DRUNK ELEPHANT A-Passioni Retinol Cream

Like an idiot-in fairness I’ve only ever used cheap retinol products -no issues but no change to my skin either! I slathered this retinol all over my face day and night-paying particular attention to my eye and marionette lines!!! The less improvement I saw the more I slathered!!! Rubbish I thought until around day 10 when I woke up looking around 120!!! Horrified at the state of my wrinkles and unbelievably dry skin skin, I googled ‘ Retinol Burn’!! Do not ignore instructions unless you want to see how you’ll look at 120! The terrible side effects of ignoring the instructions took at least 10 days to subside-I had to use copious amounts of Sudocrem!! I will, once healed, use a small amount of this retinol every other night-it may well be a miracle but treat it with the utmost respect!!!!!!

Good product. Read the instructions! Using every night as soon as you get this will burn and dry out your skin. Every 3rd night to start followed by a moisturiser. This works

The product sent was in a pump, not the tube as advertised. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it seems to be working - I think! Skin appears a little smoother.

Have just started to use this and find it good value for the money as you only need a pea size bit for whole face

I like the product but it was a bit of a slap in the face when the price tag for Spacenk was left on and I could see I had been up sold it by £30.

Good for wrinkles

Good product for the price

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.

Great texture and quickly absorbed by the skin

Fantastico! Ho cominciato a usarlo 2-3 volte a settimana, solo la notte, la mia pelle e cambiata gia dopp una settimana, anche mio marito ha notato la differenza, pelle più liscia, idratata, colorito uniforme. Per quanto riguarda le rughe e ancora presto a dirlo, pero sono soddisfatta!

Erstmals vielen Dank für die schnelle Lieferung.Hab das Produkt bisher 2 mal benutzt,ich mische es Abends mit ein bisschen proteini und die Haut glänzt am Morgen.

This retinol cream is really excellent. I had heard a lot of people recommending it and just didn’t believe it could be that great. I’m glad to say I was proven wrong. The product is amazing. I had just spent $150 a few months before on a 45 day retinol program which was good but only lasted 45 days and then done. This was half the price and much more product and it’s very strongly I do use it with the free sample size of thdclAla cream"
