I also love to mix this with my body lotion for more intense moisture. I know that this little bottle will last me a loooong time, as a few drops will go a very long way. While I don’t know how this compares to other marula oils, I think everyone can decide for yourself whether the higher price point is worth it for you. I bring the little bottle with me on my travels, and it’s wonderful for relieving airplane-wrecked skin. It’s great for mixing with Lala Retro, or used on top of everything as a last step.

I find the texture to be lightweight yet still very nourishing on the skin. That being said, I really like the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil. I find it to be a waste of money if it isn’t working on your skin, regardless of the price point.

I have my own thoughts about The Ordinary – while I haven’t tried their marula oil, I haven’t had any luck with any of the products I bought from them. Technically you can purchase marula oil from brands such as The Ordinary for a fraction of the price. The debate isn’t about whether marula oil is good for you, rather, about the price that Drunk Elephant sells theirs at. It contains 100% unrefined marula kernel oil, which is great to help nourish and rejuvenate the skin. Virgin Marula Facial Oil (C$90 for 30mL) is somewhat of a hot debate item. I definitely recommend that you pick this up if you are looking for a good moisturizer.

It sinks in perfectly, leaving my skin refreshed and plumped, with zero residue or heaviness. I have dry skin and this moisturizer is great for day and night. The texture is incredibly smooth and refined, and feels pretty much like it’s described – a whipped cream. This is the more “basic” moisturizer that offers skin hydration and plumping benefits. Lala Retro Whipped Cream (C$75 for 50mL) is one of the two moisturizers that Drunk Elephant offers. It was hydrating for sure, but I didn’t feel like my eye area was brighter, smoother, or firmer. I felt like it didn’t quite do anything to help my eye area. This was another Drunk Elephant product that I was meh about. It contains copper peptides, edelweiss stem cell culture, black tea ferment, and sea buckthorn oil, a cocktail that is meant to prevent signs of aging, improve skin texture and radiance, and also hydrate. Shaba Complex Eye Serum (C$72 for 15mL) is a milky eye serum that you can use alone or underneath the C-Tango Eye Cream. I also find that it doesn’t work well with my FOREO Luna, again because it doesn’t foam up fully. I will still use this as my morning cleanse, but I wouldn’t be able to replace my everyday cleanser with this. It is very mild, which is great for a morning cleanse or for those with sensitive skin. This cleanser is kind of in the middle – a watery gel that creates a flat foam that feels really watered down. As a personal preference, I like something that is either cream, or super foamy. While this cleanser is super gentle but still effective, I don’t love it.

9 Jelly Cleanser (C$42 for 150mL) was something I was curious about because I really love the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser. Hopefully this will be helpful for those who are considering venturing into this brand.īeste No. I used these products pretty much exclusively for a minimum of 2 weeks before I wrote up this review. For this post, I’m going to focus on the products that don’t contain the key active ingredients, i.e. Today I am so happy to share with you the first of my two part reviews on the Drunk Elephant products I’ve had the pleasure to test out.
