A Guide to the Exact Drunk Elephant Products You Should Be Using For Your Skin Type

If you have dry skin, you should focus on one thing: hydration. Look for moisturising ingredients like B vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides. The Drunk Elephant products ahead pack a moisturising punch while also protecting the skin with a barrier to prevent the loss of said moisture.

This skin type is characterized by its overproduction of oil, so you'll want to use products that can help regulate sebum as well as address things like clogged pores, breakouts, and blackheads. A major thing that can help here is regularly exfoliating, especially with a BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) like salicylic acid. Because oily types sometimes avoid sunscreen because it feels too heavy on skin, you'll also want to load up on Drunk Elephant's lightweight, physical formula.

Combination skin can be tricky because it means you have both dry and oily areas to treat. For this reason, it's important to use products that create a nice balance: they should be able to cleanse your skin and unclog pores without leaving your skin feeling greasy. It's still important to exfoliate this skin type, so look for ingredients like glycolic acid, retinol (or gentler retinol alternatives, like in the case of Drunk Elephant's), or other AHAs.

Normal skin is exactly that: it's not too oily, not too dry. (Congratulations! You've hit the skin type lottery.) But that doesn't mean you should just be using any product on it, and instead you should look for what ingredients address your primary concerns. If it's pigmentation, look for products high in vitamin C. If it's fine lines, look for peptides and ceramides.
