Would I love it, or would it leave my skin a mess? Curious minds had to know! 😀 Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream

For this reason, I do not personally recommend the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream for beginners. I’d peg this as one for someone who is familiar with using retinol, comfortable with it, and who understands their skin.I only used the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream 2-3 times a week, at night only, for the first 2 weeks. I was being very cautious! Retinol works to restore bounce and resilience while helping to even skin tone and texture. This formula includes vitamin F, along with a curated blend of passionfruit, apricot, and jojoba oils to replenish essential lipids and moisture. Virgin Marula Oil: This super-absorbable oil, high in critical antioxidants and omegas 6 and 9, helps moisturize and nourish skin for a youthful glow.

Personally, I feel that a tube with a pointed dispensing nozzle might be a better option with this product.

Because I was so careful with how I used it, I find that 1 tube can go a long long way! These photos were taken just yesterday, and the tube looks barely used. The Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream is a retinol cream with a high 1.0% retinol concentration. This can be abrasive and irritating to those with sensitive skin. Always start slowly, and buffer with moisturizing products. I personally did not experience any down time nor down side to using the cream. I started off very slowly with a buffer the first week, before using it neat on my skin thereafter. I also only used it 2-3 times a week for the first month, before slowly increasing the frequency. I now use this on alternate days, always with a good top-up of facial oil and moisturizer, and it’s treating my skin well. My skin is texturally finer, smoother, and fine lines are noticeably reduced. I did notice a fading of some sun spots, but that was coupled with being indoors for most of 2.5 months, so it is hard to say what worked. A good product, but not for the impatient or for those new to using retinol. Restore bounce and clarity to the skin with the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni™ Retinol Cream, a cutting-edge face cream that combines 1.0% retinol with superfood-rich ingredients. This cream works to diminish the appearance of fine lines and damage cause by free radicals.

I started using the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream first mixed with B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum. This was to buffer the retinol, so it was not too harsh on my skin. I also used a facial oil every night, and a nice moisturizing cream on top to seal it off. Kale Leaf Extract: This superfood is loaded with essential vitamins A and E, supplying skin with powerful antioxidant compounds—think quercetin and beta carotene—along with replenishing plant sterols. Otherwise, here’s the other thing you need to know about 1.0% Retinol – It is very very strong. VERY. STRONG. Proceed with caution. Do note that despite any suggestion otherwise, you should not use a retinol with acids, nor in the day as it can cause your skin to be sensitive to the sun. Always use a good high SPF sunscreen when using a retinol. But then, you already do, don’t you? 😛 Have you tried the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream? Vitamin F: Soothing fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic) work to improve skin’s texture and suppleness and help soothe skin.Using it on alternate days keeps my skin smooth, clearer, and it almost feels firmer too. However, I now live a more active, perhaps even a healthier lifestyle, so an improved skin texture can also be attributed to that 🙂 A good product but not for newbies nor the impatient I will personally say that the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream is a good product. It is expensive, but it does work well, if you are prepared to accept that it will take time to show results, and work with it slowly and steadily. However, if you have never used a retinol cream or serum before this, I won’t recommend jumping straight into the deep-end with the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream. Start off with something lighter to get your skin accustomed to it, before going up the scale. Retinol: Retinol is one of the most well-researched ingredients in skincare, capable of bringing balance to any skin concern. At a 1.0% concentration, our pure form of vegan retinol can dramatically improve the look and feel of uneven skin tone and texture, as well as ward off the damage done from daily exposure to UV rays, pollution, or other free radicals.
