About this deal

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. If you are new to using retinol, I will suggest you build your tolerance up slowly with a product of a lower dosage, and not jump straight into the deep end. But that is your choice 🙂 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.

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 admit I was quite apprehensive when I first tried it, but it worked out well for me. It must be said however, I’m no novice, so your mileage will vary when using this – as with all skincare products 🙂 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.

Winter Cherry Juice: This extract comes from the seeds of the physalis fruit (not actually a cherry), a plant native to Egypt that contains more pollution-fighting antioxidant carotenoids than any other fruit or vegetable. 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. 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.

Personally, I feel that a tube with a pointed dispensing nozzle might be a better option with this product. While Drunk Elephant has added a host of other ingredients into the cream that help with buffering the retinol, it is still a strong retinol, and not one for beginners. Proceed with caution! that is, or may reasonably be considered to be submitted in extreme volumes and as such be deemed as ‘spam’; 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.

Pharmacy product

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!

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; 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. Passionfruit, Apricot and Jojoba Oils: These rich oils have moisturizing and skin-soothing benefits. 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 🙂

Otherwise, here’s the other thing you need to know about 1.0% Retinol – It is very very strong. VERY. STRONG. Proceed with caution. 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. 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. 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.
