Alisha Sharma it’s not available in Canada due to the high concentration of acids. I only have it because I’m on their PR list and they send it to me! You would have to purchase it in the states or have someone mail it to you.
Just wanted to add: since filming this video I've started mixing the C-Firma serum with the B-Hydra gel. This is a combo that Drunk Elephant highly recommends, and it drastically reduces the stickiness of the C-Firma so I'll be using it that way from now on! I wish I had tried the combo sooner.
I've used Drunk Elephant and still have been using their products. I will say though... my concern with the C-Firma is the fact that it's got that orangey tint, and I've been using a Vitamin C product from Timeless which is nice :)
Girl, wow. I’ve never seen a video from you before but I was searching TH-cam for drunk elephant videos and came across yours. After watching many, from many other youtubers, your review was absolutely one of the best. The amount of work you put in this video definitely shows! I am so excited I found your channel, I can just tell I’m going to love it! ❤️ thank you for all this helpful information!!
I absolutely LOVED this video; as others have mentioned, this is by far one the best and most detailed reviews ever. You didn't skip over anything or try to get through the products quickly. You provided your own experience while also offering recommendations and I truly appreciate it. I will definitely be looking into a couple of the products because of you and this video. Also LOVED this so much that I subbed :)
YES! All of the yes. I started using primarily only D.E. skincare about a month ago and I am absolutely in love. Biting the bullet was hard (and costly) but I can't believe how much my face gets complimented now so I know it's worth it.
One of the most thorough reviews of anything I've seen in a long time! After I'm done with my course of Accutane, I'm trying that Baby Facial stuff! Thanks!
Great video! Very detailed and helpful! I’ve been using majority of these products for a year now, still so impressed how much it had improved my skin. I’m 32 with a skin of 25 year old. Best advice I’ve ever gotten: invest in your skin!
Definitely, your skin is so important! I'm so interested to see what my skin will look like 10, 20, 30 years down the line since I am so invested in my skincare routine & I started taking care of my skin at a young age. Glad you enjoyed the review!
You all must be tripping to think there’s not difference between 32 years old skin and 25 years skin. Maybe it doesn’t between 20 and 25, but I know some people in their 30s whose face completely changed in 7 years of not giving a fuck what they put on their skin. Skin change once you reach 30s and looking 7 years younger is a lot.
i’ve watched a lot of DE products reviews and yours is the only one that i didn’t skip forward once! i’m so late in the game but i just found out about DE and your reviews were so detailed and helpful. 😩 i never comment but you did such a good job!
I use exclusively DE and I really like what it’s done for my skin. I have PCOS so my acne is insane and DE has really helped with my skin texture and breakouts.
Great video. I am an older lady who uses the Protini cream. It is great for anti aging skin care. It is the first and only product that gave me an instant improvement. The only other DE product I tried is the eye cream. It was too heavy for my thin skin around my eyes. It also tends to creep into my eyes. And I have sensitive and dry eyes. So that is a no go for me.
OBSESSED with this video! If i did not know anything about Drunk Elephant this would be the go to video, you were so informational & made it easy to understand. I am referring everyone to this video!
You are seriously one of the most naturally beautiful people on TH-cam! I love your eyes and your skin is so creamy and bright. Thanks for this extensive review. I have been wanting to try out some DE products for some time now
I recently just purchased the Littles set because of your video! Obviously I know that skin care is very personal and what works for someone else may not work for you, but I have very high hopes for this brand. I'll definitely be picking up full sizes if everything works out. Can I just say that I don't typically like very long videos but yours are so informational without it being overwhelming that I can sit through an entire video with no problems. ❤️
I just love you! You are thorough, educated and beautiful on screen. It's great to just do a review of a line you want to try that has been hyped. I have heard of Drunk Elephant and also heard of its high price. I have even seen other review videos of the line with very mixed results. One or two did a before and after use and found that their skin looked worse after Drunk Elephant. The photos did not lie. So I scrapped my big idea of spending money on such an expensive product but I may try a couple of the products. The Vitamin C product is really hard in a lot of lines because of its chemical make up. You really do need some good stabilizer along with it so it will not be so harsh. Just how to navigate good skin care is a mystery and you have helped lots of people. Good work Girl! Maybe Drunk Elephant will give you a discount.
The brand aside, I love the way you go about explaining the items. You really do a lot of research into all the products(review/ingredient) wise. Such an informative yet not too wordy video.
I use the moisturizer and make up remover and they are amazing. It works fantastic and isn’t irritating or drying. The make up remover is perfect for any highly pigmented eyeshadows too.
Girl order the minis they actually last forever since you use so little. I ordered the two little kits that have the c-firma and the nighttime one and 2 others with them for about 50 bucks
I know DE is the "cool kid in town," but, trust me, your face isn't going to look any different if you use other, cheaper products. You're not missing much.
@@MSUSPARTANS1973 although it's true you don't always need to pay more for products, skincare isn't place where you want to skimp out sis! We're talking about your SKIN here, the LARGEST organ on your body! Yes, ORGAN. Your skin is ALIVE and breathes and you have to take care of it. It may seem ridiculous right now, but when you hit your 30s, 40s, etc, your skin starts aging and rapidly undergoes changes as your body weakens and produces less collagen. Take care of yourself.
This is probably the most informative video on skincare products that I have ever seen. I feel well informed and I truly appreciate it, along with the honest opinions that you shared. Thank You!
thank you for doing an in-depth review on this line!! I’ve been curious about it for so long but was already afraid to splurge since it’s a bit expensive. Super helpful, thanks again!!
The T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial is my favorite I don’t use it often because I swim everyday in the sun so it’s not good for being in the sun with so much exposure. The mural oil is my other favorite, it’s a bit pricey but I love it. I think I will try the C Firma serum and the other moisturizer. Awesome review! Big thumbs up
Legitimately the MOST informative and clear video on DE ever. I have watched plenty and learned next to nothing. This is amazing. However the links for the BB cream (or tinted moisturizer) she’s been using won’t load for me, could anyone tell me what it is?
glad to see this review! although I don't think the babyfacial is available in Canada and also just a note on acids creating photosensitivity; it doesn't matter what time of day you use the product since the photosensitive effects last for days after use. so whenever you're using it, always wear an SPF
Yes I mentioned it isn't actually available here! I totally meant to say to always use SPF no matter what when using these products, just kind of came out wrong and I was kicking myself while editing lol I hope everyone watching is wearing their SPF daily anyways!!
Hey just so you know the Beste cleanser is an amazing makeup remover! Put it on dry skin, massage it into your makeup and then add water to emulsify it like you would an oil or balm cleanser. Loved your video!!!
I'm a new subscriber and can't wait to watch more of your videos. Its nice to watch a review with someone who actually knows something about ingredients and gives their actual opinion. Great detailed video!
Just found you and so glad I came across this video. Also so happy to find a Canadian Influencer that gets our climate and shows products we can purchase in Canada. Looking forward to watching more of your videos ❤️
Thanks for this video! I have been wondering about a lot of their products and this was very helpful! I think I will be picking up that mask when I’m in the US next week.
DE skincare is my favorite. I don’t know what I would do without my B hydra gel and Lala retro moisturizer. Everything in that line is pricey but so worth it. My skin glows to the GODS when I use their stuff.
Hey girl! I noticed your vitamin c serum is orange! The drunk elephant vitamin c actually supposed to be clearish/lightly orange tint! If it’s that dark it’s probably old and not as effective as a new one! Vitamin c is super delicate and only is stable for like 6-8 months after opening.
Oh really?! I had no idea that was the usual colour! Thanks so much for letting me know! It was brand new at the end of May when I started using it so that’s super bizarre, it’s always been this colour.
I'm pretty sure they have made a comment about the color of theirs and it may not be expired. I've seen that on a few videos but I forget the reason. I would check with DE or look for that info!
Arna had a commenter on her Drunk Elephant video and that commenter had been in contact with developer of Drunk Elephant and they said that the orange color was perfectly fine and that they make their products in such small batches and are shipped and purchased so quickly that it would be highly unlikely that the Vit C would have gone bad. They mentioned that the serum is a light orange color but gets darker and that is not indicative of it losing potency. They also said something about Vit C serums that are not bio-available will start out clear and darken as they become less potent but that is not the case with bio-available Vit. C. Just mentioning what I saw. Hopes that helps.
'I found this answer from her blog. This is what she received from Drunk Elephant in response to a question about the color of the C-Firma. " Hi. We have learned as we’ve gone through the process. We have always been as clear as we could be based on what we know and knew at the time. There’s one thing for sure, our goal is to deliver an effective product and your money’s worth, the problem is, we’ve lived through a period of trial and error, as every brand does. Throughout the 3 years we have sold C-Firma, we have tweaked the formulation to make it thicker, we have changed the packaging because we had a faulty bottle in the beginning, we have improved the filling process so that less air hits the products. we have learned that turmeric darkens the product over time no matter what, we have changed the shelf life (shown through stability testing to be 24 months) to 12 months and we have begun to produce batches more often now to yield the best results. We recommend you use within 6 months, it’s best that way. There has never been any intent on our part to trick the customer and we always send a fresh bottle to unsatisfied customers. It’s all easier said than done and we are quick to admit our mistakes. Today, our C-Firma is as good as it gets and we are very proud of it. It is our number one selling sku so we thank everyone for their patience, understanding and support around this!! 🎉 So sorry for any bad experiences, we can’t go back and change those but we can say that we have a firm handle on it now and we’ll do all we can to make sure it doesn’t continue to happen. If you get a bottle that appears oxidized, send it back and we’ll replace it. It’s as simple as that. Please know though there is still a range of acceptable color and scent change. Light golden to warm amber/pale orange is fine. We do not scent or dye the product on purpose, so you will always see exactly what’s going on. The C-Firma is formulated at 3.5. It has to be stabilized properly and it is. Water doesn’t break down L-Ascorbic acid immediately, but it begins to at some point. Best to use up within 6 months! The pH level is on the packaging and it’s at a clinically effective/non-irritating level! Hope that helps." I don't have a dog in this race, as they say, and I am not supporting Drunk Elephant in this question. I am simply mentioning what Drunk Elephants response to the question of oxidation/color change.
I've been using the Jelly Cleanser, Protein Cream and BabyFacial religiously for about 2 months and I love them (I mean the cleanser is whatever but it's good and only like $36). I have the virgin Marula oil but I rarely use it. Watching this video makes me wanna use it more. I also have a sample size of the "Intensive Hydration" blue thing but, like you, I was confused by the fact that it wasn't actually that moisturizing. So I will be trying it mixed with the Protini cream. I really wanna try the Night Serum after watching this video, it sounds incredible. Thanks for this in-depth video. They have so many products it gets confusing sometimes, so thank you for taking your time explaining everything.
I've tried several of the Drunk Elephant products myself and have had mixed feelings about what I've tried but I've overall been fairly happy so far. I really appreciate your thorough review and I'm impressed that you dedicated so much time To using and testing the product before giving your input. It's very frustrating when someone provides a review after only having used a product a handful of times and it really isn't helpful. I enjoyed watching this. And yes, I watched it all! Glad that you chose to make a video on all of this. Thank you!
I feel the same! The eye cream and the c serum literally burnt my skin. But the face mask is my favorite face mask on earth. The SPF is very good as well.
This is a REALLY great video and I learned SO much about the products, their use and benefits! I have watched other videos on this line and NONE of them are as informative, or as really great on tips as this one! It really helped me to figure out what products I might like or benefit from and I really feel confident with all the information you gave me! Thank you!
For all of the products in the pump packages you can actually open them to see how much is left! You have to twist the bottom of the colored part (fairly hard the first time) but it pops right open and the serum itself is in a clear tube
I'm new to your channel but I have to comment and say that THIS is the quality I always hope for with review videos. Thank you for giving us all the information we, as potential customers, would want.
Once again, another wonderfully detailed video Sari. I love that you share so much information in a concise way, whilst still making sure to keep it simple enough for anyone to understand. I've been looking at Drunk Elephant for ages, but I'm always wary of high-end brands because I want to know if I'll see results before I invest in it, so this was really helpful, thanks gal.
I just purchased a Drunk Elephant value kit during the Sephora VIB sale to try this brand out for the first time, and I really appreciate how in-depth and articulate your review of the line was. I also just watched your Tatcha video and am hoping to try a few things from brand out next. You just earned a new subscriber!
Just an FYI, and someone else may have said this already, but the B Hydra Gel and Serum are not technically the same thing. The Serum is an updated version of the gel. Some ingredients have been tweaked, and the name has actually changed. I’m a DE junkie. I’m 44 and am very proud of my skin. I didn’t really have many wrinkles before, but the fine lines I had are gone, and my skin just looks healthier overall. I used to have “dry, sensitive” skin. Now I have glowy skin and can put anything on it, no problems.
This was so informative and exactly what I was hoping to find regarding the drunk elephant products. Thanks for the tip on mixing c - Firma serum with b-hydra gel. I love the murula oil and I’m addicted to the TLC framboos night serum. I started to use it on my hands , I can’t believe how it smooths out the skin . I’m 50 and have been using this product for the last 6 months and love the results.
The vitamin c smells like hotdog water. And doesn't go away... Unfortunately product broke me out as well... It also turned me off to anymore of their products. But glad u had good results.
blondambition1223 Or maybe you were mixing this product w other brands. DE doesn’t really play well w other brands. It’s best to use DE w/other DE products to fully get the experience..
If there is Dimethicone in any product and you break out, good chance that is the ingredient doing it to you. Dimethicone, causes breakouts and rashes.
You are quickly becoming my favorite Beauty TH-camr!! I just went out an bought the Origins Essence because of you and it's doing wonders (I think I may be turning into a skincare junkie). I was wondering if you could do a video comparing all the vitamin c products you have. You rave about vitamin c and I want to know which have had the greatest effect on your skin.
Amazing how much your skin cleared up in the last 2-3 years, I remember before you were taking medication for it, it was really bad, now it’s flawless 😘
Will you do an updated skincare routine once you've incorporated the DE products you love?! That would be great! Loved this! It was really helpful and informative! Thanks! ❤😊
Drunk Elephant suggests that the products be used this way: Morning: C-Firma Serum mixed with B-Hydra, and D Bronzi mixed with Umbra SPF Evening 3x a week: Retinol mixed with Marula Oil, and Protini. Evening 4x a week: TLC Framboo Serum mixed with La La Retro Cream and Marula Oil
I had stopped using Drunk Elephant 🐘 yo usé The Ordinary due to affordability. This video just reminded me how much I used to love Drunk Elephant 🐘!!! You’re making want to go back to these. They were just superb and did exactly as they claimed.
I just found your channel this evening and love how informative you are with the Drunk Elephant line! I got the Sukari Baby Facial last evening and haven't tried it yet but going to this evening.
I wonder how you’re able to really specify your results for each product. Like you’re using so many different new products. How do you know which product attributes to which results.
Nice review 😍 .... I love that lip balm. The feel is like no other .... but I don't like the packaging. Just to big for application. A thinner stick form would be nicer but besides that it is sooo good and worth the money !!!!!! ♥️
luxury skincare has always been a guilty pleasure of mine but I find with drunk elephant the products aren't especially unique or do anything special for my skin. the only exception I've found is the baby facial which I tried once when I was visiting my family in the states and I saw immediate results but I was so sad when I found out we couldn't get it in Canada. the packaging also kind of annoys me because I love the pumps and the moisturiser pots but I like buying backups when im about 3/4 through a product I plan on repurchasing and the fact you can't tell how low you are just stresses me tf out.
Paige Ronald it stressed me out too that you couldn’t see how much you had left of the product but I learned you can pop the top off and there is a clear tube inside where you can see how much is left!
You are so well spoken. Thank you for this thorough review. I just bought the Lala retro whipped cream and got a sample of DE hydrating serum. The Lala retro whipped cream says 100 pumps so that will last 3 months and 10 days. Money well spent.
Hi Sari! Do you think you could do a video dedicated to eye creams? My under eye area gets super dry sometimes but I have no idea what to use. No youtubers I trust have done videos on the topic so I’d like to know which ones you recommend, what to look for, and how to use them properly! I got a sample of the Ole Henriksen banana bright eye creme and kind of liked it, but heard from a lot of people that it doesn’t actually do anything. Anyway, love your videos and I look forward to seeing more content from you soon 💕
Jaden Lee try out the kiehls avocado eye cream! :) one of the best hydrating eye creams ive tried, its so rich and creamy and makes my under eyes feel rly smooth
LOve this review! You seem real and str8 to the point, no drama which is what i love in reviews and consider those opions more that the "drama" beauty channels! Keep it up! first time viewer,
Man... I mean, I'm glad a lot of this stuff works for people (it better, for the price) but all I can think about whenever I see anything about Drunk Elephant is, "Yeah, I can think of like 5 other brands that have something just as good for between 5 and 15 bucks, it's just not in the fancy packaging." Especially when you consider how absurd it is for them to be telling you that you need to combine products to get either of them to work properly, and but each of them is more than one of my monthly utilities. I just can't take that seriously. To be honest, the only thing in this entire line that's anything special is the sunscreen. Finding a sunscreen that is both mineral-based and silicone-free is an absolute needle in a haystack. And go figure it's one of their cheapest products.
Cat V drunk elephant is an honest and clean brand with ingredients that won’t harm your skin, most products between 5 and 15 dollars have fillers that will harm your skin, this does not! i’m not saying all other products are bad but it’s not as easy as it seems, make sure to read the all the ingredients ! :)
You sound dumb. YEAH those "5 other brands that have something just as good for 5-15 bucks" ALSO have a BUNCH of other ingredients in their products that are super harmful to your face, pretty much even sometimes counteracting a good ingredient's effect. Drunk Elephant is expensive for a reason: it is the ONLY BRAND OUT THERE that formulates its products WITHOUT essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, and sodium lauryl sulfates (SLS). Do your research. I used Drunk Elephant for only a short while now and HOLY my skin has never been more clear, great, and youthful like EVER. You're probably just mad that you can't afford it. Don't listen to this comment y'all.
This is a wonderful review! My friend at Sephora recently suggested Drunk Elephant to help with hyperpigmentation so your video is very timely. thank you so much! And belated congratulations on over 120,000 subscribers!
It would be so nice to know which brands stopped sending you product based on your honest reviews. I’d definitely want to know which brands those are so I can stay away from them. That’s so shady of them! Thanks for the in-depth DE review! 😃
There's only a couple that I know for sure, and others are just hunches. For the most part they aren't big mainstream brands so I wouldn't be too worried. It definitely is disappointing though. I try to focus more on the brands that ARE supportive of honest feedback!
SariReanna, that’s a good point! Btw, I still always search for your reviews when I want to buy a new foundation. We have such a similar skin type. Thanks for all the help!
I think U did AMAZING job. They should hire U. I love ur knowledge. Thanku so much.i wish so Bad I could afford it. I’m 50 and just learning about skincare really. I have never heard a bad thing about this line I don’t think. I watch them just for this line. But if I could I would buy what is appropriate for my oily aging skin. Lol.
Joyce Chitwood I’m 46 and 2 of the Drunk Elephant products I cant live without is the C-firma serum and the Protini moisturizer. I use a lot of other stuff at our age too😂😩 but the DE besties are those:)
Joyce Chitwood there are definitely affordable alternatives that work just as well! The Skin Actives Vit C serum is under $20 with the same active ingredient, The Ordinary AHA Mask is similar to the BabyFacial, and I love Paula’s Choice AHA and BHA products. I also prefer the Belif Moisture Bomb to the DE Protini.
@@thesimplepeachify I absolutely agree! At 52, those are my two staples DE products as well. "Protini" is THE most effective skin care product I've EVER used.
I mix the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration serum, in the blue cap, with the Whipped moisturizer, purple cap (not shown). And it is an amazing combination, I also mix in the Marula Facial Oil with the combo as well. It's worked amazing for me so far.
This was such a great video! It was so in depth and knowledgable. I can't wait to see your next review. I think I might try out their travel sized kit. It was hard to pull the trigger on a 90 dollar purchase. Now I can't wait!
Wow you are the most honest and helpful reviewer this helped my opinion so much !! You speak so well and are easy to understand , more people need to see your videos !!
New subscriber here for sure! I have just started using drunk elephant products and this video was SO helpful in determining what to purchase and what to hold off on. I’ve just started using C-Firma and B-Hydra and I’m definitely going to try mixing them together! Awesome video, you seen super knowledgeable and trustworthy!
I love you videos!! Just a couple tips: I wouldn’t use humectants on a plane because they will always bind moisture, wherever they can find it. Planes have like 0% humidity so humectants in your skincare will actually bind moisture from deeper layers of your skin and dry you out! Also, if you like chemical exfoliation, I use Burt’s bees 1% salicylic acid acne clarifying toner and it’s like $8 and has changed my skin!!
THE NEXT VIDEO IN THIS SERIES IS UP NOW!! I only used Tatcha skincare for 2 months! Click here to watch th-cam.com/video/ZGhryOgJC7c/w-d-xo.html
How can I get sukari baby facial in canada? sephora canada does not have it.
Alisha Sharma it’s not available in Canada due to the high concentration of acids. I only have it because I’m on their PR list and they send it to me! You would have to purchase it in the states or have someone mail it to you.
Which one would you recommend more? Drunk elephant or Tasha
trying to decide - drunk elephant or Tatcha?? HELP ONE OVER THE OTHER?
Luv your informative vid, hun!! Also luv your impeccable skin n that natural glow. Unfortunately I cant find that tinted moisturizer anyway:(
I have decided to age gracefully and naturally after looking at the prices for these products.
kim chi 😩😂 just left Sephora Prices is ridiculous I will still to my ItWorks skincare
Try the ordinary! They have awesome serums that do the same thing for cheap!
lmao
😂😂 so funny
I can’t stop laughing lol
Just wanted to add: since filming this video I've started mixing the C-Firma serum with the B-Hydra gel. This is a combo that Drunk Elephant highly recommends, and it drastically reduces the stickiness of the C-Firma so I'll be using it that way from now on! I wish I had tried the combo sooner.
I've used Drunk Elephant and still have been using their products. I will say though... my concern with the C-Firma is the fact that it's got that orangey tint, and I've been using a Vitamin C product from Timeless which is nice :)
Question, so do you also mix in the Protini moisturizer as well? Mix in all three for day use?
Cherry Martinez I do the serums mixed together and then finish off by applying the Protini on top to make sure the serums really absorb!
Thanks for this video - It’s super useful!! this is my first video I’ve seen of yours and i just subscribed :)
Thank you so much for subscribing Steph, I'm glad the video was of use to you! :)
If I were to make this video it would be titled "I Didn't Pay My Rent For Two Months."
So good!!!
ITS JUST TOO EXPENSIVE-
I've been using Drunk Elephant for the last 4 months and I can tell a huge difference, I love their products! Thanks for the review
Girl, wow. I’ve never seen a video from you before but I was searching TH-cam for drunk elephant videos and came across yours. After watching many, from many other youtubers, your review was absolutely one of the best. The amount of work you put in this video definitely shows!

YES! All of the yes. I started using primarily only D.E. skincare about a month ago and I am absolutely in love. Biting the bullet was hard (and costly) but I can't believe how much my face gets complimented now so I know it's worth it.
One of the most thorough reviews of anything I've seen in a long time! After I'm done with my course of Accutane, I'm trying that Baby Facial stuff! Thanks!
Thank you so much! You'll love it after Accutane!
It's AMAZING!
Oh girl make sure you wait a lil while after that course of accutane. My skin was super sensitive for like a month afterward 😬 just a heads up
graceyloufb make sure your doctor approved that. your skin is super sensitive for at least a month after you’re done taking accutane!!
Great video! Very detailed and helpful! I’ve been using majority of these products for a year now, still so impressed how much it had improved my skin. I’m 32 with a skin of 25 year old. Best advice I’ve ever gotten: invest in your skin!
Definitely, your skin is so important! I'm so interested to see what my skin will look like 10, 20, 30 years down the line since I am so invested in my skincare routine & I started taking care of my skin at a young age. Glad you enjoyed the review!
Bird Lady actually there’s not that much difference between 25 and 32 y o skin
Ummm that's not a major difference lmao
You all must be tripping to think there’s not difference between 32 years old skin and 25 years skin. Maybe it doesn’t between 20 and 25, but I know some people in their 30s whose face completely changed in 7 years of not giving a fuck what they put on their skin. Skin change once you reach 30s and looking 7 years younger is a lot.
Young Bb I agree with you 100%
i’ve watched a lot of DE products reviews and yours is the only one that i didn’t skip forward once! i’m so late in the game but i just found out about DE and your reviews were so detailed and helpful. 😩 i never comment but you did such a good job!
I use exclusively DE and I really like what it’s done for my skin. I have PCOS so my acne is insane and DE has really helped with my skin texture and breakouts.
a mindful life hi! Did the products help with dark spots? If so, which specific products? Thank you 🙂
Great video. I am an older lady who uses the Protini cream. It is great for anti aging skin care. It is the first and only product that gave me an instant improvement. The only other DE product I tried is the eye cream. It was too heavy for my thin skin around my eyes. It also tends to creep into my eyes. And I have sensitive and dry eyes. So that is a no go for me.
Omg tinted Moisturizer. Queen your skin looks flawless. I’m shook.
This is my first time watching you, and wow. The way you speak is wonderful. I already love you!
you’re skin is glowing! You are so beautiful!
OBSESSED with this video! If i did not know anything about Drunk Elephant this would be the go to video, you were so informational & made it easy to understand. I am referring everyone to this video!
You are seriously one of the most naturally beautiful people on TH-cam! I love your eyes and your skin is so creamy and bright. Thanks for this extensive review. I have been wanting to try out some DE products for some time now
That's so incredibly sweet Katie, thank you!
I recently just purchased the Littles set because of your video! Obviously I know that skin care is very personal and what works for someone else may not work for you, but I have very high hopes for this brand. I'll definitely be picking up full sizes if everything works out. Can I just say that I don't typically like very long videos but yours are so informational without it being overwhelming that I can sit through an entire video with no problems. ❤️
I wish Drunk Elephant would send me their entire collection because dang #expensive. Thanks for the review though!
I just love you! You are thorough, educated and beautiful on screen. It's great to just do a review of a line you want to try that has been hyped. I have heard of Drunk Elephant and also heard of its high price. I have even seen other review videos of the line with very mixed results. One or two did a before and after use and found that their skin looked worse after Drunk Elephant. The photos did not lie. So I scrapped my big idea of spending money on such an expensive product but I may try a couple of the products. The Vitamin C product is really hard in a lot of lines because of its chemical make up. You really do need some good stabilizer along with it so it will not be so harsh. Just how to navigate good skin care is a mystery and you have helped lots of people. Good work Girl! Maybe Drunk Elephant will give you a discount.
The brand aside, I love the way you go about explaining the items. You really do a lot of research into all the products(review/ingredient) wise. Such an informative yet not too wordy video.
I use the moisturizer and make up remover and they are amazing. It works fantastic and isn’t irritating or drying. The make up remover is perfect for any highly pigmented eyeshadows too.
I wish I had the money to buy at least one item lmao🙃
Motherfukin £ 80 I don't think so sis
Girl order the minis they actually last forever since you use so little. I ordered the two little kits that have the c-firma and the nighttime one and 2 others with them for about 50 bucks
I know DE is the "cool kid in town," but, trust me, your face isn't going to look any different if you use other, cheaper products. You're not missing much.
@@MSUSPARTANS1973 although it's true you don't always need to pay more for products, skincare isn't place where you want to skimp out sis! We're talking about your SKIN here, the LARGEST organ on your body! Yes, ORGAN. Your skin is ALIVE and breathes and you have to take care of it. It may seem ridiculous right now, but when you hit your 30s, 40s, etc, your skin starts aging and rapidly undergoes changes as your body weakens and produces less collagen. Take care of yourself.
I received free mini sizes and they worked so well and lasted so long I have then purchased the full size. I believe they were so worth it.
This is probably the most informative video on skincare products that I have ever seen. I feel well informed and I truly appreciate it, along with the honest opinions that you shared. Thank You!
This is one of the most detailed reviews I've seen. Thank you so much for your hard work!
thank you for doing an in-depth review on this line!! I’ve been curious about it for so long but was already afraid to splurge since it’s a bit expensive. Super helpful, thanks again!!
Thank you! Glad it can help you out!
This is the BEST DE review I’ve ever watched, thank you! ♥️
Thank you so much Maria, I'm truly honoured!
Maria , how are you baby?
The T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial is my favorite I don’t use it often because I swim everyday in the sun so it’s not good for being in the sun with so much exposure. The mural oil is my other favorite, it’s a bit pricey but I love it. I think I will try the C Firma serum and the other moisturizer. Awesome review! Big thumbs up
Legitimately the MOST informative and clear video on DE ever. I have watched plenty and learned next to nothing. This is amazing. However the links for the BB cream (or tinted moisturizer) she’s been using won’t load for me, could anyone tell me what it is?
I'm so happy you found it informative! It's the Tarteguard tinted moisturizer!
You’re the best reviewer. Right to the point, detailed, and reAl!!! So beautiful 💗💗💗 keep on reviewing!
Wow I love how in-depth this video was 😁
Sold!
Just discovered your channel and I'm hooked. You are so real, so informative and I'm in to it! Thanks girl! 😉
How have I not found your channel before??? This is SO helpful oh my gosh
glad to see this review! although I don't think the babyfacial is available in Canada and also just a note on acids creating photosensitivity; it doesn't matter what time of day you use the product since the photosensitive effects last for days after use. so whenever you're using it, always wear an SPF
Yes I mentioned it isn't actually available here! I totally meant to say to always use SPF no matter what when using these products, just kind of came out wrong and I was kicking myself while editing lol I hope everyone watching is wearing their SPF daily anyways!!
Hey just so you know the Beste cleanser is an amazing makeup remover! Put it on dry skin, massage it into your makeup and then add water to emulsify it like you would an oil or balm cleanser. Loved your video!!!
Jaimie McNulty thank you for the tip! 👍🏽
I agree! It is by far my fav cleanser! I have never tried it on dry skin. I will have to try that tonight!
I'm a new subscriber and can't wait to watch more of your videos. Its nice to watch a review with someone who actually knows something about ingredients and gives their actual opinion. Great detailed video!
Love how straight to the point and straightforward you are! Super helpful. I appreciate it. No extra frills and you're easy to listen to. Thank you!
Just found you and so glad I came across this video. Also so happy to find a Canadian Influencer that gets our climate and shows products we can purchase in Canada. Looking forward to watching more of your videos ❤️
Thanks for this video! I have been wondering about a lot of their products and this was very helpful! I think I will be picking up that mask when I’m in the US next week.
Let me know your thoughts when you try it out!
DE skincare is my favorite. I don’t know what I would do without my B hydra gel and Lala retro moisturizer. Everything in that line is pricey but so worth it. My skin glows to the GODS when I use their stuff.
Hey girl! I noticed your vitamin c serum is orange! The drunk elephant vitamin c actually supposed to be clearish/lightly orange tint! If it’s that dark it’s probably old and not as effective as a new one! Vitamin c is super delicate and only is stable for like 6-8 months after opening.
Oh really?! I had no idea that was the usual colour! Thanks so much for letting me know! It was brand new at the end of May when I started using it so that’s super bizarre, it’s always been this colour.
I'm pretty sure they have made a comment about the color of theirs and it may not be expired. I've seen that on a few videos but I forget the reason. I would check with DE or look for that info!
Arna had a commenter on her Drunk Elephant video and that commenter had been in contact with developer of Drunk Elephant and they said that the orange color was perfectly fine and that they make their products in such small batches and are shipped and purchased so quickly that it would be highly unlikely that the Vit C would have gone bad. They mentioned that the serum is a light orange color but gets darker and that is not indicative of it losing potency. They also said something about Vit C serums that are not bio-available will start out clear and darken as they become less potent but that is not the case with bio-available Vit. C. Just mentioning what I saw. Hopes that helps.
The orange color means that it has oxidized and the vitamin C is not as effective anymore.
'I found this answer from her blog. This is what she received from Drunk Elephant in response to a question about the color of the C-Firma.
" Hi. We have learned as we’ve gone through the process. We have always been as clear as we could be based on what we know and knew at the time. There’s one thing for sure, our goal is to deliver an effective product and your money’s worth, the problem is, we’ve lived through a period of trial and error, as every brand does. Throughout the 3 years we have sold C-Firma, we have tweaked the formulation to make it thicker, we have changed the packaging because we had a faulty bottle in the beginning, we have improved the filling process so that less air hits the products. we have learned that turmeric darkens the product over time no matter what, we have changed the shelf life (shown through stability testing to be 24 months) to 12 months and we have begun to produce batches more often now to yield the best results. We recommend you use within 6 months, it’s best that way. There has never been any intent on our part to trick the customer and we always send a fresh bottle to unsatisfied customers. It’s all easier said than done and we are quick to admit our mistakes. Today, our C-Firma is as good as it gets and we are very proud of it. It is our number one selling sku so we thank everyone for their patience, understanding and support around this!! 🎉 So sorry for any bad experiences, we can’t go back and change those but we can say that we have a firm handle on it now and we’ll do all we can to make sure it doesn’t continue to happen. If you get a bottle that appears oxidized, send it back and we’ll replace it. It’s as simple as that. Please know though there is still a range of acceptable color and scent change. Light golden to warm amber/pale orange is fine. We do not scent or dye the product on purpose, so you will always see exactly what’s going on. The C-Firma is formulated at 3.5. It has to be stabilized properly and it is. Water doesn’t break down L-Ascorbic acid immediately, but it begins to at some point. Best to use up within 6 months! The pH level is on the packaging and it’s at a clinically effective/non-irritating level! Hope that helps."
I don't have a dog in this race, as they say, and I am not supporting Drunk Elephant in this question. I am simply mentioning what Drunk Elephants response to the question of oxidation/color change.
I've been using the Jelly Cleanser, Protein Cream and BabyFacial religiously for about 2 months and I love them (I mean the cleanser is whatever but it's good and only like $36). I have the virgin Marula oil but I rarely use it. Watching this video makes me wanna use it more. I also have a sample size of the "Intensive Hydration" blue thing but, like you, I was confused by the fact that it wasn't actually that moisturizing. So I will be trying it mixed with the Protini cream. I really wanna try the Night Serum after watching this video, it sounds incredible. Thanks for this in-depth video. They have so many products it gets confusing sometimes, so thank you for taking your time explaining everything.
I've tried several of the Drunk Elephant products myself and have had mixed feelings about what I've tried but I've overall been fairly happy so far. I really appreciate your thorough review and I'm impressed that you dedicated so much time To using and testing the product before giving your input. It's very frustrating when someone provides a review after only having used a product a handful of times and it really isn't helpful. I enjoyed watching this. And yes, I watched it all! Glad that you chose to make a video on all of this. Thank you!
I feel the same! The eye cream and the c serum literally burnt my skin. But the face mask is my favorite face mask on earth. The SPF is very good as well.
This is a REALLY great video and I learned SO much about the products, their use and benefits! I have watched other videos on this line and NONE of them are as informative, or as really great on tips as this one! It really helped me to figure out what products I might like or benefit from and I really feel confident with all the information you gave me! Thank you!
For all of the products in the pump packages you can actually open them to see how much is left! You have to twist the bottom of the colored part (fairly hard the first time) but it pops right open and the serum itself is in a clear tube
Oh really? Can you put it back on again no problem?
Yup, it's really easy to close again
Thanks for letting me know!
You can also unscrew the pump lid after you pop it out and get an extra bit of product!
Life changing info, thanks guys!
This was like legit the most well spoken, in depth review of products I've ever seen
Thank you! I just posted a review on Tatcha as well so make sure you check it out 🥰
@@SariReanna OMG I def will!! 😊
I'm new to your channel but I have to comment and say that THIS is the quality I always hope for with review videos. Thank you for giving us all the information we, as potential customers, would want.
You are incredibly well spoken! I found this review packed full of information and very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Once again, another wonderfully detailed video Sari. I love that you share so much information in a concise way, whilst still making sure to keep it simple enough for anyone to understand. I've been looking at Drunk Elephant for ages, but I'm always wary of high-end brands because I want to know if I'll see results before I invest in it, so this was really helpful, thanks gal.
I just purchased a Drunk Elephant value kit during the Sephora VIB sale to try this brand out for the first time, and I really appreciate how in-depth and articulate your review of the line was. I also just watched your Tatcha video and am hoping to try a few things from brand out next. You just earned a new subscriber!
Thank you for subscribing!! I’d love an update once you’ve tried the products!
Your skin looks beautiful ...you deserve it. I have quite a few DE products , just wish there were cheaper.
Thank you Cynthia! I don't think anyone would complain about lower price points haha
So informative, thank you ! You’re the only one who explained b-hydra to mix with other serums to get most out of it. I totally agree !
I was like "Woah!😳" when she said SUPER INFORMATIONAL.🤗🤗🤗
This is the best review for Drunk Elephant products!!! Thanks for sharing!
Just an FYI, and someone else may have said this already, but the B Hydra Gel and Serum are not technically the same thing. The Serum is an updated version of the gel. Some ingredients have been tweaked, and the name has actually changed. I’m a DE junkie. I’m 44 and am very proud of my skin. I didn’t really have many wrinkles before, but the fine lines I had are gone, and my skin just looks healthier overall. I used to have “dry, sensitive” skin. Now I have glowy skin and can put anything on it, no problems.
It is meant to be a revised version though even if they've tweaked the formula and should give similar results?
SariReanna yes!
This was so informative and exactly what I was hoping to find regarding the drunk elephant products. Thanks for the tip on mixing c - Firma serum with b-hydra gel. I love the murula oil and I’m addicted to the TLC framboos night serum. I started to use it on my hands , I can’t believe how it smooths out the skin . I’m 50 and have been using this product for the last 6 months and love the results.
The vitamin c smells like hotdog water. And doesn't go away... Unfortunately product broke me out as well... It also turned me off to anymore of their products. But glad u had good results.
blondambition1223 if it broke you out, chances are you were using too much.
blondambition1223 Or maybe you were mixing this product w other brands. DE doesn’t really play well w other brands. It’s best to use DE w/other DE products to fully get the experience..
Hotdog water? Wow that's a weird product.
If there is Dimethicone in any product and you break out, good chance that is the ingredient doing it to you. Dimethicone, causes breakouts and rashes.
Removing dairy has really helped my hormonal acne! Your skin looks fabulous girl! Looking forward to trying these products!
um ok you are my favorite youtuber. thanks for being so thorough!
Please do an updated skin care routine incorporating your favorite Drunk Elephant products!
I love how knowledgeable you are about the products and ingredients I definitely learned a lot from you !! ❤️❤️
oh lord i love that tartegard! SOOOO MUCH! it is hugely underrated. it needs to be talked about so they keep it forever!
HI! Is this okay for teenagers?? btw I LOVEE UR CONTENT!! 💓
My teens have bad acne. I was thinking the same thing.
You are quickly becoming my favorite Beauty TH-camr!! I just went out an bought the Origins Essence because of you and it's doing wonders (I think I may be turning into a skincare junkie). I was wondering if you could do a video comparing all the vitamin c products you have. You rave about vitamin c and I want to know which have had the greatest effect on your skin.
Amazing how much your skin cleared up in the last 2-3 years, I remember before you were taking medication for it, it was really bad, now it’s flawless 😘
Will you do an updated skincare routine once you've incorporated the DE products you love?! That would be great! Loved this! It was really helpful and informative! Thanks! ❤😊
Drunk Elephant suggests that the products be used this way:
Morning: C-Firma Serum mixed with B-Hydra, and D Bronzi mixed with Umbra SPF
Evening 3x a week: Retinol mixed with Marula Oil, and Protini.
Evening 4x a week: TLC Framboo Serum mixed with La La Retro Cream and Marula Oil
I had stopped using Drunk Elephant 🐘 yo usé The Ordinary due to affordability. This video just reminded me how much I used to love Drunk Elephant 🐘!!! You’re making want to go back to these. They were just superb and did exactly as they claimed.
What about Lala Retro Whipped?
Kandis Fosberg my favorite DE product! 💜
great review!! ❤ so you would say it’s worth the hefty price?
So informative! Thank you for the thoroughness ❤️ Loving how fresh faced you look ! 😊
Thanks Noemy!!
WOW this was the most thorough and in depth review I've ever seen!! This is amazing - I feel like an expert now 😁
You’re so pretty! I’m not done watching the review. I just had to say it mid watch lol
I just found your channel this evening and love how informative you are with the Drunk Elephant line! I got the Sukari Baby Facial last evening and haven't tried it yet but going to this evening.
I wonder how you’re able to really specify your results for each product. Like you’re using so many different new products. How do you know which product attributes to which results.
Nice review 😍 .... I love that lip balm. The feel is like no other .... but I don't like the packaging. Just to big for application. A thinner stick form would be nicer but besides that it is sooo good and worth the money !!!!!! ♥️
luxury skincare has always been a guilty pleasure of mine but I find with drunk elephant the products aren't especially unique or do anything special for my skin. the only exception I've found is the baby facial which I tried once when I was visiting my family in the states and I saw immediate results but I was so sad when I found out we couldn't get it in Canada. the packaging also kind of annoys me because I love the pumps and the moisturiser pots but I like buying backups when im about 3/4 through a product I plan on repurchasing and the fact you can't tell how low you are just stresses me tf out.
Paige Ronald it stressed me out too that you couldn’t see how much you had left of the product but I learned you can pop the top off and there is a clear tube inside where you can see how much is left!
You are so well spoken. Thank you for this thorough review. I just bought the Lala retro whipped cream and got a sample of DE hydrating serum. The Lala retro whipped cream says 100 pumps so that will last 3 months and 10 days. Money well spent.
Hi Sari! Do you think you could do a video dedicated to eye creams? My under eye area gets super dry sometimes but I have no idea what to use. No youtubers I trust have done videos on the topic so I’d like to know which ones you recommend, what to look for, and how to use them properly! I got a sample of the Ole Henriksen banana bright eye creme and kind of liked it, but heard from a lot of people that it doesn’t actually do anything. Anyway, love your videos and I look forward to seeing more content from you soon 💕
Jaden Lee try out the kiehls avocado eye cream! :) one of the best hydrating eye creams ive tried, its so rich and creamy and makes my under eyes feel rly smooth
Sms Laden thanks! I’ll give it a try!
Jaden Lee try laneige water bank eye gel
Sms Laden Wanted to let you know I went and got a sample at Sephora today! Just tried it for the first time. Thanks so much for the recommendation!
Ilona Latisha I might give that one a try too when I run through my Kiehl’s sample. Thanks for your help 😊
LOve this review! You seem real and str8 to the point, no drama which is what i love in reviews and consider those opions more that the "drama" beauty channels! Keep it up! first time viewer,
Man... I mean, I'm glad a lot of this stuff works for people (it better, for the price) but all I can think about whenever I see anything about Drunk Elephant is, "Yeah, I can think of like 5 other brands that have something just as good for between 5 and 15 bucks, it's just not in the fancy packaging." Especially when you consider how absurd it is for them to be telling you that you need to combine products to get either of them to work properly, and but each of them is more than one of my monthly utilities. I just can't take that seriously. To be honest, the only thing in this entire line that's anything special is the sunscreen. Finding a sunscreen that is both mineral-based and silicone-free is an absolute needle in a haystack. And go figure it's one of their cheapest products.
Cat V drunk elephant is an honest and clean brand with ingredients that won’t harm your skin, most products between 5 and 15 dollars have fillers that will harm your skin, this does not! i’m not saying all other products are bad but it’s not as easy as it seems, make sure to read the all the ingredients ! :)
I usually get a tester or sample size then try to find a cheaper dupe. But I have really sensitive skin so I have to be super careful
You sound dumb. YEAH those "5 other brands that have something just as good for 5-15 bucks" ALSO have a BUNCH of other ingredients in their products that are super harmful to your face, pretty much even sometimes counteracting a good ingredient's effect. Drunk Elephant is expensive for a reason: it is the ONLY BRAND OUT THERE that formulates its products WITHOUT essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, and sodium lauryl sulfates (SLS). Do your research. I used Drunk Elephant for only a short while now and HOLY my skin has never been more clear, great, and youthful like EVER. You're probably just mad that you can't afford it. Don't listen to this comment y'all.
Missy P well that was a little harsh 🤣🤣🤣
Cat V how do you know that other brands have something just as good if you’ve never tried it?
This is a wonderful review! My friend at Sephora recently suggested Drunk Elephant to help with hyperpigmentation so your video is very timely. thank you so much! And belated congratulations on over 120,000 subscribers!
Thank you Julie!
your skin looks great break out or not, Thanks for sharing
Thank you! I think the rest of my skin is still in really great shape, and thankfully my breakouts are healing faster than usual.
Ok the makeup in your thumbnail is amazing. Love the lighter pinkier look!!
It would be so nice to know which brands stopped sending you product based on your honest reviews. I’d definitely want to know which brands those are so I can stay away from them. That’s so shady of them! Thanks for the in-depth DE review! 😃
There's only a couple that I know for sure, and others are just hunches. For the most part they aren't big mainstream brands so I wouldn't be too worried. It definitely is disappointing though. I try to focus more on the brands that ARE supportive of honest feedback!
SariReanna, that’s a good point! Btw, I still always search for your reviews when I want to buy a new foundation. We have such a similar skin type. Thanks for all the help!
Sabina Chawla you get of tartes pr list if you talk badly about their products
I mean ... is that really shady, though? Why would you send free products to someone who has already said they don't like your products?
First video of yours I have come by. You are sooo well spoken and gave such a wonderful thorough review! You’re skin is also beautiful!!
I think U did AMAZING job. They should hire U. I love ur knowledge. Thanku so much.i wish so Bad I could afford it. I’m 50 and just learning about skincare really. I have never heard a bad thing about this line I don’t think. I watch them just for this line. But if I could I would buy what is appropriate for my oily aging skin. Lol.
Joyce Chitwood I’m 46 and 2 of the Drunk Elephant products I cant live without is the C-firma serum and the Protini moisturizer. I use a lot of other stuff at our age too😂😩 but the DE besties are those:)
Joyce Chitwood there are definitely affordable alternatives that work just as well! The Skin Actives Vit C serum is under $20 with the same active ingredient, The Ordinary AHA Mask is similar to the BabyFacial, and I love Paula’s Choice AHA and BHA products. I also prefer the Belif Moisture Bomb to the DE Protini.
@@thesimplepeachify I absolutely agree! At 52, those are my two staples DE products as well. "Protini" is THE most effective skin care product I've EVER used.
you sound so so so so genuine!!!!!!!! love the vibe!! keep it up girl!!
Best Drunk Elephant products review
Could you film a video about all of your favorite vitamin c serums? These videos are so informative! Thank you!!
this was such an amazing review, so informative & in depth! i’ve been dying to try this line! ❤️❤️
Amazing video! A sequel of like your top 3 products with in depth ingredient info would be great! ♥
I mix the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration serum, in the blue cap, with the Whipped moisturizer, purple cap (not shown). And it is an amazing combination, I also mix in the Marula Facial Oil with the combo as well. It's worked amazing for me so far.
This was such a great video! It was so in depth and knowledgable. I can't wait to see your next review. I think I might try out their travel sized kit. It was hard to pull the trigger on a 90 dollar purchase. Now I can't wait!
Y waste money on professional peel when the ordinary has a 30%/2% peel for like $10
Agreed! Love The Ordinary % of acids and price!!
@@НастяХин i wanted to love it but it was too harsh for my skin
Wow you are the most honest and helpful reviewer this helped my opinion so much !! You speak so well and are easy to understand , more people need to see your videos !!
New subscriber here for sure! I have just started using drunk elephant products and this video was SO helpful in determining what to purchase and what to hold off on. I’ve just started using C-Firma and B-Hydra and I’m definitely going to try mixing them together! Awesome video, you seen super knowledgeable and trustworthy!
I was going to say, “I can trust this Gal.” 😂
I love you videos!! Just a couple tips: I wouldn’t use humectants on a plane because they will always bind moisture, wherever they can find it. Planes have like 0% humidity so humectants in your skincare will actually bind moisture from deeper layers of your skin and dry you out! Also, if you like chemical exfoliation, I use Burt’s bees 1% salicylic acid acne clarifying toner and it’s like $8 and has changed my skin!!
