DRUNK ELEPHANT A-Passioni Retinol Cream

Product Information

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.

Vitamin F: Soothing fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic) work to improve skin’s texture and suppleness and help calm signs of sensitivity. 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! 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.

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? 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 🙂 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

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.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. 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. Otherwise, here’s the other thing you need to know about 1.0% Retinol – It is very very strong. VERY. STRONG. Proceed with caution. use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity. 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.
