The only downside? Retinol can often lead to side effects like skin dryness, peeling, and irritation. Next, vitamin F is full of soothing fatty acids. The fatty acids are good for improving the texture of the skin as well as restoring suppleness. Drunk Elephant Juju Exfoliating Bar is a mild, fragrance- and soap-free facial bar that is formulated to deeply cleanse and exfoliate the skin, which helps to refine skin texture, brighten skin clarity, and minimize the look of pores. Unlike traditional bars of soap, which have a pH level of 9 or above, Drunk Elephant Juju Exfoliating Bar has an ideal pH level of 6.34, ensuring sufficient cleansing without drying or stripping the skin of its protective barrier. The bar creates a creamy lather that dissolves unwanted oil, rinsing away pore-clogging surface debris and any impurities. One of the key ingredients in this bar is bamboo powder, which is composed of tiny, smooth spheres that gently exfoliate away dead, dry skin. Lastly, Drunk Elephant Juju Exfoliating Bar contains thermal mud to tone the skin and marula oil to hydrate, nourish and rejuvenate skin.

Since its inception, Drunk Elephant’s A-Passioni Retinol Cream has gained a loyal fan following because of its use of vegan retinol as an active ingredient, which is synthesized from plants, or plant sources only. The texture of the product is a lightweight cream that is bright yellow. The tube is an aluminium tube, and for some reason, I find the pressure very strong, so you can’t really stop the cream from extruding out from the hole. It’s quite disconcerting, because it ends up being a little messy, and there is wastage. 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 One thing I don’t love is the scent. It kind of smells like plastic, which is maybe because of the tube that it’s in. Definitely not a fan of that.

Firmer, smoother skin with fewer signs of aging.

But if you’re ready for this strength, get ready to reap the benefits because there’s a lot! Drunk Elephant says that their 1% Retinol concentration is that of a ‘vegan retinol’. Personally, I don’t quite understand what a ‘vegan retinol’ is, for retinol is chemically derived, and by that token, is vegan. A nice play to the vegan crowd, marketing wise. To anyone wanting to try this, I say you MUST start out by buffering it, preferably by mixing it with a moisturizer, and by sandwiching it with moisturizing products, so your skin is kept comfortable.
