Sephora best-seller Drunk Elephant is finally landing on UK soil and according to MailOnline already has a whooping 16,000 person waiting list. But why the obsession? CEO Tiffany Materson searched high and low for a solution for her troublesome skin – but nothing would cut it.  So, she created Drunk Elephant – a range of 11 products harnessing clean, non-toxic ingredients which avoid any ‘question mark’ ingredients (i.e. silicones, alcohol, SLS). As for the name, when elephants eat Marula fruit (a key ingredient in the range) it ferments inside their tummies making them drunk! We love the story, we love the dinky grammable packaging, but we adore the products which do really work…

And if you're not sure where to start, here are the products from the range the beauty team are already obsessed with from the range...

Drunk Elephant C-Firmau2122 Day Serum FIRM + BRIGHTEN1 of 3

Joely Walker, Beauty and Health Director: Drunk Elephant C-Firma™ Day Serum FIRM + BRIGHTEN

_Best all-round wonder product_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.

Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel2 of 3

Hannah Coates, Beauty Editor: Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel

_Best for - combination and oily skin_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.

Drunk Elephantu2019s T.L.C Framboos Glycolic Night Serum3 of 3

Emma Stoddart, Beauty Writer: Drunk Elephant’s T.L.C Framboos Glycolic Night Serum

_Best for - dull, tired skin_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…
