Wayne please do a "where to save and where to spend" video. I'm sure there are some cheaper options worth having whilst other products worth spending more on. Maybe facial wash for saving and some sort of serum or acid for the products to invest more in?
I respectfully disagree with spending on cleanser. In my experience, a good cleanser and moisturizer can be found at the drugstore (or drugstore section of Ulta). Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and PM moisturizer are great. I have been advised to spend $ in the middle of the routine (so the C Firma or other serums). That said, there are good inexpensive serums. But I’m almost 40 so I think of it as an investment. For the record, I have combination, acne-prone, dehydrated skin with large pores, PIE from acne, and moderate rosacea.
Little Voice no problem! I am on a tight budget myself but Wayne is right that the products last almost 6 months if you don’t slather. If I were to get only one DE product it would be C Firma. If I were to get only 2 it would be that and Protini. Hope this helps ❤️
I agree with ambriel. Any dermatologist would happily point you to CeraVe for the cleanser and moisturizer. Use DE for the serums :-) And I, personally, love Tarte's maracuja oil and mermaid serum (they frequently have sales!) if you can't afford DE marula and b hydra.
I’ve been dying for a thorough and in-depth review and step by step (with the mixing of the cocktails and it’s different products and uses) and I’m so happy to have found yours!! I have all the items in my Sephora basket and have been waiting to make sure I was buying all the right things!! Thank you so much and I’m excited to try my products now!
Been using for about 2 weeks and seeing a massive difference. Wanted to see what your thoughts were on it and now I’m even more convinced its just amazing x
Hello Wayne!! Great to see you! I’m so happy for you. You are so right with how many people who aren’t so nice compared to the truly kind inside and out people. Thanks for this video!
I am SO GLAD you made this video. My daughter and I have just recently began using Drunk Elephant products and the results we are seeing are phenomenal. I'm 56 and she is 21. Thank you for going in depth with each product.
Thank you Wayne! I’ve been using Drunk Elephant for about six months....I had such a difficult winter skin wise last year, I was going nuts! Drunk Elephant saved me. I love Protini, Marula Oil, TLC and LaLa as you do. Great stuff! Delighted we are having the same experience! Love you and keep up the good work!
@@jeungsasa I realize you aren't asking me but I wouldn't use it for my oily/combo/acne prone skin bc it contains marula oil. The only oil I have found that doesn't cause me to breakout is jojoba oil.
Omg thank u sooo much Wayne. I tried the Marula oil and the tlc framboos about three months ago and I am obsessed too. My skin has never looked or felt better. Love the individual product breakdown.
Thank you for the thorough explanation of how you use the Drunk Elephant line! I’ve heard such good things about the products, but was confused about which products to buy and how they should be used. This was a long video for you, BUT as always, there was a ton of information. And no time was wasted. You skin is looking amazing!
Thank you for this review Wayne! I also have issues with vit C products as they block my pores so I am very glad you tested this serum. I love your honesty and enthusiasm. Your skin looks amazing!
Wayne, DE products have made a huge difference to my skin too! Been using their products for 2 years now. My mature skin loves DE! Never tried making a skin cocktail before. Maybe I’ll try it. Thanks for the review!
Your skin & complexion look F’ing AMAZING!! I’ve seen. Drunk Elephant at Sephora and was tempted to try it but now, i’ll be purchasing a select group of products to try based on your video. Love this ‘cocktail’ ritual and alternating products after one month. THANK YOU! Again, your skin looks 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
My 16 y.o. daughter and I both love the DE marula oil for different reasons...it has done such a great job healing her acne scars and has improved her glow beautifully, she was really nervous about an oil at first but it doesn't clog her pores. We also like the ordinarys version of marula oil and other products but honestly prefer DE and love their packaging.
Thank you SO much for this skin care review! I love that you showed all the products first, and then went over everything again in the amounts that you use. Skin care can be so complicated, and I am never sure what products are good for me. I have just started showing the signs of aging as I just turned 60, but I have good genetics. My mom had beautiful skin. I'll have to buy the Drunk Elephant products over time, but within a year I should be on a complete regimen. Keep doing what you do. You're wonderful
Curious, I lived in the UK and I could get my hands on DE from Amazon. Once I moved back to Portugal it was impossible for me to get it and all the sudden I started to get bumps! Turns out it's papulopostular rosacea! 😫 I'm going to get de again to see if I can control it again.
@@PhoeNEx10 where abouts in the uk did u live i live in england n if drunk elephant is 90$ in america its £90 here which is ridiculous they never converted it
For anyone who is interested, I have had terrible luck with primers. I’ve tried a lot of expensive ones. I’m not sure how, but I tried mixing one pump of Drunk Elephant C-Firma and B-Hydra together and putting on my face as a primer. My foundation goes on smoother, and actually lasts all day. I bought the minis, and they really last. I’m 46, very sensitive, dry, and fair skin. And I use one pump of Marula mixed with Framboos at bedtime. Just give it a shot with the minis.
Love is so nice isn’t it. However I wouldn’t recommend exfoliating with the glycolic night serum every day. I use mine max 3 nights a week. Though I also use it anywhere on my body where I feel some texture. I also love my tango eye cream! I may try the protini next...but so far I’m loving every purchase!
I have been eyeing Drunk Elephant products for many months and I’m very happy to see this video from you! Now I have a much better idea of what to buy. Thanks, Wayne!
“I don’t go anywhere but care so much about my skin that no one ever sees” that cracked me up. Haha jokes aside, I am officially obsessed with DE now and thinking to throw or give all my other products away! Especially since I discovered their hair care as well, my hair has never been so silky from the first wash! I mean it, they are great brand. Sad to see some influencers are punishing them for bad replies on social media, but hope they would change their social media team and move on! Because the products are real good!
I absolutely LOVE DE and use a lot of their products in my AM and PM routines. C firma, Protini, C Tango, Umbra sunscreen, Beste cleanser, Lala, Marula oil. Probably a couple more that I'm missing. They have done wonders for my skin and I'm hoping since I started getting really into skincare younger that my skin will look amazing later in life. Yes, their products are expensive but I find ways to make them work in my budget because they provide results. Better to spend more on skincare now than spend thousands on filler and botox later 🤷🏼♀️
Your skin is amazing!! This video is perfect. I have some of these products and wasn’t quite sure the best way to use them and here you are giving me everything I needed to know. Thank you💕💕
Wayne, your skin looks amazing!! I’ve been wanting to try some of the drunk elephant products so now after seeing this you have sold me on several of her products!! Thank you for this!! ♥️♥️
I love love love DE and I’ve had skin issues for most of my life and I’m now in my 30s and have been using DE for about 3 months and I will never use anything else, but what I did was I went to Sephora and asked for samples of what DE I wanted to try one by one to see if it worked for my skin and if it did I’d purchase a larger size and doing the cocktail method saves me soooo much product and money as well
Thank you so much for making this video. I have all of the products minus the sunscreen and the bronzer and I haven’t used them yet. I just was not to sure where to start. Now I am excited to give it a go! Your videos are the most helpful and opposite of the other “beauty gurus”. You are not pushing brands in our face. You help me with technique and to me, that is the most valuable thing you can give to your audience. I have lupus so my skin is forever changing so when I watched your foundation video and eyeshadow videos, I realized less is better. I was going crazy with it and it took forever for blending it out. I love your techniques and thank you for sharing them. You inspire me to be better at makeup and being a kinder person. I just wanted you to know I appreciate you and the time you give in your videos. They are shorter but carry more substance than others. Again, thank you.
drawnbyschiele I just read this yesterday. The founder of deciem plans to shut down operations for 2 months (?) bc of internal drama? Honestly I don’t understand what’s going on. If you do a search online you can get more information. I live in nyc so plan to go by their retail stores just to see. Situation looks very fluid and ambiguous so I think it’s best to keep checking online for any updates.
@@golfchicknyc1 Yes Brandon has pulled the plug on Deciem. Frankly to put it politely.....He has definitely lost the plot! He's throwing around such wild accusations I'm not sure there can be a come back for him.
Ginny Bloomer If he gets help for his bipolar disorder (manic depression) and gets stabilized maybe he can. But until then .... It’s so sad. I hate to see someone who’s done so much good spin out of control without good people by his side to do a literal INTERVENTION on him. Unfortunately these powerful people surround themselves with an armour of YES puppets who are not concerned for his welfare and allow for his mess to continue at too much cost and collateral damage. I’m very sad! 😥
I’m 24 and have very sensitive skin. I watched this, the next day I went and bought the little ones set and have been using it since. My skin has never been better. The pimples have cleared, my pores are smaller, and my skintone has evened out. Your recommendation has changed my face. Thank you so much.
I love that you're open about your acne, I'm in my mid twenties and feel shit about mine. Literally had some man come up to me last week telling me makeup wasn't going to help my acne and blah blah 😪 I explained it was hormonal and have it anyway, so I may as well do what I enjoy 😂 ahh, feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one struggling with adult acne 💛 Edit: You're all really helpful and supportive, it's kind of overwhelming (in a good way, since so much of the internet is just toxic and mean), thank you ~ 💛
Grab a bar of Dove soap, available at any Dollar Store. Use only that (no toners, no acne creams or washes) 2x a day for 2 weeks. Makeup is okay! When I was your age my Mom took me to the Derm (because it was BAD!!) who said try that come back if it doesn't work. Decades later, still using it! Cheap enough to try anyway! :) Best wishes!!
hormonal acne is sooo hard to deal with!!! i have it too. everyone always seems to have a "solution" that works but for hormonal cystic acne it's so deep and hard to treat. that guy sounded like a jerk! youtube has helped me so much with finding a community of like-minded people who also have adult acne.
Lisa Fenix he was a jerk hahaha 😂 I was standing at the bus stop deep in thought and he walks up to me like "you have that acne don't you?" Maybe he was a bit slow I really don't know 😩 it really is hard, it'll flare up or go away when I don't even change anything, it's frustrating 😩 anyway recommendations for other channels/communities? 💛
I’ve been on a drunk elephant bend ever since this video and my skin has IMPROVED. The Pekee bar has been the biggest hero for my irritated skin. I’m two months into mostly drunk elephant and my skin looks and feels x10 better. Thank you for sharing your skincare story!!
Wayne, your skin look maaaahvelous (and so does the rest of you)! I’ve been using Drunk Elephant products since shortly after they were launched. I started small because of the cost (and there weren’t nearly as many products back then), but the results were so dramatic and consistent that I decided I’d rather not buy a lot of new makeup and save that money to put into my skincare instead. I slowly tried (and added) more DE products as Tiffany introduced them. A few times I took a break to use up all the (high end) skincare samples I’d collected from Sephora over time, and while they were very good, after a few days without using DE I could always tell the difference in the appearance of my skin (including occasional breakouts). I’m in my 60s and everyone assumes I’m in my 40s. That’s partly thanks to the luck of good genes, but also partly thanks to my DE skincare regime. I look for other areas to save so I can keep using it. What we put on our skin also affects the rest of the body, so I want to use the safest, most gentle, but also effective ingredients I can, just as I care about what food I put into my body. Thanks so much for helping to introduce more people to this awesome line! You’re such a kind, witty, authentic and gentle soul. ❤️
Thanks for this thorough review. I have been using the C-firma for 2 years and my face and neck hyperpigmentation has disappeared. For those who are concerned with the cost I will say it is very reasonably priced considering the length of time to use it up. It has reservoir effect meaning that it is active on your skin for 72 hours after application so you can reapply after every 48 to 72 hours. I use mine every other mornings. A bottle last me 6 months, I keep mine is a dark cool place to limit exposure. Also sunscreen is a must with this product. I need to get myself more DE products.
Love your reviews!!! And I want to thank you for the most awesome tip about foundation: mixing it with oil!!!! I’ve tried it with Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid and a dry oil from a very popular drugstore in Spain, that contains rosehip, argan, sweet almonds oils and squalane. It’s amazing!!!! I’m 46 and I think it makes my skin really soft and juicy!!! I love foundation again thanks to your advice. Wish the best for you! :)
I’m obsessed with the DE baby facial as well as the products shown but I will never ever ever go without it, it says to use it as a mask but I use a tiny bit and just use it very lightly over my entire face it has transformed my skin and they recommend using the marula oil after and I agree bc it can dry your skin if you do not
Krista Papa I was using the dr gross peel and the exuviance peel but now babyfacial beats both hands down. I think of it more as a peel than a mask. I use it twice a week.
The best way ever that someone has explained to me how to use skincare properly without going on and on and on!!!! I love you wayne. Your skin has got better and better as time has gone by!!! I remember how red and irritated your skin was and look at it now. Thank you so much for this great and helpful video :)
Thank You so much for all of your informative videos! I have learned so much about how to and not to apply make up. I'm no longer wearing highlighter on nose and cheekbones and brow and forehead. My downturned eyes are looking better now that i'm using shadows properly (almost) and concealing where needed only. Using less foundation and getting better at blending. Not at 6 minutes yet, but it's looking way better! Less bronzer and contouring. Sheesh its alot to remember! But i'm still going to glitter the hell out of my eyelids because its just makeup after all and i love it. Thank you for skin care tips as well. Have a tremendous evening!
Same question here. I just recently bought a fair amount of PC products, and I’m very happy with them. But maybe I’ll try DE as I run out. I like the idea of fewer ingredients.
Fewer ingredients? Some of their products have extensive INCI lists, and DE doesn't even understand that a few of their ingredients actually violate their "suspicious 6" philosophy.
Cecielia Gregory he was almost exclusive to PC but she sold the company and they cost is creeping up. I used PC for 20 yrs and I’ve changed to DE. My skin became sensitized to it.
Because if you have I ordered these products. I am so glad I did! I am on five days and my skin is the best I’ve seen in years! Every day I have gone back to Sephora to purchase more of the Drunk Elephant skincare line. I wish I had bought this sooner. Thank you so much for introducing me to this line!! It has literally taken years off my face. I am so in love with Drunk Elephant !! Everything else I own is going in the trash!!! Thank you, Wayne😘😘😘
I tried D.E vit C serum last year and loved it.. thanks for reminding me I wanted to try more of their products. I agree about Tiffany’s gentle nature, that struck me too. gives me extra faith in the products somehow. Love your new hair cut, you suit it well... Wayne... I have to say, all round, you look really well just now!
I’m so keen to make the change over to D.E. Will do it slowly as I run out of other products so I can afford it. But my first item will be the sunscreen! Living in Australia you can’t go without it!
Good lord, you would think you had told people to toss all their other stuff out and only use DE. He admits its pricey, I for one am thankful someone else blows their money on it first with skin as sensitive as mine so I have an Idea if I'll be ok.
You inspired me and I just ordered a couple of DE's mini kits so I can give them a try. I've been blessed to have had great skin my entire life, but now that I'm in my 30's I feel like it's time to actually start taking care of it...my good genes can only last so long! As a side note, I love watching your videos and I don't even wear almost any makeup! I only use eye liner and mascara, but I still enjoy watching all your tips as if I was a makeup junkie. You're awesome!
Your skin looks great, but I have to agree with uutuber431...drunk elephant is over priced. Most people can’t afford to spend that much money on their skin care. I’m not knocking their brand...I’m sure it’s really great, but most people are like me and have little $$ left at the end of the month. Hard to justify spending money on luxury products.
I agree, this is a high end brand absolutely. Normally I'm funny about things like this but these products last SO long that I'm nowhere near the end of any of them yet. In fact I don't think I'm even half way through :) Thats how I justify the higher end price range xx
Check out Gothamista's recommendations. She has great budget-friendly options for every product you could need. I personally ordered some DE minis to see how I like them. I have crazy skin...might be worth it?
Wayne Goss Thank you! I’m trying to resist becoming a product junkie (might be too late 🤣) simply because a UA-camr I follow recommends something, but you are one of the few people I have come to trust to make fair and honest product recommendations. If you say these products are effective AND a good overall value, I can’t help but believe you. 😀
I’m in my late 40’s - and I’m suffering from awful breakouts (probably hormonal) - I’ve heard so many fab stories about DE , but didn’t know where or with what to start. This video has made it all clear - thank you Wayne - I’ll be putting it on my wish list for Christmas and my birthday ❤️
Hey Wayne, what about shelf life on the Vitamin C? How do we know it hasn’t been sitting on a shelf at Sephora for too long? Should we buy directly from Drunk Elephant? Thanks!
I started using DE exclusively, because of this video. It's been over 2 months and my skin has never looked better. I haven't used anything else since and I've bought almost every single product from the line and use it daily. Best skincare line I've ever used. No joke. I can't wait to try the new retinol product!
What perfect timing, I was just looking into adding some DE products to my skincare routine. You are the person I trust the most when it comes to reviews of things so this has given me all the information that I need to put together some products. Thanks Wayne love you
I just got my Drunk Elephant littles because I wanted to try your cocktail so bad 😂 came back to check the cocktail recipe and I'm gonna start with it TONIGHT!! I love and trust your reviews this is my forth or fifth purchase of skincare products that are recommended by you and all of them are just AMAZING!!!! Thanks a lot Wayne 💕
Idk why everyone is complaining about the price.. The price didn't say "affordable" skincare. Also just because you can't afford it doesn't mean it's overpriced.. It's not over-priced.. It works and it's worth the investment.
Other products that cost $10 work equally well, thus it is overpriced. If I can buy the raw materials and make the product myself for 1/20th the price (and I don't get bulk discounts that manufacturers do), then the brand is overpriced. If paying 10X as much for the same result is worth it to people, then to them it is worth the investment. If someone has the money to not care about price and they like the concept of DE or like the textures, etc....you cannot argue with that. But you can certainly argue that they are overpriced.
I’m not in a place where I can buy these products right away, but I’ve been eyeing them for months now. I just redeemed a sample of the marula oil from Sephora. I’m sooo excited that you posted this because with all my current acne, I was worried. Thank you!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Wayne, quick question on the Tretinoin cream. Do you put it straight into the your cocktail on its own or do you mix it with an activator? I have pharma grade tretinoin and it is supposed to be mixed together in equal parts - pea sized amount with what is referred to as a "blender", it is a opaque type of cream that is mixed together with the Tretinoin prior to application. This is how my derma has had me apply it. Those two products were always used together (I believe the blender may be hydroquinone). Please let me know how you are using it so I can ask my dermatologist if it is okay to skip the "blender" since I would be mixing Tretinoin with other products in the application process instead of applying these two products first and then following with layering products over (thinnest to thickest). I only use Tretinoin at night and use Supergoop unseen sunscreen during the day (year round). Thanks for this fantastic video. I will be sharing with my sister and niece as they are interested in the DE line and I will be picking up one of the DE holiday kits or a full size bottle of B-Hydra and maybe LaLa for my niece (B-Hydra only and her 18 yr old skin - match Made in heaven - stopped her break outs and her skin loves it). Thanks again, your content is always so unbiased and informative! Best, Lynn
I haven't seen you in so long , where have you been? You look good your skin looks healthier and beautiful. I just started with the drunk elephant last month and my skin looks so nice my skin tone is everything. I look so younger than last year. I am loving every bit of this product.
dear Wayne, I did not have any effect with DE vitamin C serum, and a bought it because of the hipe around this product. so as I think every skin is individual. but I agree on protini its amazing. have you tries Maelove Vitamin C serum? its only 27 usd. I am using it for a week now and its really nice. I can see the difference. So would love your opinion on brands like Maelove or Jordan Samuel and january labs (JL is in the same price range as DE). Loved this video. I think because of you will try marula oil ♡♡♡♡
Problem i see with the mealove serum is that it's exposed to air everytime you open it and the more you use more air gets in the bottle. Vitamin c oxidizes with contact with air and gets less and less effective and eventually you won't get any benefits from it and it could actually be bad for your skin to use it. And the bottle isn't completely light proof so light will aslo break down the vitamin c. Drunk elephant has completely opace and a air-thingt pump. But the ingredients looks good. But it will not be effective very long.
You need time with any vit c skin care to know if its working. I have been using DE C firma for 2 yeas (Use 2 bottles per year) I know Wayne said to only keep it for 3 months however, mine last 6 months and never changed colour. I keep it in a dark drawer to keep it fresh. And since it has reservoir effect, I only use it every 2 days and its turned my skin around. I use to have a lot of hyperpigmentation on my face and neck and its all cleared. My skin texture and dehydration has also improved. Mind you, I don’t use a lot of skin care product so I know that the C-firma did the trick. Warning, sunscreen is a must with this product.
Perfect timing, I was just searching for this exact type video 3 days because I was thinking of switching to DE. Thank you so much for the info. Love your videos!
Awesome review!! Thank you for sharing especially the cocktails combinations. I've been wondering how I should do this, with the Drunk Elephant products. 😊
TIffany is very nice, but her products made my face get more congested and other products didn’t improve my skin at all after using for 3-4 months. When I contacted customer service, they tried to shame me that their products work and I must have been using one of the suspicious six. I definitely had not. So although TM is a nice, intriguing woman, she needs to change the way her customer service deals with their consumers. If you wear makeup and then use her products after and before, you can break out. Unless she comes out with a makeup line sans the suspicious six, people are going to have reactions. Everybody’s skin is different.
I had a similar experience after I contacted them about the c-firma. I wasn't complaining, blaming them or asking for anything. I just explained that I think mine was off from the start because I've seen the product used on UA-cam and mine was a dark orange from the first use compared to a softer more golden hue that I'd seen online. I mentioned that Tiffany herself has said what colour it should be and so I gave them the number from my bottle just so they could look into it for themselves. I also explained that besides the colour being off, every single time I used it my skin got irritated. Then I would stop using it, irritation went away. Tried it again in a different manner and the irritation came back. And I repeated that several times. In my mail, I explained my skincare regime and that it's minimal, exactly which products I used and the type of ingredients I know not to use. That I eventually stopped using everything else and just the c-firma and that it still irritated my skin. The mail I got back was berating me that it was my own fault that it didn't work for me because their products are as good as perfect and other people love it and basically that it couldn't possibly have been their fault so it basically had to be mine. I was so disappointed by that reaction and I let them know that I was disappointed and surprised by their reaction being so far off the mark. I did get a reaction saying that indeed she has missed the entire point of my mail and she apologised.
Caroline Hirons talked about that in her brand video of DE. they need to deal better with customer and take their concern more seriously and not shame them
Thank you for this review. Out of all the videos I’ve already watched on this brand YOU are the only one that has convinced me to try it. Thank you again and I look forward to clear skin.
I just burnt the heck out of my skin using Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle RepIr. Today I bought Drunk Elephant The Littles Kit to see if I get results for my 56 year old skin. This review is helpful. Thanks so much for the review.
I did this a year ago and loved it. After I finished I kept using my favorite DE products and searched for a more affordable Vit C serum always looking out for the suspicious 6. Best skin I've ever had!
Wish I could afford it....not gonna happen unfortunately. Even the initial purchase is over my budget, and I feel that is the case for the average person. Even if the website had a 50% off everything sale it would be a major purchase. The only way I can try this is if it was gifted to me, but then I would not be able to repurchase after finishing it. I get that it is amazing, but that does the rest of us no good if it is not accessible to the average person. That said, your skin looks amazing, Wayne. I can still be happy for you while not being able to share in the experience.
Sephora has a couple of mini duos that are around $23-$25. They also released a few different kits where you can get a full sized product and some minis to try for about the same price as the full sized product alone
For my Sephora birthday gift I got a protini and a face wash. I'm in love. So pricey but I dont want to go back to old moisturizer. This truly moisturizes and plumps the skin. I'm in love!
I like DE products for the most part but I have to mention the smell of the C-Firma. I have no idea whether it worked or not because I couldn't get past the smell :( So it's worth noting that people with sensitive sniffers might have an issue with that one.
Most high end Vit c products that actually work smells like seiners. When I started using skinceuticals in 2000. I immediately noticed this. If I see a Vitc product that smells like fragrance that’s a sure sign its watered diluted product with filler ingredients.
Maria Hammill L’Oréal Revitalift 10% Vit C Serum has a very mild scent and works well at a fraction of the cost for the same amt as DE. Comes in a tube to protect the vit C. Feels silky and absorbs well.
I’ve always had issues with random breakouts of a zit or 2 ( especially if I wore makeup), redness, and acne scars. Since using DE my skin has never been better. I never wanted to splurge on the high prices either at first but I’m so glad I did. ITS WORTH IT! I never comment on UA-cam videos but I had too on this one. Using this for the past few months has cleared my skin, made me feel like I can wear makeup again without worrying about another breakout. I understand a lot of people not wanting to spend the money (which is okay) but a suggestion if you are Sephora member is to buy it during the vip sales where you can get either 10% 15% or 20% off depending what your status is and like he said the product lasts quite awhile. Anyway I hope this helps!
Can most of their products be cocktailed together? That’s where I start to get nervous & confused with products like this & The Ordinary etc, & I just give up before I start. What can & can’t be cocktailed together, is this going to stop that from working properly...etc. I don’t want to spend all this money on great products to have them rendered useless by my lack of knowledge. So I give up & just continue using my moisturiser & the odd treatment product here & there. Unfortunately I’m getting to the age where I have to start taking these things seriously though...so is there information provided as to what goes with what or do they all go together? Ugh! That was long, sorry! Your skin is looking great btw☺️
MrsBungle78 Great question! Wish the would have answered you. I worry about the same thing. I think there’s a high chance of cancelling out the effects of many skin care products when you layer them on top of one another. Maybe missing them together and then applying all at once IS the right /better way to do it! We should email DE and ask them about this.
LOVE Drunk Elephant skincare! You are so right about the C-Firma Day Serum brightening your skin...it’s amazing! I can tell a difference in your skin from your earlier videos! 😊😊😊
After watching many Dr. Dray videos, I decided to follow her AM/PM routine. TWO products, Neutrogena gentle cleanser; rinse; while face is still wet, put on Cerave cream. Gone are my toner, Clarisonic and 53 splashes of water to remove. Also gone are my teeny white under-the-skin bumps. At night, Retin A 0.1%. My skin looks great, still use Bare Minerals Summer Bisque if I want makeup. I AM SO HAPPY! Glad that you found a routine that works for you.
I love the mixing and making a cocktail idea! I have been doing that with several diff products and my skin seems to respond better. Thank u for sharing! Can't wait to try DE!! Have wanted to for a while now! Your skin looks great "neat"!
K. Eaton Not a product, but massaging your face by rubbing your hands together, moving your fists across your forehead towards the opposite sides of your face, then taking your middle and pointer fingers in a peace sign formation underneath/around your eyes, is a good practice for dark circles that costs no money.
Thank you SO much for sharing the combinations you use! I have several of these products and I was clueless as to how to combine them. You look gorgeous, but then what's new about that! :D I see your redness is gone, that's my #1 concern right now - can't wait to try this!
Wayne, thank you for the video! I’m waiting for the marula oil and the bars which I ordered last week, now I’m even more excited when I know you recommend them😁 Thank you!
Wayne please do a "where to save and where to spend" video. I'm sure there are some cheaper options worth having whilst other products worth spending more on. Maybe facial wash for saving and some sort of serum or acid for the products to invest more in?
Little Voice you shouldn’t save on cleanser that’s the thing u need to spend on for it to work
I respectfully disagree with spending on cleanser. In my experience, a good cleanser and moisturizer can be found at the drugstore (or drugstore section of Ulta). Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and PM moisturizer are great. I have been advised to spend $ in the middle of the routine (so the C Firma or other serums). That said, there are good inexpensive serums. But I’m almost 40 so I think of it as an investment. For the record, I have combination, acne-prone, dehydrated skin with large pores, PIE from acne, and moderate rosacea.
@@garmonbozia_ thank you
Little Voice no problem! I am on a tight budget myself but Wayne is right that the products last almost 6 months if you don’t slather. If I were to get only one DE product it would be C Firma. If I were to get only 2 it would be that and Protini. Hope this helps ❤️
I agree with ambriel. Any dermatologist would happily point you to CeraVe for the cleanser and moisturizer. Use DE for the serums :-) And I, personally, love Tarte's maracuja oil and mermaid serum (they frequently have sales!) if you can't afford DE marula and b hydra.
DE can take my money for the rest of my life!!! Best thing I’ve ever put on my skin. Been using for almost a year now
What products do you use?
I’ve been dying for a thorough and in-depth review and step by step (with the mixing of the cocktails and it’s different products and uses) and I’m so happy to have found yours!! I have all the items in my Sephora basket and have been waiting to make sure I was buying all the right things!! Thank you so much and I’m excited to try my products now!
Been using for about 2 weeks and seeing a massive difference. Wanted to see what your thoughts were on it and now I’m even more convinced its just amazing x
Hello Wayne!! Great to see you! I’m so happy for you. You are so right with how many people who aren’t so nice compared to the truly kind inside and out people. Thanks for this video!
Cindy Troxler l
I am SO GLAD you made this video. My daughter and I have just recently began using Drunk Elephant products and the results we are seeing are phenomenal. I'm 56 and she is 21. Thank you for going in depth with each product.
You turned me onto drunk elephant a while ago. My skin has been amazing. 10/10 recommend their products. Well worth the price.
Thank you Wayne! I’ve been using Drunk Elephant for about six months....I had such a difficult winter skin wise last year, I was going nuts! Drunk Elephant saved me. I love Protini, Marula Oil, TLC and LaLa as you do. Great stuff! Delighted we are having the same experience! Love you and keep up the good work!
wayne. you are serously a breath of fresh air in this beauty community. props to you for staying true to yourself. nothing but love from nz xx
Protini is my favorite too! Thanks for sharing your experience. It was pretty much exactly the same as mine. Your skin looks amazing, Wayne!
I love your videos Jen!!! :)
Is it suitable fo oily acne prone skin? Im looking for a night cream..
@@jeungsasa I realize you aren't asking me but I wouldn't use it for my oily/combo/acne prone skin bc it contains marula oil. The only oil I have found that doesn't cause me to breakout is jojoba oil.
@@AndreaHa I even find jojoba oil breaking me out. The only oil that suit me is squalane oil, I absolutely adore it. Thank you for sharing :)
@@jeungsasa I have never tried anything with squalane oil 🤗
Omg thank u sooo much Wayne. I tried the Marula oil and the tlc framboos about three months ago and I am obsessed too. My skin has never looked or felt better. Love the individual product breakdown.
Thank you for the thorough explanation of how you use the Drunk Elephant line! I’ve heard such good things about the products, but was confused about which products to buy and how they should be used. This was a long video for you, BUT as always, there was a ton of information. And no time was wasted. You skin is looking amazing!
Thank you for this review Wayne! I also have issues with vit C products as they block my pores so I am very glad you tested this serum. I love your honesty and enthusiasm. Your skin looks amazing!
Wayne, you are very kind, gentle and at ease beauty and makeup consultant I’ve ever heard. Kudos
Wayne, DE products have made a huge difference to my skin too! Been using their products for 2 years now. My mature skin loves DE! Never tried making a skin cocktail before. Maybe I’ll try it. Thanks for the review!
L C What DE products to you use and what changes have you seen?
Your skin & complexion look F’ing AMAZING!! I’ve seen. Drunk Elephant at Sephora and was tempted to try it but now, i’ll be purchasing a select group of products to try based on your video. Love this ‘cocktail’ ritual and alternating products after one month. THANK YOU! Again, your skin looks 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This brand SAVED my skin and I love it! This and Youth to the People is all I use.
My 16 y.o. daughter and I both love the DE marula oil for different reasons...it has done such a great job healing her acne scars and has improved her glow beautifully, she was really nervous about an oil at first but it doesn't clog her pores. We also like the ordinarys version of marula oil and other products but honestly prefer DE and love their packaging.
This is so informative, thank you! Been obsessed with Drunk Elephant products recently and loved your cocktail combos. Can’t wait to try them!
Thank you SO much for this skin care review! I love that you showed all the products first, and then went over everything again in the amounts that you use. Skin care can be so complicated, and I am never sure what products are good for me. I have just started showing the signs of aging as I just turned 60, but I have good genetics. My mom had beautiful skin. I'll have to buy the Drunk Elephant products over time, but within a year I should be on a complete regimen. Keep doing what you do. You're wonderful
The marula oil alone has completely made my rosacea bumps disappear! I am sold for life.
I use Tarte Maracuja oil. Works great.
Its great isn't it and unlike a lot of the other brands that sell it cheaply, these are sourced with integrity and fair-trade also which is so good xx
What? Ok I’m trying it 😋
Curious, I lived in the UK and I could get my hands on DE from Amazon. Once I moved back to Portugal it was impossible for me to get it and all the sudden I started to get bumps! Turns out it's papulopostular rosacea! 😫 I'm going to get de again to see if I can control it again.
@@PhoeNEx10 where abouts in the uk did u live i live in england n if drunk elephant is 90$ in america its £90 here which is ridiculous they never converted it
For anyone who is interested, I have had terrible luck with primers. I’ve tried a lot of expensive ones. I’m not sure how, but I tried mixing one pump of Drunk Elephant C-Firma and B-Hydra together and putting on my face as a primer. My foundation goes on smoother, and actually lasts all day. I bought the minis, and they really last. I’m 46, very sensitive, dry, and fair skin. And I use one pump of Marula mixed with Framboos at bedtime. Just give it a shot with the minis.
Love is so nice isn’t it. However I wouldn’t recommend exfoliating with the glycolic night serum every day. I use mine max 3 nights a week. Though I also use it anywhere on my body where I feel some texture. I also love my tango eye cream! I may try the protini next...but so far I’m loving every purchase!
I have been eyeing Drunk Elephant products for many months and I’m very happy to see this video from you! Now I have a much better idea of what to buy. Thanks, Wayne!
“I don’t go anywhere but care so much about my skin that no one ever sees” that cracked me up. Haha jokes aside, I am officially obsessed with DE now and thinking to throw or give all my other products away! Especially since I discovered their hair care as well, my hair has never been so silky from the first wash! I mean it, they are great brand. Sad to see some influencers are punishing them for bad replies on social media, but hope they would change their social media team and move on! Because the products are real good!
Your soul just radiates with kindness and sensitivity I wish you were my bestie! The world needs more people like you
I absolutely LOVE DE and use a lot of their products in my AM and PM routines. C firma, Protini, C Tango, Umbra sunscreen, Beste cleanser, Lala, Marula oil. Probably a couple more that I'm missing. They have done wonders for my skin and I'm hoping since I started getting really into skincare younger that my skin will look amazing later in life. Yes, their products are expensive but I find ways to make them work in my budget because they provide results. Better to spend more on skincare now than spend thousands on filler and botox later 🤷🏼♀️
I adore your no BS approach to what you talk about. Thanks for the information!
The vitamin C has changed my skin and my face drinks it up! It truly has brightened my skin and I’m 39 years old! I can’t live without this line!
Margaret Merrick do you use it everyday?
Yes, every morning after washing and toning.
Your skin is amazing!! This video is perfect. I have some of these products and wasn’t quite sure the best way to use them and here you are giving me everything I needed to know. Thank you💕💕
Wayne, your skin looks amazing!! I’ve been wanting to try some of the drunk elephant products so now after seeing this you have sold me on several of her products!! Thank you for this!! ♥️♥️
I love to know the people behind the product are good people . It's so important to me and you are a great guide . Thank you so much !🦋🤗
I love love love DE and I’ve had skin issues for most of my life and I’m now in my 30s and have been using DE for about 3 months and I will never use anything else, but what I did was I went to Sephora and asked for samples of what DE I wanted to try one by one to see if it worked for my skin and if it did I’d purchase a larger size and doing the cocktail method saves me soooo much product and money as well
Thank you so much for making this video. I have all of the products minus the sunscreen and the bronzer and I haven’t used them yet. I just was not to sure where to start. Now I am excited to give it a go! Your videos are the most helpful and opposite of the other “beauty gurus”. You are not pushing brands in our face. You help me with technique and to me, that is the most valuable thing you can give to your audience. I have lupus so my skin is forever changing so when I watched your foundation video and eyeshadow videos, I realized less is better. I was going crazy with it and it took forever for blending it out. I love your techniques and thank you for sharing them. You inspire me to be better at makeup and being a kinder person. I just wanted you to know I appreciate you and the time you give in your videos. They are shorter but carry more substance than others. Again, thank you.
Thanks for the video. Can you make one with inexpensive dupes for deciem as they may no longer be around?!?
drawnbyschiele I just read this yesterday. The founder of deciem plans to shut down operations for 2 months (?) bc of internal drama? Honestly I don’t understand what’s going on. If you do a search online you can get more information. I live in nyc so plan to go by their retail stores just to see. Situation looks very fluid and ambiguous so I think it’s best to keep checking online for any updates.
Comfrey oil, read up what it dies for skin. I've been using it two weeks my skin looks like it did when I was 16. Many skincare lines use comfrey
@@golfchicknyc1 Yes Brandon has pulled the plug on Deciem. Frankly to put it politely.....He has definitely lost the plot!
He's throwing around such wild accusations I'm not sure there can be a come back for him.
drawnbyschiele 😮😰😳
Ginny Bloomer If he gets help for his bipolar disorder (manic depression) and gets stabilized maybe he can. But until then .... It’s so sad. I hate to see someone who’s done so much good spin out of control without good people by his side to do a literal INTERVENTION on him. Unfortunately these powerful people surround themselves with an armour of YES puppets who are not concerned for his welfare and allow for his mess to continue at too much cost and collateral damage. I’m very sad! 😥
I’m 24 and have very sensitive skin.
I watched this, the next day I went and bought the little ones set and have been using it since.
My skin has never been better.
The pimples have cleared, my pores are smaller, and my skintone has evened out.
Your recommendation has changed my face. Thank you so much.
I love that you're open about your acne, I'm in my mid twenties and feel shit about mine. Literally had some man come up to me last week telling me makeup wasn't going to help my acne and blah blah 😪 I explained it was hormonal and have it anyway, so I may as well do what I enjoy 😂 ahh, feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one struggling with adult acne 💛
Edit: You're all really helpful and supportive, it's kind of overwhelming (in a good way, since so much of the internet is just toxic and mean), thank you ~ 💛
Not alone at all! I too struggle with adult acne.
Grab a bar of Dove soap, available at any Dollar Store. Use only that (no toners, no acne creams or washes) 2x a day for 2 weeks. Makeup is okay! When I was your age my Mom took me to the Derm (because it was BAD!!) who said try that come back if it doesn't work. Decades later, still using it! Cheap enough to try anyway! :) Best wishes!!
hormonal acne is sooo hard to deal with!!! i have it too. everyone always seems to have a "solution" that works but for hormonal cystic acne it's so deep and hard to treat. that guy sounded like a jerk! youtube has helped me so much with finding a community of like-minded people who also have adult acne.
Kimberly I'll give it a try, hopefully it helps 💛
Lisa Fenix he was a jerk hahaha 😂 I was standing at the bus stop deep in thought and he walks up to me like "you have that acne don't you?" Maybe he was a bit slow I really don't know 😩 it really is hard, it'll flare up or go away when I don't even change anything, it's frustrating 😩 anyway recommendations for other channels/communities? 💛
I’ve been on a drunk elephant bend ever since this video and my skin has IMPROVED. The Pekee bar has been the biggest hero for my irritated skin. I’m two months into mostly drunk elephant and my skin looks and feels x10 better. Thank you for sharing your skincare story!!
Wayne, your skin look maaaahvelous (and so does the rest of you)! I’ve been using Drunk Elephant products since shortly after they were launched. I started small because of the cost (and there weren’t nearly as many products back then), but the results were so dramatic and consistent that I decided I’d rather not buy a lot of new makeup and save that money to put into my skincare instead. I slowly tried (and added) more DE products as Tiffany introduced them. A few times I took a break to use up all the (high end) skincare samples I’d collected from Sephora over time, and while they were very good, after a few days without using DE I could always tell the difference in the appearance of my skin (including occasional breakouts). I’m in my 60s and everyone assumes I’m in my 40s. That’s partly thanks to the luck of good genes, but also partly thanks to my DE skincare regime. I look for other areas to save so I can keep using it. What we put on our skin also affects the rest of the body, so I want to use the safest, most gentle, but also effective ingredients I can, just as I care about what food I put into my body. Thanks so much for helping to introduce more people to this awesome line! You’re such a kind, witty, authentic and gentle soul. ❤️
I so agree. I turned 60 and people think I'm in my 40s. It's great!
Margaret Schindel you don’t look anywhere near 60
Rose Isabelle Thank you! ❤️
You look fantastic Margaret ❤️
I buy raw shea butter and raw coco butter its beautiful for the skin..
100 natural and so nourishing.
Thanks for this thorough review. I have been using the C-firma for 2 years and my face and neck hyperpigmentation has disappeared. For those who are concerned with the cost I will say it is very reasonably priced considering the length of time to use it up. It has reservoir effect meaning that it is active on your skin for 72 hours after application so you can reapply after every 48 to 72 hours. I use mine every other mornings. A bottle last me 6 months, I keep mine is a dark cool place to limit exposure.
Also sunscreen is a must with this product.
I need to get myself more DE products.
Love your reviews!!! And I want to thank you for the most awesome tip about foundation: mixing it with oil!!!! I’ve tried it with Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid and a dry oil from a very popular drugstore in Spain, that contains rosehip, argan, sweet almonds oils and squalane. It’s amazing!!!! I’m 46 and I think it makes my skin really soft and juicy!!! I love foundation again thanks to your advice. Wish the best for you! :)
Cannot help but love this guy!! Wayne, where have you been all my life? I adore your honesty and gorgeous smile!
I’m obsessed with the DE baby facial as well as the products shown but I will never ever ever go without it, it says to use it as a mask but I use a tiny bit and just use it very lightly over my entire face it has transformed my skin and they recommend using the marula oil after and I agree bc it can dry your skin if you do not
Krista Papa I was using the dr gross peel and the exuviance peel but now babyfacial beats both hands down. I think of it more as a peel than a mask. I use it twice a week.
Krista Papa What does it do for your face?
The best way ever that someone has explained to me how to use skincare properly without going on and on and on!!!!
I love you wayne.
Your skin has got better and better as time has gone by!!!
I remember how red and irritated your skin was and look at it now.
Thank you so much for this great and helpful video :)
Thank You so much for all of your informative videos! I have learned so much about how to and not to apply make up. I'm no longer wearing highlighter on nose and cheekbones and brow and forehead. My downturned eyes are looking better now that i'm using shadows properly (almost) and concealing where needed only. Using less foundation and getting better at blending. Not at 6 minutes yet, but it's looking way better! Less bronzer and contouring. Sheesh its alot to remember! But i'm still going to glitter the hell out of my eyelids because its just makeup after all and i love it. Thank you for skin care tips as well. Have a tremendous evening!
A little bit of a longer video from Wayne...Yay! What a treat!
Do you still use Paula's Choice or has this replaced those products for you?
Bendini same question
Same question here. I just recently bought a fair amount of PC products, and I’m very happy with them. But maybe I’ll try DE as I run out. I like the idea of fewer ingredients.
Fewer ingredients? Some of their products have extensive INCI lists, and DE doesn't even understand that a few of their ingredients actually violate their "suspicious 6" philosophy.
I will never give up my PC products. Love them.
Cecielia Gregory he was almost exclusive to PC but she sold the company and they cost is creeping up. I used PC for 20 yrs and I’ve changed to DE. My skin became sensitized to it.
Because if you have I ordered these products. I am so glad I did! I am on five days and my skin is the best I’ve seen in years! Every day I have gone back to Sephora to purchase more of the Drunk Elephant skincare line. I wish I had bought this sooner. Thank you so much for introducing me to this line!! It has literally taken years off my face. I am so in love with Drunk Elephant !! Everything else I own is going in the trash!!! Thank you, Wayne😘😘😘
I love the babyfacial weekly peel and need to try a few more of the drunk elephant products. Especially that vitamin c! Loved the review! xoox
Beauty By Anne-Marie what is your skin type and what benefits of that peel
I tried D.E vit C serum last year and loved it.. thanks for reminding me I wanted to try more of their products. I agree about Tiffany’s gentle nature, that struck me too. gives me extra faith in the products somehow. Love your new hair cut, you suit it well... Wayne... I have to say, all round, you look really well just now!
I’m so keen to make the change over to D.E. Will do it slowly as I run out of other products so I can afford it. But my first item will be the sunscreen! Living in Australia you can’t go without it!
Good lord, you would think you had told people to toss all their other stuff out and only use DE. He admits its pricey, I for one am thankful someone else blows their money on it first with skin as sensitive as mine so I have an Idea if I'll be ok.
You inspired me and I just ordered a couple of DE's mini kits so I can give them a try. I've been blessed to have had great skin my entire life, but now that I'm in my 30's I feel like it's time to actually start taking care of it...my good genes can only last so long! As a side note, I love watching your videos and I don't even wear almost any makeup! I only use eye liner and mascara, but I still enjoy watching all your tips as if I was a makeup junkie. You're awesome!
Your skin looks fabulous! Thank you for the review, now I want to try it!
Wayne, your enthusiasm for this is contagious. I had chosen a sample of the DE peptides. Will check out the collection as well. Thank you
Your skin looks great, but I have to agree with uutuber431...drunk elephant is over priced. Most people can’t afford to spend that much money on their skin care. I’m not knocking their brand...I’m sure it’s really great, but most people are like me and have little $$ left at the end of the month. Hard to justify spending money on luxury products.
I agree, this is a high end brand absolutely. Normally I'm funny about things like this but these products last SO long that I'm nowhere near the end of any of them yet. In fact I don't think I'm even half way through :) Thats how I justify the higher end price range xx
Check out Gothamista's recommendations. She has great budget-friendly options for every product you could need. I personally ordered some DE minis to see how I like them. I have crazy skin...might be worth it?
Wayne Goss thank you!
Try the ordinary
Wayne Goss Thank you! I’m trying to resist becoming a product junkie (might be too late 🤣) simply because a UA-camr I follow recommends something, but you are one of the few people I have come to trust to make fair and honest product recommendations. If you say these products are effective AND a good overall value, I can’t help but believe you. 😀
I’m in my late 40’s - and I’m suffering from awful breakouts (probably hormonal) - I’ve heard so many fab stories about DE , but didn’t know where or with what to start.
This video has made it all clear - thank you Wayne - I’ll be putting it on my wish list for Christmas and my birthday ❤️
Looking amazing but..... if I bought a few of these I would need to give up food for the month because it’s soooo expensive 😅
Your skin looks amazing!! I love your videos. Straight to the point and honest, no waffle.
Did you get to meet Caroline Hirons at the launch??
Drunk Elephant skincare has changed my life!! It's the one thing I will splurge on!
Hey Wayne, what about shelf life on the Vitamin C? How do we know it hasn’t been sitting on a shelf at Sephora for too long? Should we buy directly from Drunk Elephant? Thanks!
Allie Greenwell it has a 1 year shelf life and 6 months expiration after opening.
Nama Steph thanks!
I started using DE exclusively, because of this video. It's been over 2 months and my skin has never looked better. I haven't used anything else since and I've bought almost every single product from the line and use it daily. Best skincare line I've ever used. No joke. I can't wait to try the new retinol product!
I am a “ordinary” girl. It’s perfect for my pocket, and has worked amazingly on my skin.
You are the best! I don't subscribe to many channels but I do yours and I watch just about everything you put out. Keep sending the good stuff.
DE Sounds awesome but I can’t afford it cause in the words of kathleen lights “das expensive” 😂
Sandyy Gonzales the Ordinary has great skin care products, same result way better pricing,.
I've tried both and the results are not the same at all.
Drunk elephant is better? I mainly use The Ordinary but im interested in trying some of the Drunk Elephant products
Sadly the Ordinary has shut down.. Or I should say Deciem has shut down.. Brandon shut it all down yesterday..
@@62roxana really????????????
What perfect timing, I was just looking into adding some DE products to my skincare routine. You are the person I trust the most when it comes to reviews of things so this has given me all the information that I need to put together some products. Thanks Wayne love you
I love ur hair!! Have you done something different to it? You look different today 😄
It's a fuller mustache and also darker hair it seems. :-)
@@Galemor1 i thought it looked different :) it looks great tho! As always
I loved the salt and pepper 😍
I think he got a haircut which may have cut off some highlights.
I just got my Drunk Elephant littles because I wanted to try your cocktail so bad 😂 came back to check the cocktail recipe and I'm gonna start with it TONIGHT!! I love and trust your reviews this is my forth or fifth purchase of skincare products that are recommended by you and all of them are just AMAZING!!!! Thanks a lot Wayne 💕
Idk why everyone is complaining about the price.. The price didn't say "affordable" skincare. Also just because you can't afford it doesn't mean it's overpriced.. It's not over-priced.. It works and it's worth the investment.
Other products that cost $10 work equally well, thus it is overpriced. If I can buy the raw materials and make the product myself for 1/20th the price (and I don't get bulk discounts that manufacturers do), then the brand is overpriced. If paying 10X as much for the same result is worth it to people, then to them it is worth the investment. If someone has the money to not care about price and they like the concept of DE or like the textures, etc....you cannot argue with that. But you can certainly argue that they are overpriced.
I’m not in a place where I can buy these products right away, but I’ve been eyeing them for months now. I just redeemed a sample of the marula oil from Sephora. I’m sooo excited that you posted this because with all my current acne, I was worried. Thank you!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Wayne, quick question on the Tretinoin cream. Do you put it straight into the your cocktail on its own or do you mix it with an activator? I have pharma grade tretinoin and it is supposed to be mixed together in equal parts - pea sized amount with what is referred to as a "blender", it is a opaque type of cream that is mixed together with the Tretinoin prior to application. This is how my derma has had me apply it. Those two products were always used together (I believe the blender may be hydroquinone). Please let me know how you are using it so I can ask my dermatologist if it is okay to skip the "blender" since I would be mixing Tretinoin with other products in the application process instead of applying these two products first and then following with layering products over (thinnest to thickest). I only use Tretinoin at night and use Supergoop unseen sunscreen during the day (year round). Thanks for this fantastic video. I will be sharing with my sister and niece as they are interested in the DE line and I will be picking up one of the DE holiday kits or a full size bottle of B-Hydra and maybe LaLa for my niece (B-Hydra only and her 18 yr old skin - match Made in heaven - stopped her break outs and her skin loves it). Thanks again, your content is always so unbiased and informative! Best, Lynn
C-Firma, Protini Powerserum, C-Tango, Shaba & Protini Moisturizer is my daily DE routine and I LOVE IT! I’ve seen incredible results.
I LOVE Drunk Elephant! Best skin care results I've had in years. Agreed! creating a personalised cocktail with the products is key. xo Vee
I haven't seen you in so long , where have you been? You look good your skin looks healthier and beautiful. I just started with the drunk elephant last month and my skin looks so nice my skin tone is everything. I look so younger than last year. I am loving every bit of this product.
dear Wayne, I did not have any effect with DE vitamin C serum, and a bought it because of the hipe around this product. so as I think every skin is individual. but I agree on protini its amazing. have you tries Maelove Vitamin C serum? its only 27 usd. I am using it for a week now and its really nice. I can see the difference. So would love your opinion on brands like Maelove or Jordan Samuel and january labs (JL is in the same price range as DE). Loved this video. I think because of you will try marula oil ♡♡♡♡
I just bought the Maelove serum, yes it is good stuff.
Vitamin c takes a while before you see results.
You can't see any difference in one week
Problem i see with the mealove serum is that it's exposed to air everytime you open it and the more you use more air gets in the bottle. Vitamin c oxidizes with contact with air and gets less and less effective and eventually you won't get any benefits from it and it could actually be bad for your skin to use it. And the bottle isn't completely light proof so light will aslo break down the vitamin c. Drunk elephant has completely opace and a air-thingt pump. But the ingredients looks good. But it will not be effective very long.
You need time with any vit c skin care to know if its working. I have been using DE C firma for 2 yeas (Use 2 bottles per year) I know Wayne said to only keep it for 3 months however, mine last 6 months and never changed colour. I keep it in a dark drawer to keep it fresh. And since it has reservoir effect, I only use it every 2 days and its turned my skin around. I use to have a lot of hyperpigmentation on my face and neck and its all cleared. My skin texture and dehydration has also improved. Mind you, I don’t use a lot of skin care product so I know that the C-firma did the trick. Warning, sunscreen is a must with this product.
Perfect timing, I was just searching for this exact type video 3 days because I was thinking of switching to DE. Thank you so much for the info. Love your videos!
*uh oh* Paula's Choice has some competition!
Awesome review!! Thank you for sharing especially the cocktails combinations. I've been wondering how I should do this, with the Drunk Elephant products. 😊
TIffany is very nice, but her products made my face get more congested and other products didn’t improve my skin at all after using for 3-4 months. When I contacted customer service, they tried to shame me that their products work and I must have been using one of the suspicious six. I definitely had not. So although TM is a nice, intriguing woman, she needs to change the way her customer service deals with their consumers. If you wear makeup and then use her products after and before, you can break out. Unless she comes out with a makeup line sans the suspicious six, people are going to have reactions. Everybody’s skin is different.
Super Vixen What are the suspicious six?
@@nicolekawa1265 Wayne lists them in this video.
Lori K...thanks realized after I posted.
I had a similar experience after I contacted them about the c-firma. I wasn't complaining, blaming them or asking for anything. I just explained that I think mine was off from the start because I've seen the product used on UA-cam and mine was a dark orange from the first use compared to a softer more golden hue that I'd seen online. I mentioned that Tiffany herself has said what colour it should be and so I gave them the number from my bottle just so they could look into it for themselves. I also explained that besides the colour being off, every single time I used it my skin got irritated. Then I would stop using it, irritation went away. Tried it again in a different manner and the irritation came back. And I repeated that several times. In my mail, I explained my skincare regime and that it's minimal, exactly which products I used and the type of ingredients I know not to use. That I eventually stopped using everything else and just the c-firma and that it still irritated my skin. The mail I got back was berating me that it was my own fault that it didn't work for me because their products are as good as perfect and other people love it and basically that it couldn't possibly have been their fault so it basically had to be mine. I was so disappointed by that reaction and I let them know that I was disappointed and surprised by their reaction being so far off the mark. I did get a reaction saying that indeed she has missed the entire point of my mail and she apologised.
Caroline Hirons talked about that in her brand video of DE. they need to deal better with customer and take their concern more seriously and not shame them
Thank you for this review. Out of all the videos I’ve already watched on this brand YOU are the only one that has convinced me to try it. Thank you again and I look forward to clear skin.
Wayne, any idea why Drunk Elephant didn't release their sunscreen in the UK?
I just burnt the heck out of my skin using Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle RepIr. Today I bought Drunk Elephant The Littles Kit to see if I get results for my 56 year old skin. This review is helpful. Thanks so much for the review.
“This is my face & I wear it every day”. 😃👍👍🇨🇦
I did this a year ago and loved it. After I finished I kept using my favorite DE products and searched for a more affordable Vit C serum always looking out for the suspicious 6. Best skin I've ever had!
Wish I could afford it....not gonna happen unfortunately. Even the initial purchase is over my budget, and I feel that is the case for the average person. Even if the website had a 50% off everything sale it would be a major purchase. The only way I can try this is if it was gifted to me, but then I would not be able to repurchase after finishing it. I get that it is amazing, but that does the rest of us no good if it is not accessible to the average person. That said, your skin looks amazing, Wayne. I can still be happy for you while not being able to share in the experience.
There are very similar products w/ marula oil out there which existed well before DE. You can find them and you can afford them.
Sephora has the minis set for around $100.
@That's Classic Her Took your advice.
@Princess Nikki Also not in my budget, but I truly appreciate the info
Sephora has a couple of mini duos that are around $23-$25. They also released a few different kits where you can get a full sized product and some minis to try for about the same price as the full sized product alone
For my Sephora birthday gift I got a protini and a face wash. I'm in love. So pricey but I dont want to go back to old moisturizer. This truly moisturizes and plumps the skin. I'm in love!
I like DE products for the most part but I have to mention the smell of the C-Firma. I have no idea whether it worked or not because I couldn't get past the smell :( So it's worth noting that people with sensitive sniffers might have an issue with that one.
Maria Hammill smells like meat... so gross!
Most high end Vit c products that actually work smells like seiners. When I started using skinceuticals in 2000. I immediately noticed this. If I see a Vitc product that smells like fragrance that’s a sure sign its watered diluted product with filler ingredients.
Maria Hammill L’Oréal Revitalift 10% Vit C Serum has a very mild scent and works well at a fraction of the cost for the same amt as DE. Comes in a tube to protect the vit C. Feels silky and absorbs well.
I’ve always had issues with random breakouts of a zit or 2 ( especially if I wore makeup), redness, and acne scars. Since using DE my skin has never been better. I never wanted to splurge on the high prices either at first but I’m so glad I did. ITS WORTH IT! I never comment on UA-cam videos but I had too on this one. Using this for the past few months has cleared my skin, made me feel like I can wear makeup again without worrying about another breakout. I understand a lot of people not wanting to spend the money (which is okay) but a suggestion if you are Sephora member is to buy it during the vip sales where you can get either 10% 15% or 20% off depending what your status is and like he said the product lasts quite awhile. Anyway I hope this helps!
Can most of their products be cocktailed together? That’s where I start to get nervous & confused with products like this & The Ordinary etc, & I just give up before I start. What can & can’t be cocktailed together, is this going to stop that from working properly...etc. I don’t want to spend all this money on great products to have them rendered useless by my lack of knowledge. So I give up & just continue using my moisturiser & the odd treatment product here & there. Unfortunately I’m getting to the age where I have to start taking these things seriously though...so is there information provided as to what goes with what or do they all go together?
Ugh! That was long, sorry! Your skin is looking great btw☺️
Don't mix water and oil based products
MrsBungle78 Great question! Wish the would have answered you. I worry about the same thing. I think there’s a high chance of cancelling out the effects of many skin care products when you layer them on top of one another. Maybe missing them together and then applying all at once IS the right /better way to do it! We should email DE and ask them about this.
LOVE Drunk Elephant skincare! You are so right about the C-Firma Day Serum brightening your skin...it’s amazing! I can tell a difference in your skin from your earlier videos! 😊😊😊
After watching many Dr. Dray videos, I decided to follow her AM/PM routine.
TWO products, Neutrogena gentle cleanser; rinse; while face is still wet, put on Cerave cream. Gone are my toner, Clarisonic and 53 splashes of water to remove. Also gone are my teeny white under-the-skin bumps. At night, Retin A 0.1%. My skin looks great, still use Bare Minerals Summer Bisque if I want makeup. I AM SO HAPPY! Glad that you found a routine that works for you.
Your reviews are fantastic, detailed and straight to the point. I was considering using the entire line and this review has me sold. Thank you.
Wayne, if you are talking I am not skipping ahead. 🤗
I love the mixing and making a cocktail idea! I have been doing that with several diff products and my skin seems to respond better. Thank u for sharing! Can't wait to try DE!! Have wanted to for a while now! Your skin looks great "neat"!
I hope they come out with the holiday trunk set❤️
I just love you as a person, you are adorable and I would be lost in this big cosmetic world without you!!!! THANK YOU SO, SO, SO MUCH!
any recommendations for dark under eye circles?
K. Eaton Not a product, but massaging your face by rubbing your hands together, moving your fists across your forehead towards the opposite sides of your face, then taking your middle and pointer fingers in a peace sign formation underneath/around your eyes, is a good practice for dark circles that costs no money.
Thank you SO much for sharing the combinations you use! I have several of these products and I was clueless as to how to combine them. You look gorgeous, but then what's new about that! :D I see your redness is gone, that's my #1 concern right now - can't wait to try this!
Wayne when did you stop using the Ordinary?
Wayne, thank you for the video! I’m waiting for the marula oil and the bars which I ordered last week, now I’m even more excited when I know you recommend them😁 Thank you!
