What to Look For in Drunk Elephant Products Due to my sensitivity, I was a bit wary going into this review. However, I can firmly say I'm absolutely in love with Drunk Elephant's A-Shaba Complex Eye Serum. Loaded with potent antioxidants such as astaxanthin, grape juice, zinc oxide, and sunflower shoot extract, this specialized mixture helps to minimize the appearance of photoaging. It also contains raspberry and marula oils to help moisturize the skin without leaving that unwanted white residue and greasiness. According to a publication in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging, retinol can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and unclog pores. Pretty impressive, right?

As for the key ingredients used in Drunk Elephant products, we noticed that this brand utilizes a wide variety of unique ingredients that you typically won’t find other skin care brands using, such as pineapple ceramide, acai fruit oil, and cantaloupe fruit extract, just to name a few.

Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water is formulated to thoroughly and gently remove makeup, dirt, pollution, and bacteria from the face and eye area without sensitization, irritation, or stripping the skin’s acid mantle. It has a milky texture due to the combination of moisturizing ceramides, plant oils, and vitamin E. The formula features a “micellar cleansing blend”, which is a mix of gentle surfactants and emollients that help to capture and wash away dirt, pollution, and other impurities. Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water also helps to replenish the skin barrier due to ceramides AP, NP, and EOP. Derived from plant sources, these ceramides are identical to the wax-like moisturizing substance that occurs naturally in skin. Ceramides strengthen the skin barrier, thereby helping to soothe and maintain the moisture balance of skin while protecting against water loss. Lastly, Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water contains a blend of unique botanical oils, including marula, mongongo, baobab, and passionfruit oil. The original formula was good, but this new and improved one is great. My eyes didn't suffer from any redness or irritation, and while I can't say for sure if it helps with fine lines (thanks, Botox), I can say it made my skin feel tight and firm and even seemed to reduce puffiness. I especially love putting this on right when I wake up and have found it layers well under makeup. Shao Y, He T, Fisher GJ, Voorhees JJ, Quan T.

Drunk Elephant uses an assortment of moisturizing agents in their products, which will help prevent your skin from looking dry. Marula oil is one example, and another is polypeptides.

Since its inception, she has created products with a focus on good-for-you ingredients that give your skin the break it deserves. About My Eyes: Sensitive and dry The only slight issue we had was the serum’s container: the bottle’s pump was difficult to activate. However, if you can forgive the design, it’s a winner.
