Personally, I feel that a tube with a pointed dispensing nozzle might be a better option with this product. Retinol: Retinol is one of the most well-researched ingredients in skincare, capable of bringing balance to any skin concern. At a 1.0% concentration, our pure form of vegan retinol can dramatically improve the look and feel of uneven skin tone and texture, as well as ward off the damage done from daily exposure to UV rays, pollution, or other free radicals. On nights when I use the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream, I’d make sure I use a good, moisturizing facial oil. I also applied my retinol cream first on dry, clean skin, then gave it a minute to absorb, before applying the rest of my skincare.

These photos were taken just yesterday, and the tube looks barely used.

I was aware of the many complaints about how strong it was, so when I started using the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream, I started out very slowly, and I made sure I applied all the tips I knew about using retinol!

I will personally say that the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream is a good product. It is expensive, but it does work well, if you are prepared to accept that it will take time to show results, and work with it slowly and steadily. About halfway through the 2nd month, I started using Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream every other night, still neat. I continued reaping the benefits of using it, and my skin looked good. I was impressed, and I continue to be impressed. The texture of the cream is very comfortable, for me, and it sinks right into my skin when I apply. I usually squeeze out just a little bit (a pea size will do) and then apply it using the 13-dot technique. Retinol works to restore bounce and resilience while helping to even skin tone and texture. This formula includes vitamin F, along with a curated blend of passionfruit, apricot, and jojoba oils to replenish essential lipids and moisture.

After the first month, I noticed that my skin did look better. It was smoother to the touch, and visibly the texture was better. My fine lines were less noticeable, and my pigmentation looked lighter. On the last point however, I will discount it a little, for it was a benefit of being forced to stay indoors for about 2.5 months, with little sun exposure. At Drunk Elephant, we believe there are six culprits that are at the root of almost all skin problems. If you take a break from the Suspicious 6, your skin can reset to its happiest, healthiest state. But there was a big section of reviewers who complained that it left them with dry, flaky, peeling skin – a common side-effect of using retinol, especially in high doses. And A-Passioni Retinol Cream has a whopping 1.0% Retinol concentration. I started using the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream first mixed with B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum. This was to buffer the retinol, so it was not too harsh on my skin. I also used a facial oil every night, and a nice moisturizing cream on top to seal it off.

However, if you have never used a retinol cream or serum before this, I won’t recommend jumping straight into the deep-end with the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream. Start off with something lighter to get your skin accustomed to it, before going up the scale. Very careful usage of what is potentially a very strong product that can irritate the skin. I did not slap it on, as I usually do with a new product, and I was careful to take it slow and steady. Ideal for all those who're already acquainted with the wonders of retinol (this can trigger irritation and peeling if your skin is sensitive, or if you're new to the retinol realm), Drunk Elephants game-changing A-Passioni Retinol Cream is the perfect addition to your evening-time routine.
