We Reviewed Every Best Drunk Elephant Product – These Ones Worked And Are Worth Every Penny

Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says, 'Don't be fooled by the sweet name and cute packaging, because this resurfacing treatment is as potent and transformative as you'd expect from a product that promises to banish stubborn, dull and uneven skin concerns. Packed with a serious cocktail of 25% AHA and 2% BHA blend of glycolic, tartaric, lactic, citric and salicylic acids, this at-home facial equivalent deeply exfoliates for baby smooth skin (hence the name) while still managing to respect skin sensitivity. That said, do conduct a patch test before you get to work.'

A verified review**: ‘I was tentative to try knowing that it might be quite harsh on my skin but boy do I love this product! Makes my skin look the best it ever has done, especially when followed by the Marula oil. Love!!’

Marina Avraam, deputy commerce editor, says: 'Internet-breaking, TikTok-making and all-round groundbreaking, the Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops, £33, have made quite the impression on the beauty community over the past couple of years. The liquid gold drops went viral on TikTok when thousands of beauty influencers (notably Alix Earle) revealed their sun-kissed glow after mixing a few drops of the D-Bronzi liquid into their moisturiser. And, apart from giving the skin a literal glow-up, the drops are also packed with antioxidants and omega fatty acids, which protect your skin from environmental pollutants.'

A verified review: ‘Can mix with foundation or use as primer. Lovely product to add into my routine. Feels luxurious on the skin and gives healthy glow’

Georgia Scott, beauty & fashion product writer, says: 'A creamy, buttery formula made perfectly to suit both dry and oily skin types. Simply add the exfoliant into your cleanser twice a week to remove dead skin cells and leave your skin looking radiant and healthy.'

A verified review:**’ This is a wonderful fragrance free balm. I have sensitive skin that I have to be cautious with but I have no problems using this. It’s amazing at getting makeup off with. Highly recommend.’

Joely Walker, head of beauty, says: 'For me, Vitamin C serum is like toothpaste – I won't leave the house without using it. Emphatic, I know – but in my remit as a beauty director I've had it drilled into me by every derm in the business as the holy grail in antioxidant protection. With a level of 15% l-ascorbic acid and 0.5% ferulic acid, you can rest assured that this going to deliver the goods (the goods being protection against all the cr*p that gets thrown our skin's way on a daily basis, such as pollution, UV damage etc). Added vitamin E also makes it an option for sensitive skin types – although it's always advisable to do a patch test with any active if you have super reactive skin (something I personally contend with). As for the formula: I'm not crazy about the scent, but that's something I frankly couldn't give a monkey's about after trying the super lightweight formula that sinks into skin in seconds without feeling in the slightest sticky. It even lends skin a little glow from the get-go. Sold.'

A verified review:** ‘I've bought this quite a few times now because it's great. It sits perfectly under make up, no pilling at all, and gives a subtle glow. It contains the magic trilogy of vitamin C and vitamin E plus ferulic acid, so an antioxidant power house. I wouldn't want it to be any more expensive though!’

Georgia Scott, beauty & fashion product writer, says: 'This super buttery, rich cream is jam packed full of skin-loving ingredients to treat, target, repair and restore. Made with luxurious glucosyl ceramides and a blend of zinc and copper salt minerals to strengthen the skin's barrier and help the skin to produce collagen, lipids and hyaluronic acid.'

A verified review: ’This is amazing for my sensitive skin. Doesn't irritate my skin. And lasts a few months! It is a tad expensive for a small pot, I wish they'd make it bigger! Or a refill version.’

Hannah Coates, former beauty editor at Grazia, says: 'When it comes to my skincare routine, the only rule I live and die by is that the simpler my routine, the better my skin will be; I want minimal product with maximum effect and that's why I am loving the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel. The brand's website – temptingly - describes it as a 'cool glass of water for thirsty skin' and that's exactly as it feels. Thanks to the texture, which is a light gel serum, it feels refreshing when applied, rather than heavy or cloying, making it perfect for even the oiliest skins (mine is somewhere in between combination and oily). The Vitamin B5 in the formula is a humectant which means that it will help the skin hold on to water while fortifying its barrier; to you and me that means healthy, strong and most importantly (or vainly) plump and smooth, glowing skin. Other ingredients, like Barberry, help soothe the skin and for someone whose skin can get pretty annoyed at the smallest of additions to the 'routine', this is a major plus. Even better, you don't need 8 cups a day to hydrate, just a couple of pumps and you're good to go: done.'

A verified review: ‘I have experimented with lots of moisturising and/or hyaluronic acid serums over the years. I always come back to this one. It is very nourishing and goes on smoothly. I mix it with the vitamin c serum during the day. Always leaves my skin smooth and glowing.’

Emma Stoddart, former beauty writer at Grazia, says: 'I'm putting it down to the change in weather, but recently I've noticed a splurge of under skin bumps making their way across my forehead and jawline. Chatting to my fellow journo friend and beauty-junkie, she suggested I try Drunk Elephant's T.L.C Framboos Glycolic Night Serum. Packed with a powerful punch of AHAs including glycolic, lactic, citric and salicylic acids the serum works hard to lift dead skin cells and resurface texture. And it's working. In just over a week my skin feels notably smoother and more luminous. I'm recommending this one to everyone.'

A verified review: ‘I’ve tried a lot of different serums and acids and after a sample of this I had to repurchase. It leaves my skin really smooth and helps with age spots and blemishes alike. Light texture, you only need a tiny amount and for me there has been no irritation.’

Renee Washington digital fashion & beauty assistant says, ‘The price tag is quite a jump scare, but this cream packs a serious punch because it’s laced with actives that penetrate the skin. My skin felt bouncier and looked smoother, almost like it had a healthy glow I hadn’t seen in a while. It’s one of those products I hate to love.’

A verified review: ‘Love that its full of actives in an airless jar. Love that it sinks in after a few mins. Love that it keeps me moisturised all day. Don’t love the price though!’
