that I did not like! I tried using it again a year later & the same thing happened no matter how i tried to use it! I had her mens line, the only thing I kinda like was the cleanser gel but get better results from my Freederm! I still have air tight samples of her sunscreens but i think I'm going to skip, they broke me out sooo bad last time (A lot of her products contain oils like sunflower which my skin hates) Anyway my skin is ok at the moment so might try them out...on 2nd thoughts, I am waiting on arrivals from Japan so i actually probably won't use any of her stuff again...Sorry not sorry, oh & pricey $$$... I think she lies a lot, her claims are a joke, I just don't like her at all, I have real skin issues & I really believed her claims at 1 point 👎👎👎👎😠 So glad I found Dr.Dray
Sam M Acids like BHA are well known for causing mild purging, likely the cause or you could respond poorly to one of the ingredients. Not the brands fault honestly, everyone is different. I like the BHA liquid from the Resist line personally, it’s the consistency of water and no tackiness.
So true. I almost bought several products from the line, not sure why I decided not to at the end...but really, more money doesn’t mean better. Trying to convince my nieces of that (already label whores in their early teens) and hopefully save them from the gazillion dollars I spent over the years on useless high end crap.
Oh, well, of course - if everyone is buying it, then it MUST be good. Ha. It is the marketing that is brilliant. There is nothing in this stuff that justifies the cost.
You are incredibly dedicated to your viewers to spend $800 and 3 months trying out Drunk Elephant products. The company has an great thing going if they can convince their customers to spend $2,400 to $3,200 a year to keep up with their beauty regiment, that's a significant amount of money out of your pocket and into theirs. Thank you for helping us spend our money wisely and efficiently. Happy Monday 😊🍁
As Dr Dray has commented herself, many people spend this amount of money on product there is no research behind yet they balk at spending $200-$300 for a tube of Retin A that HAS the research backing it. A tube of Retin A, although it might cost people in the US so much, lasts a good year with everyday use, that's less than $1 a day!
@@amandaf5664 yes , l use prescription retinol and have been very happy with it. I think that's the best place to put your money, except for sunscreen 😊
It’s not that much a year unless you’re drinking it. I used it for a year and the trunk is most of what you need. Even if you got two of those that wouldn’t even be 1,000.00 and that would be more than enough for a year. But it’s good to know what might be best of the products.
Tl;dr The good: the protini polypeptide cream and b hydra serum combined together can be a very good moisturizer (don’t use the serum alone). The lippe balm can help with hyperpigmentation in the lips. The meh: the jelly cleanser is ok but you can get similar from aveeno for cheaper. The pollution protecting bronzer is probably not doing much for you with small drops. The bad: The vitamin c serum has the same issues that most vitamin c serums have: unstable and rapidly oxidizes on the skin. The sakari baby facial and TLC framboos glycolic acid mostly function as salicylic acid since we AHA % doesn’t inform us about effectiveness. The eye creams don’t do much that the protini moisturizer doesn’t do better. The terrible: The facial bars are far too high of a ph.
ShaunaB how can the protini cream be good if all it has are ingredients that do nothing for the skin derms have taken studies and the peptides and growth factors go beyond 500 daltons which means they can’t penetrate the skin which means the cream is usless
I was actually just hoping for the same! Would love to see a Dr. Dray-approved alternative list for each of these products! I think this would be so very helpful to alot of us out here that just can't, or won't, spend the kind of money that Drunk Elephant costs....when it is constantly being shoved down our throats as THE ONLY skincare with any efficiency by EVERY Beauty Guru on RU-vid 😕
Dang you spent some $$$ i should write you a check for all the money you’ve saved me! I’ve said this many times but thank you so much for all that you do I tell everyone about you!
cinlocybin this is not “one person” experience this a a dermatologist experience on the vitamin C and her scientific over view also let me tell you a secret most of those serums have silicone which will give you a brightening effects a cheap ingredient... I bought a vitamin C (way more cheaper because I find those brands over priced) and did the same brightening effect due to the silicone in it. Also here in Europe we have a lot of good brands with their own labs that sell much more affordable vitamin C like Sesderma. Here must people won’t buy overpriced products that became famous on RU-vid.
@@magnoliabranca5149If you follow most RU-vidrs, you would be broke in a week. They love to recommend Sephora carried products, which tend to be expensive. Then they hype up so many products that you would needing an apartment just to keep all of the products. I find that it is mostly what you put inside that will make the most difference for the skin.
Your expression in the thumbnail says it all. 😆 So in conclusion, don't fall for the hype.... There's something very relieving about being told from a medical doctor that we don't have to go broke in order to have good skin. Sobering, actually. Thanks for the research and video, Doc. 👍
It's so funny how easily we are seduced by brand hype. The marketing teams know this and we all need to learn and be careful. THAN YOU for your clear and sensible review.
Thanks for doing this review so people get a better perspective on this brand and can make more informed decisions on whether or not to purchase. Personally, their products were really bad for my skin and I had to stop using. Also really dislike their marketing, it's all buy, buy, buy, and no concern about their customers.
I just want to THANK YOU Dr DRAY. I never thought of doing skin care much in my 20s because i find these products by high fi name are so expensive and i used to use Cetaphil. As soon as i entered in my 30s last year, i was buying expensive products but after watching ur videos like seriously changed my whole life and perspective about these products. So i just want to THANKYOU, you have saved my bucks and i try to stay updated with my skin care. i love products that you recommend from drug store and they are in my budget. I cant explain how amazing you are. :)
Thank you for paying out your own pocket for these products for the sake of us!! I know you definitely will never go to Sephora and buy things like these but for our demands;);) love u ❤️ ❤️😘😘
I still can’t understand why companies are still putting fragrance in products. I have been using fragrance free for over a year now and my skin has really improved. I still get spots as I have oily skin. I have been using dr Sam Bunting’s flawless cleanser and have just ordered her moisturiser and would recommend it. I live in 🏴 Wales (uk) and would urge everyone to go fragrance free 👍🏻🙂
annette Buttle can you please let me know how the moisturizer work for you. I'm trying to go fragrance free but can't find one ff that works for my skin here in the U.S. ? I have oily skin and am 50 in 4 months.
I totally agree, I've been fragrance free for a few weeks and am already seeing improvement! I always thought that I had sensitive skin, but it's just fragrance in skincare that's to blame, I'm almost certain. What is worse is that they putting fragrance in skincare targeted at sensitive skin!
Michelle Tidler I am also using Clinique as they are fragrance free. So I’m using both at the moment as I hate waste. But when Clinique is gone I will use dr Sam. But Clinique is good too. I’m 46 and has helped me to.
I've found that Dr Sam's cleanser is fine but still makes my skin feel a bit tight. Having said that - I reckon my 'hard' water isn't helping the situation. Her rich moisturiser is nice on my dehydrated skin but the lighter one doesn't do much for me
I keep the Lippe Balm in my purse, but use Aquaphor or Lanolips at night or if I'm not going out. I have rosacea (including ocular) and very sensitive skin. The Beste cleanser is hands down the best cleanser I've used in decades. Also I didn't have an issue with the C tango in the eye area. I thought it was quite brightening. I only had a sample and may buy it at some point. Thanks for this video. I enjoy listening to you since you are so knowledgeable about ingredients and don't think everything is " amazing and a must have!" So many on youtube are uninformed and just trying to sell something.
I too have a light case of rosacea (I’m not sure if it will get worse with age 🤷🏼♀️) but DE has really helped reduce the redness although I can also say I have to be careful cause sometimes if I use too much then I feel hot in the face.
A couple of years ago, a dermatologist asked my mom what she was doing to her skin because of how good it was. My mom had and still has the most simplistic of routines. Now after seeing your videos I know mom was on the right track. Simple is always best. Thanks for your contribution to saving my wallet!
BTW, the papers listed below are very persuasive! you are more like a scientist who are very precise and cautious in your opinion! Well done and thank you, Dr. Dray!
A dermatologist told me years ago to use Cerave Sa lotion for the keratosis pilaris I started having on my arms. After that I tried all the cerave products and I love them all! it’s nice to know that you are behind that brand 100%! I’ve never spent money on expensive skincare and I’m glad I haven’t been missing out. Thank you for your videos!!! I’m learning so much still!
I've had so many people recommend your channel to me!! I love how honest you are! I'm going watch your videos today!! I've been struggling with my skin care the last few years!!! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise & honesty💛
Can you do some baby products reviews/recommendations? After watching your videos I have paid more attention to the product list and to my surprised I noticed that even very well established brands for babies a few months old , have perfume in them.
I really appreciate you reviewing the entire line for us! I used and tried the night serum and marula oil about a year ago. I enjoyed the marula oil, but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for it again (I got both during Sephora's 20% sale). Now, I just stick with the neutrogena gel-cream and cerave PM that has been a winning combo for me. As far as the night serum, I loved it for the first few months of use till I had to stop when my doctor put me on retin-a for acne. I found that I got better results from my retin a (that is only $10 since my insurance actually covered it) than I ever did with the night serum. I still kick myself for ever buying into the hype! There is absolutely no reason any of these products should cost so much!
tretinoin (retin A) has far more evidence to supports its use than anything DE and I am really glad to hear you were able to get it covered by insurance
dang! drunk elephant really breaks the bank, thanks so much for doing this in depth review so amazing!!! I used the marula oil last winter and it really helped my perioral dermatitis but now I just use it to moisturize my neck before bed, and when it's out I won't be repurchasing because neutrogena hydroboost is where it's at for me!
if you do want to keep using marula oil, you can buy a 1 oz bottle for around $15 on amazon, same virgin, unrefined quality and same size bottle that DE charges a ridiculous $72 for. hope that helps to save you some $!
me too! The only thing I use from drunk elephant is their sunscreen now. They are very moisturizing and the tinted one is perfect for my asian skin tone
The long-waited video from my fav Dr. Dray!!!! A lot of RU-vidrs talked about how beneficial DE products are without getting deep into the drawbacks/benefit of ingredients, highly bc they are compensated or won't be held account for our skin. Dr. Dray, as always, thank you for being our go-to advisor rather than the brand's spokeswomen!
Ellen I think it also has a lot to do with the likelihood that a majority of those influencers know very little about skincare and therefore should not be recommending products to anyone!
just discovered this channel last night and i'm LIVING for it. i research active ingredients in health products like mouthwash prior to purchase, but skincare requires someone with your level of knowledge. you're providing a great service, thank you so much!
Hi dr Dray. Thanks a lot for the review. I too was curious, there was so much hype (positive and negative) around this brand. Personally I am not going to try it because I think prices are a rip off. There are great products out there but cheaper. Also their annoying insisting on Suspicious 6 and the arrogance of the owner (saw an interview with her) put me off. Really appreciate the unbiased review from you. Trust it completely!
Caroline Hirrons talks about that, especially the brand's habit of fending off complaints from customers experiencing irritation from their products by insisting that it MUST be a different product the customer is using that has the "suspicious 6" (eye roll); if the customer was using ONLY items without the suspicious 6, (i.e.: their products), they wouldn't be experiencing the reaction. This, of course, is stupid. Some of the "Suspicious 6" are usually non-irritating for many people (as Dr. has talked about in her videos on parabens, chem sunscreens). And many things that are NOT on their "Suspicious 6" list, but in THEIR products can be irritating to others.
@@annabaker4857 Hi Anna. Thanks! Saw that video with Caroline. Also saw an interview that the owner Tiffany (?) gave to Nadine Bagotte. After that any wish I had to try their products was gone. However, many like them.
Am I the only one who accidentally watches other videos and then comes back to the real doctor with less money and a ton of regrets. This chanel is amazing.
I put the pink baby facial to my neck, and it's now peeling badly!! drunk elephant had nothing to say about this and I'm so confused until I watched your video! in my opinion, your advise are way better and trustworthy than any fancy brands!
their retinol cream is amazing, the A-passioni. Worked wonders on my skin. IT was helpful to hear more about the otehr products too. I also liked the B hydra serum, but he price is a bit too high for what it is.
Wow! I didn't jump around because I wanted to hear all that you had to say about DE. Thank you for breaking it all down and even going so far as to buy the products and use them, too. You are so helpful and informative! I believe that we all are becoming better consumers because of all the work that you do. Thank you, Dr. Dray! ♥
Thank you so much for taking the time to do such an in depth review. I feel like such an empowered consumer now and judge all products throughly before shelling out any cash.
Girl you spend $800 on this product line? Well, I certainly will not be using it but I do want to thank you for this extremely thorough review for those who are considering it. For myself I have adopted a very minimalistic skin care routine which I feel like is working just fine for me. On a lighter note what is your candle of the week? I’m on cranberry.
Wow you did it 😀, the intoxicated pachyderm. You will please a lot of people with this review doc ! I haven't got to the end of the video yet but even if there were some good products the price means I'm not likely to buy any of it. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos and going into Sephora too, I'm surprised you didn't spontaneously combust 😂 x
ever since I started using it I can't live without it! my skin just isn't the same when I don't use it, even when I try to replace it nothing works as good
arianna hyatt totally agree, I’ve always suffered from terrible dry skin especially on my cheeks and it seriously rescued my skin. Haven’t had any issues since I started using the cream
Yes, I don’t like the fact they want you to mix their other products with each other. Costing so much already, they should have all the ingredients in each product already.
Hands down the most thorough, informative, unbiased and honest review from a truly trusted source!!! I hear way too many glowing reviews about this brand that in itself lends to suspicion, so this was so refreshing. Thanks again Dr. Dray for another amazing video!! I'm so glad to have found your channel😙
I love the olay stuff, made my skin so gloooowy and healthy looking. But not within my budget atm. Just wish they left out the fragrance from their luminous line too.
Thanks for the extensive and honest review, Dr. Dray! I think Drunk Elephant is too overpriced and over-hyped brand and I`m glad there are still people on the internet who have some integrity and critical thinking!
Dr. Dray, do you have any videos on PCOS related acne? Also, thank you for pointing out that people with bee allergies can be sensitive to honey. I am very sensitive to honey, especially on my skin. I've always assumed it was because I'm allergic to bees. No one I've talked to about it has ever heard of a correlation. You validated my suspicion.
Thank you for doing this review. I will note that serums are intended to be used underneath moisturizers. They are not complete in their ability to prevent trans epidermal water loss.
I saw on realself Dr David Lim recommended the Obagi Hydrate Moisturiser for mixing with Retin A. I've been using it myself, and have had next to zero irritation on Retin A.
fraze1 I have used Obagi for almost a year. I know my opinion doesn’t matter but although it is fine I don’t know if I would say it is life changing, and for the price it should be life changing IMO. One product I really hated of their’s is a day lotion called “exoderm” I believe. It is meant to exfoliate but I found it just sits on the surface and then rubs off in little peeling pieces. That is the only one I have a strong opinion about.
Coffee and Doctor Dray! It’s going to be a good day. I’ve been waiting for this review. I love that you break everything down in the ingredients and site actual clinic studies to explain how these products work. That makes it possible for me, a layman and consumer, to understand what I’m purchasing and what it will do for me. I’ve been very interested in trying drunk elephant, and I have seen a lot of praise for the products, but I made a promise to myself to wait for your opinion on the brand. As per usual, you do not disappoint. I will give the Protini and B Hydra a try, as I am prone to extremely dry and dull skin. I will stick to Cera Ve for my cleansers, sunscreen, and lip products though. As for a skin oil, I’ll stay with my tried and true 10 dollar, cold pressed, organic Rosehip oil for added moisture and anti-inflammatory properties. My bank account and sensitive skin are forever grateful.
I soooooooo appreciate you for all the time and money you put into doing these for us. I’m on a serious budget I can’t waste a single dollar. You have saved me SO MUCH MONEY AND TIME THANK YOU.
Brad Deprise I have this and use it sporadically. I don’t hate it but don’t use it very often. It kind of smells weird. I use the TNS eye cream and it’s great. Their hyaluronic acid is nice. The doctor’s office told me to mix with water so I would use less and it would still be effective. I would buy it again. The texture is amazing. It’s very expensive but I like it.
I got a sample of SM's Dermal Repair cream. I noticed significant improvement in the appearance of my skin immediately. Can't spend $130 bucks, but boy am I tempted. Living in a cold climate, a 55yo with dry skin. I, too, am interested in a SM review. I like their sunscreen Total Defense and Repair...also pricey. Generally am at the LRP and Elta MD price point for products. Remain very impressed with SM and wondering if worth the price. Hope she considers it eventually.
@@jessicacastellon7659 She basically says they are a waste of money because they are just another type of moisturizer. Also, a lot of them have essential oils and other skin irritants that are touted as being beneficial but in reality do more harm than good.
You are the absolute best! I love the fact that you’re honest and just don’t give positive raving reviews about sponsored products. Not to forget that you do know your stuff. I can trust you with my life. My skin has done wonders since I started following your advise. You’re a beautiful person in and out who takes out precious time to help others. I really really appreciate it. Thank you so much.
Your one brand overviews and ‘shop with me’ videos that you put out are my favorites!! So much great info I have been interested in Jordan Samuel Skin Care, and I was wondering if you have heard of it or had any thoughts on the brand that you could share in a video? Thanks so much!
The DE vitamin C serum actually worked really well for me. Within about 2 weeks I saw a lot of clearing/fading of my mild melasma on my face. they did slightly change the formula around the time this video was uploaded. I don't really use any of the other products, but the C Firma I love.
PLEASE review Biossance! They pride themselves on being very eco-friendly and extremely backed by science and I have done some research and they, for the most part, do match their claims... They blacklist over 2,000 ingredients in comparison to like 16 blacklisted by the U.S.! Although I am a little skeptical about probiotics in our products. I don't think they make much of a difference. Is it worth it?
I have tried numerous DE products over the last few years and really haven’t been impressed with anything I tried. I considered it overhyped, By the way, received your card Andrea. Thank you so much! Hope you have a great week. 🙂. Angie from Alaska
Dr Dray an hour of you is worth every moment I can’t believe you stepped foot into Sephora now that’s taking one for the team now if you go to the Mac Counter my head will really spin lol you are the best
My acne finally subsided but I was left with brown hyperpigmentation on my face. I decided to get the Vitamin C serum from drunk elephant. 3-4 months into using it the dark spots have lightened significantly. I don’t use any other DE products but for me the vitamin c serum helped so much.
Now that you bought some of the range, are you going to be using anything from the range, or gifting some things to your mom? Just curious. If the oil doesn't work on the face, you can use it on your hair no problem. On freshly washed, damp hair, just a few drops, spread between palms and smoothed over the lengths ear down or just on the very ends. It's what I do with my oils (I have fingertip length wavy/curly hair).
your videos literally changed my life! i went to the drugstore with my best friend and helped her find face wash, body wash, moisturizer, and of course sunscreen all without fragrances and it’s all because of your videos! we just went through her shower and got rid of all those irritations in pretty packaging. thank you for all you do!
This tutorial is very interesting. Even if I don't buy this product, I like to come and see the ingredients and their effects on the skin. Drunk elephant is a very expensive brand. C firma day serum costs $100.00 Canadian Sephora. So I will continue with products that I can afford and that have everything we need in one product. Have a good day!
I use the b hydra gel, nightly with a moisturizer. I don’t use it alone ever it isn’t moisturizing enough. The marula oil is nice but I also only use it at night a couple times a week with my moisturizer as well. I don’t use the marula oil during the day ever because of the breaking up of other products you mentioned. I have recently been testing out the pink glycolic aha serum, I haven’t come to a conclusion on it yet. I know doing a review of these products had to be expensive for you, so thank you for taking the time to do so. It’s appreciated.
I love their Marula Oil, Cantaloupe wash, and Babyfacial! I do more acid masks like the Babyfacial instead of scrubs to exfoliate now, and it even removes my acne scars. Their eye cream is nice but super thick and shiny so it could only be used at night. The Lala Retro Cream kind of burns my face and doesn’t moisturize well for me, it would be much better for oily skin since it’s PH Balanced to not become oily on the skin
I've never stepped foot in a Ulta or Saphora, let alone even heard of this Drunk Elephant line, I know gasp lol. Happy with my Cerave foaming wash and Cerave mostuirser in a tub. Biopsy went very well today. My Radiologist and her Technician had amazing bed side manner and answered all of my questions. Happy Monday to Dr. Dray and everyone on this channel ♡
cara acevedo I am soo glad everything went well for you today Sweetie! I just can't stress this enough that I am here for you!! You are in my thoughts and prayers, and not just me but alot of us are praying for you!! Just know you can write me, and I will help you if you feel you need to talk! Thank you for letting us know how things went! Please keep us informed if you don't mind! I am sending you much love!!
@@amandaf5664 I'm amazed at how little pain I have, nothing am ice pack can't handle. I'm blessed to have the option of working from home, so that is what I'll being doing tomorrow. Just taking it easy today.
Thanks so much for reviewing drunk elephant!! Yay! I took your advice and changed my skincare to no fragrance and I've been using cerave face wash and moisturizer and also started differin and I'm loving it!!!! Thanks for your honesty and insight!! 😘
Please review the whole line of Hada Labo. I know you reviewed some of them but in Japan, they have more products, you can see in their website. They have a line for discoloration where they use Arbutin. I was blown away when I tried their regular moisturizing line. In addition to the gel, they also have a moisturizing cream I don’t think you reviewed that or maybe I missed it.
@Dr Dray Okay, Doc. You’ve convinced me!💖 No more wasting $$$$ on the DE C-Firma Vit C! That was the last expensive product I was using. No more unnecessary spending of my $$$$! Thank you so very much for testing the products with your own funds! ❤️
lindi hlongwane Hi lindi! Not so wonderful😉...getting the house in shape for my “atheist” Christmas!😂 I’m exhausted!🤤🥴😉. I miss you all so much! I should be back by the end of the week.🙌🏻 Woohoo! 🥳 🎉 I hope you’re having a great time! Let everyone know I’m missing them like crazy and that includes you.❤️🥰🤗🤪🦋🦄🎄🌴🐚🌸💖😘
Yay! Thank you so much for your review! Also, thank you for purchasing the items. When I asked for the review, I did not think about the “purchasing part of it” 😳so thank you for that as well. You surpassed my expectations through teaching me even more about ingredients. I consider myself a educated person that unfortunately has fallen for expensive hyped up skincare which is why I adore your channel! I can tell you keep true to yourself and your channel radiates truth, which is refreshing these days! Thanks again!
Very disappointed in the TLC Framboos info. I thought I was getting a good Night Serum for what it's advertised to do. So basically 1% salicylic acid for $90 30ml., that's outrageous.
@@Sebadoh1994 I use their gel cleanser, protini moisturizer, framboos serum and their retinol cream. Its been over a year and I get compliments all the time and asked how come I have 0 wrinkles at almost 40. My skin loves their products and people always assume I'm in my early 20s! 💜
Thank you for the amazing review. If you did this for other brands, a deep dive on the entire line, I would watch the entire video for sure. I learned so much!
I never knew fruit extracts count as fragrances which now makes sense why I always develop a pimple or two when I use the jelly cleanser! Thank you so much
Wow. You really did your homework. Thank you for your review on this brand. I personally do not use it but appreciate your thoughts. I am a mature over 50's gal and I would like your thoughts on the "medical strength" brands skinmedica and skinceuticals. They are so costly and would love to know if their products are worth the investment. HA, Vit C, Skin Medica has a peptide collagen product as well. They are claimed to penetrate the skin barrier I believe. Thank you again! Have a great day!😊
My boyfriend and I both use the protini moisturizer and we love it! It keeps me hydrated and for some reason has helped my acne, if you see this, do you know why or what ingredients would cause it to help my hormonal acne? When I ran out and used another moisturizer for a few days I noticeably got more pimples. However, this is the only DE product I will buy- I love it though!
Hi! I got my sample from Sephora that included the Protini moisturizer (15ml size). I have awful hormonal acne on my chin and I have to say that since I started using it, no new breakouts!! I have struggled for 3 years and spent thousands of dollars on skincare and this is the first time I haven’t broken out and it’s been 15 days since I started using it. I would get breakouts EVERY SINGLE DAY. I would love to know what is in this that would help my acne calm down?! :)
I constantly look out for as much information in relation to how an ingredient works and I am glad I have found another platform that provides great review and explanation about active ingredients, review of products containing them and how they could work.
Thank you! There's so much "woo" and pseudo-science in cosmetics and skincare! I feel that so many companies--Drunk Elephant included--claim to be safer because they are "natural" or free of some potentially irritating ingredient, but it's actually just a marketing ploy. (Tangentially related: It also drives me CRAZY when companies claim to make a product for sensitive skin, and I find fragrance and essential oils in the ingredient list!!)
Very very very helpful. For average consumers looking for new skin care products, we don’t necessarily know all what will happen with these products. Considering the high prices of drunk elephant, hearing a logical review from a dermatologist is extremely helpful. Thank you for saving me from spending so much money on these products
