About this deal

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. But there was a big section of reviewers who complained that it left them with dry, flaky, peeling skin – a common side-effect of using retinol, especially in high doses. And A-Passioni Retinol Cream has a whopping 1.0% Retinol concentration. Very careful usage of what is potentially a very strong product that can irritate the skin. I did not slap it on, as I usually do with a new product, and I was careful to take it slow and steady. 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. Vitamin F: Soothing fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic) work to improve skin’s texture and suppleness and help calm signs of sensitivity.

Otherwise, here’s the other thing you need to know about 1.0% Retinol – It is very very strong. VERY. STRONG. Proceed with caution.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; The texture of the cream is very comfortable, for me, and it sinks right into my skin when I apply. I usually squeeze out just a little bit (a pea size will do) and then apply it using the 13-dot technique.

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. 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. 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.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. I was curious therefore, how I’d take to the product. Would I love it, or would it leave my skin a mess? Curious minds had to know! 😀 Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream 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 Also, understand that this isn’t something you apply on your skin and forget about it. You must be in tune with your skin, so you notice when something goes wrong, or when it goes right. And at the end of the day, patience is key 🙂

Vitamin F: Soothing fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic) work to improve skin’s texture and suppleness and help soothe skin. 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?

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. After the first month, I noticed that my skin did look better. It was smoother to the touch, and visibly the texture was better. My fine lines were less noticeable, and my pigmentation looked lighter. On the last point however, I will discount it a little, for it was a benefit of being forced to stay indoors for about 2.5 months, with little sun exposure.

About halfway through the 2nd month, I started using Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream every other night, still neat. I continued reaping the benefits of using it, and my skin looked good. I was impressed, and I continue to be impressed.
