What should I try from Drunk Elephant?

Yahooey — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:23:35 GMT

I received a coupon from Sephora and thought I'll give this line a try. I have learned of the brand from these forums with regard to their Vit C. I have very dry sensitive skin. What do you like and don't like?

TIA

I am 81 with good skin. I tried the Peeke bar and loved it. You need no other cleanser. It is expensive, but lasts a long time.

@Yahooey, my own personal experience with their Vit C was not a good one. I had been using a fairly potent one from another brand, so it wasn't as if I were a newbie. But after a few days of using the Drunken Elephant serum, I developed peeling and redness on my nose. I returned it.

I use and like the Glycolic Night Serum, however, I have a different skin type than you so not sure if it would be irritating to dry, sensitive skin. I would suggest using Sephora's site to restrict to items just for your skin type and check the reviews. I think most of their products get good reviews and you can always return it if you don't like it.

Good luck!

Have been using their C Firma for over a year and have very dry skin. This is a very nice product which gets high marks from beauty experts. The price may seem steep but you only need to use it every 3 days. Not a fan of their SPF. It doesn't blend and is literally a mess a use. Their Retro Whipped Face Cream (not the exact name) is also very nice for dry skin. Plus it's not an open jar so the ingredients are protected.

@Yahooey

I have used their Vit C for about a year also, and really like it.

To dip your toe in, so to speak, you might like the:

BABY JUJU + BABY PEKEE travel duo $18.00

This is their AM and PM bar soap in what they call travel format. However, although the bars are small @ 2" X 2" they are hard milled and last a good long time. I have enjoyed using them.

I really like the face exfoliator. I believe it is called "Baby Face". Not harsh but leaves my skin smooth and soft. I do use most of this line and am not disappointed with anything. There are some kits on Sephora that would be good for trying the products.

By the way I am 63 with normal/dry skin.

I have been using their vitamin c for maybe 2 years and I love it. It gives me a glow and I like the ingredients. I also like their sunscreen for when I'm not wearing makeup.

I've used the Vitamin C Serum, the Hyrda-B moisturizer and the Lala Retro face cream. I liked everything that i used. The Hydra-B moisturizer worked great for me in the summer, but wasn't enough for my drier winter skin. This brand is a little more pricy but their products work for me. As much as I liked the moisturizers I didn't think they delivered anything more than what I was using. The Vitamin C serum is one I will not be without.

My skin leans towards dry(especially in the winter) and I tried their facial cleansing bars and it dried my skin out. I also have very sentive skin. I have been using their c-firma day serum, and Shaba complex eye serum for about 6 months without any problems.
