Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Anti-Wrinkle Cream. Brightening, Restorative and Vegan Face Cream with Vitamin F. 1 Ounce

While I’m a little new to skincare I’ve been doing a lot of research. So far I think I really like this, though it is a bit pricey. My skin seems a little drier than before, so I am working on finding the right moisturizer/smoothie to balance it all out. I do see a cleaner complexion!IMPORTANT NOTW: Be careful not to mix certain other skincare products or ingredients with it (no matter what the website may say!).To be helpful, I have made a list of things NOT to mix at the same time and important tips.However, to be sure, ask a professional dermatologist:•DO NOT MIX:-RETINOL should not be mixed with: Vitamin C, Vitamin E, AHA/BHA or Benzol Peroxide.-AHA/BHA should not be mixed with: Retinol, Vitamin C or Niacinamide (and possibly peptides but I am not 100% sure on that).-VITAMIN C should not be mixed with Retinol, AHA/BHA or Niacinamide.-VITAMIN E should not be mixed with Retinol.-NIACINAMIDE should not be mixed with AHA/BHA or Vitamin C-BENZOYL PEROXIDE should not be mixed with Retinol.NOTE: Both Retinol and AHA/BHA can be very helpful for various skin issues. While you should not MIX them, you can switch between them (example: Monday for Retinol, Tuesday for AHA/BHA, etc) nightly once your skin has been safely worked up to tolerating these more intense skin remedies. Do not try to do this all at once, right off the bat.•SUN AND CARE:-While the Drunk Elephant website doesn’t always address this, in most cases RETINOL and AHA/BHA should be used at night as they cause sensitivity to the sun that can damage skin. I don’t know if applying sunscreen will fully keep your skin safe (not to mention all the reapplying). While you *may* be able to use it if you’re staying indoors, do understand that harmful rays can enter the home, car and workplace through windows. If you’re going to experience sun, regardless of what you do or do not put on your skin, an SPF of at least 30 should be an everyday routine (with reapplying).As for if you stay indoors, away from windows, one would assume hanging out in a dark room all day would suffice, but I’m no expert.-So it’s beat to use Retinol and AHA/BHA at night and wash it off in the morning. A cream or serum containing Vitamin C thrives off sunlight, so that is best to use in the daytime.•IF YOU OVERDO THE SKIN TREATMENTS AND YOUR SKIN IS FEELING DRY OR IRRITATED: Take a break from the harsh products and use very gentle ones for a little bit. Particularly CERAMIDES. These are gentle and help your skin to heal, calm and moisturize your skin. I personally have used (and liked) “Good Cera Super Ceramide Emulsion (pH 5.5 / 7 free)” which is a nice, gentle moisturizer. There are also things like ceramide masks that can help.

I was hesitant to purchase a product like this, not knowing the manufacturer, but I was VERY pleasantly surprised to find that it is awesome! I did notice some flaking on my face after about two weeks, but from what I read, this is normal. The flaking stopped after a few days. What I noticed only after a few days was that my face appeared brighter and it appeared to look more healthy and not so tired and drained looking. I will continue to use this product for a long time! Worth every dollar spent!

At $75 a pop I was reluctant to buy this product. It had been sitting in my cart for weeks after I read about it in Allure, then saw Sam Irby talk about it on A Cup of Jo. But I’m 44 my skin is changing (not for the better), and I had $30 in Prime rewards, so I took a calculated risk, and holy forking shirtballs, THIS STUFF WORKS. There was visible change (less redness, smoother texture, more brightness) the morning after the FIRST USE. I mix it with the hydration serum, use it every other day, and haven’t had any irritation at all, while my skin continues to even out in tone, improve in texture, and generally look much healthier. Is this what happens when you upgrade from stuff you can get at Rite-Aid? Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner??

Expensive an doesn’t last that long. Used to lighten freckles, light wrinkles an light shadow on face. Works good but need to use daily. Can acheive same thing with TCA acids and other retinol.

I’ve only used doctor-sold products over the past 10 years, but I decided to give this a try due to its award winning reviews. So far so good. It works as good if not better than other brands and is less expensive. I’m on my second week, so time will tell if it poops out. So far I’m happy for trying something new and I don’t have to pay the expensive rates at my doctor office.

I like the retinol. However, the packaging is tragic. Product won't stop coming out due to the way it's designed, and so much has been wasted because of this. I would shop elsewhere

He usado variedad de retinol y quería este y es excelente

I was looking forward to trying this product and was glad it was available on Amazon. It shipped quickly and arrived well packaged.I really like this product and I find it effective in leaving my skin bright, clear, and soft. I started to use it once a week to prevent irritation from sensitivity, but hasn't irritated me at all. I feel it is gentle so I use it three times a week now. Even in a short time I find a difference in my skin texture. It is much more even and it is gradually lightening a melasma spot on my nose which is what I was hoping for. As far as decreasing wrinkles, that will probably take more time and perhaps increasing how many times I use it per week. I am happy with the overall results.A tip for dispensing-when dispensing, be careful and gently squeeze a pea size amount. Be careful when squeezing because the product does keep coming out because of the tube. I squeeze a very little at a time and cap it quickly and that has helped me from wasting any product.
