Mongongo Oil: Rich in vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids (predominately linoleic and oleic), mongongo oil is a soothing and super-moisturising oil. If there was one type of product that took the beauty community by storm this past year, it was chemical exfoliation. Alpha hydroxy acids and Beta hydroxy acids have become the new standard for soothing out the skin and removing that layer of dead skin cells. But none of these products had quite as much hype behind them as the Sukari Baby Facial from Drunk Elephant. Containing almost every AHA and BHA available, this formula is widely considered the ultimate acid exfoliating treatment. But is it really worth the hype? In this Drunk Elephant review, we’re looking into the brand behind this product, as well as their formula to give you an idea of what to expect.

The Babyfacial dupe has an even higher concentration of exfoliating acids and is less than 1/10 of the price of Drunk Elephant. Marula Butter: A super-pure concentrated butter derived from marula oil, rich in antioxidant polyphenols, lipids and fatty acids, that intensely moisturises both skin and hair. No time to go see your esthetician for a facial? Then it may be time to add the Drunk Elephant Baby Facial into your routine. This at-home facial is recommended to be used weekly to smooth texture while minimizing the look of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. The formula features high concentrations of the exfoliating alpha and beta hydroxy acids (25% AHA and 2% BHA). that is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libellous, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any individual, partnership or corporation;

Slightly thinner in texture than Drunk Elephant’s, this oil is almost an exact dupe (although I do find Drunk Elephant’s option has a slightly smoother finish, possibly down to the filtration system used).

Offered here in its purest, cold-pressed form, Drunk Elephant claims the omega 9 here (oleic acid) is what makes this one of the most effective face oils for *all* skin types because it absorbs easily.

What to Look For in Drunk Elephant Products It’s lightweight gel-cream texture makes Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream a good option for all skin types — even those with acne-prone skin — since the formula is non-comedogenic (won’t clog your pores). However, we noticed that this cream doesn’t absorb very fast. But give it time because once it absorbs, your skin will feel hydrated and supple without any greasy residue. Drunk Elephant C Firma Day SerumThis rinse-off weekly treatment is formulated to reduce congestion, textural irregularities, blemishes, uneven skin tone, and the signs of aging. Among Drunk Elephant’s (now pretty large) range of products, this oil stands out as something of a flagship- since it’s the myth that elephants get sozzled after eating fruit from the Marula tree that gives the company its name. Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water is formulated to thoroughly and gently remove makeup, dirt, pollution, and bacteria from the face and eye area without sensitization, irritation, or stripping the skin’s acid mantle. It has a milky texture due to the combination of moisturizing ceramides, plant oils, and vitamin E. The formula features a “micellar cleansing blend”, which is a mix of gentle surfactants and emollients that help to capture and wash away dirt, pollution, and other impurities. Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water also helps to replenish the skin barrier due to ceramides AP, NP, and EOP. Derived from plant sources, these ceramides are identical to the wax-like moisturizing substance that occurs naturally in skin. Ceramides strengthen the skin barrier, thereby helping to soothe and maintain the moisture balance of skin while protecting against water loss. Lastly, Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water contains a blend of unique botanical oils, including marula, mongongo, baobab, and passionfruit oil. It is formulated with 15% l-ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C), 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% vitaminE to brighten, smooth, and firm the skin.

Particularly well-suited to anyone who wants to add a highly moisturising step to their winter routine, this will also work well for those faced with pollution or UV on a regular basis who wants a little extra antioxidant protection. Argan Oil: Mainly a source of lipids and fatty acids – particularly omega 6 (aka linoleic) and omega 9 (oleic) – argan oil has a richer texture, making it particularly beneficial for moisturising skin and hair. In hair care, argan coats the shaft, providing shine while helping to condition and resist the damage caused by heat-styling tools.It is formulated with Olay’s Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, a fragment of collagen Type 1 that is supposed to reduce fine lines, and wrinkles and improve your skin’s texture in a similar way that retinol does. The lightweight serum contains the peptide polyglutamic acid. This acid is related to hyaluronic acid but has more powerful water-binding properties.
