Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil 15ml

Product Information

Among Drunk Elephant’s (now pretty large) range of products, this oil stands out as something of a flagship- since it’s the myth that elephants get sozzled after eating fruit from the Marula tree that gives the company its name. Retinol is the go-to anti-aging ingredient recommended by dermatologists and skin experts. Retinol is clinically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores. Containing just one ingredient- sclerocarya birrea seed oil (or Marula oil as it’s most commonly known)- this oil is high in antioxidants (to protect skin against free radical damage), as well as amino acids and essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6 and 9 to help repair and protect the skin’s moisture barrier). Drunk Elephant takes a “clean clinical” approach to skin care. Put another way, “a product is only as good as its worst ingredient.” Clean clinical means a commitment to only using ingredients that directly benefit the skin’s health or support the integrity and effectiveness of the formulations.

Drunk Elephant A Passioni Retinol Cream includes 1% retinol, which is a moderate strength when it comes to this ingredient, so this product may not be suitable for newbie retinol users.

It’s in Drunk Elephant C Firma Day Serum, along with additional antioxidants like ferulic acid and vitamin E.

And don’t forget that the Drunk Elephant Retinol Cream also contains a triple peptide blend that will help to stimulate collagen synthesis. The result? Firmer, smoother skin with fewer signs of aging. Plus, a blend of passionfruit, apricot, marula, and jojoba oils replenish essential lipids and moisture, while antioxidant-rich kale, winter cherry, and xanthophylls help defend against environmental free radicals. No wonder the Drunk Elephant Retinol Cream is one of the brand’s most popular products!

On its own when skin has been battered by too many retinols or acids (the soothing antioxidants and essential fatty acids here help to repair the skin’s natural barrier). Offered here in its purest, cold-pressed form, Drunk Elephant claims the omega 9 here (oleic acid) is what makes this one of the most effective face oils for *all* skin types because it absorbs easily. Shao Y, He T, Fisher GJ, Voorhees JJ, Quan T. Molecular basis of retinol anti-ageing properties in naturally aged human skin in vivo. Int J Cosmet Sci. 2017;39(1):56-65. doi:10.1111/ics.12348

That may make for a particularly high concentration of omega oils and antioxidants, but you may want to simply benefit from the general moisturising properties here without worrying too much about the exact quantities of the nutrients… So are there any cheaper dupes out there? Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer: With a smaller molecular weight than hyaluronic acid, this ingredient is able to deliver an excellent hydration and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting firmness. If there was one type of product that took the beauty community by storm this past year, it was chemical exfoliation. Alpha hydroxy acids and Beta hydroxy acids have become the new standard for soothing out the skin and removing that layer of dead skin cells. But none of these products had quite as much hype behind them as the Sukari Baby Facial from Drunk Elephant. Containing almost every AHA and BHA available, this formula is widely considered the ultimate acid exfoliating treatment. But is it really worth the hype? In this Drunk Elephant review, we’re looking into the brand behind this product, as well as their formula to give you an idea of what to expect. The formula includes 1% retinol, which is a moderate strength when it comes to this ingredient, so this product may not be suitable for newbie retinol users. But if you’re ready for this strength, get ready to reap the benefits because there’s a lot! Over time, my skin also feels generally more nourished and soothed (particularly useful for any sensitive skin moments like the change of seasons).

Drunk Elephant has received plenty of editorial coverage in publications such as Allure, New Beauty, Vogue and Refinery29 and has scooped up plenty of industry awards as well. The Drunk Elephant C Firma Day Serum won an Allure Best of Beauty Award in 2018, and a Reader’s Choice Award in 2019.

On my own skin, the result of all that goodness is the sort of yoga glow my dreams are made of- especially when mixed with a pump of D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops, the brand’s tinted antioxidant serum. There’s no such thing as a miracle treatment when it comes to combating age, though vitamin C comes pretty close. It’s a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radicals, helps fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, and increases radiance. As if that wasn’t enough, research suggests that when vitamin C is applied to the skin, it significantly reverses aging-related structural changes by influencing collagen and elastin synthesis. A vitamin C serum is the best way to deliver this active ingredient into the deeper layers of your skin.
