I've spent a majority of my life battling hormonal acne and trying to combat breakouts. For so long, I used all the wrong products, but eventually, I was introduced to Drunk Elephant and fell in love with its hydrating serum [1]. Since then, I've been a total convert, and I love a number of the brand's bestsellers. I'm not alone, either; its massive following and ever-evolving product line is continuously growing. A number of my friends and coworkers often ask me about the brand and if it's actually worth the hype. So if you're wondering the same, then you've come to the right place.
Ahead, I curated a list of a few of my absolute must haves in addition to some of its top-rated picks. I've tried almost every product in the line and have been super impressed with the results. The brand only uses ingredients backed by scientific research to improve your skin, which makes the splurge easier to justify. Keep reading to shop everything from its newest face mask [2] to its most popular serum — you won't regret it.
Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum
This Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum [4] (£40) is hands down my favourite product and the one that sold me on the brand. I love using the lightweight formula as a moisturiser, and it's one of the only things that's helped my hormonal acne. Read my full review here [5].
Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Moisturiser
This Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream [6] (£57) is currently a bestseller on Sephora. I love using it when my skin is extra dry and needs a little pick-me-up. Plus it doesn't break me out, so win-win. Read my full review here [7].
Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask
I'm a longterm fan of the Babyfacial mask, but this brand-new Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask [8] (£44) might just be my new go-to. My skin has taken a serious hit with dry patches this Winter, especially due to aeroplane travel. After my first use of this mask my skin felt instantly revived, evened out, and softer than ever. It's definitely a new must, especially postflight.
Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser
Finding a clean face wash that actually works is a lot easier said than done. This Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser [9] (£27) is one of my top picks, because it actually takes my makeup off and without stripping my skin of its natural moisturiser. If you have sensitive skin, then it's definitely a solid choice, because it's 100 percent free of essential oils, silicones, and fragrance.
Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum
The Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum [10] (£76) is one of the brand's most-hyped products, and it's well worth it if you're looking for something to transform your skin. The serum is a blend of 12 percent exfoliating AHAs and BHAs that are hard at work resurfacing the skin while you sleep. It's helped tons of reviewers keep their dry skin at bay, while reducing the size of pores.
Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum
If you've got pesky dark spots, try the Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum [11] (£67). This serum is loaded with vitamin C and other antioxidants, which have greatly improved my postinflammatory pigmentation.
Drunk Elephant The Littles Set
If you're just not sure where to start at all, then consider investing in this Drunk Elephant The Littles Set [12] (£71) to try the products. Not only is it a great chance to trial them, but the small sizes are also easy to take on planes.
