What it is: A cool drink of water for thirsty skin, this hydrating serum visibly replenishes the complexion and improves the look of skin texture and tone.
Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily
Skincare Concerns: Fine Lines and Wrinkles, Dryness, and Dullness and Uneven Texture
Formulation: Lightweight Serum
Highlighted Ingredients:
- Pineapple Ceramide: Boosts luminosity and improves the appearance of skin‘s texture and tone.
- Provitamin B5: As a humectant, it attracts hydration to the skin and holds it there, visibly improving skin‘s barrier function.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: With a smaller molecular weight than hyaluronic acid, it is able to penetrate skin and deliver intense hydration to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promote visible firmness.
Ingredient Callouts: This product is vegan and cruelty-free.
What Else You Need to Know: Formulated with biocompatible ingredients like provitamin B5, pineapple ceramide, and a lentil/apple/watermelon complex, this lightweight serum—which has a pH level of 5.7—delivers steady hydration all day as it visibly diminishes drabness, dryness, and fine lines. Your skin will appear healthier, brighter, and more youthful.
This serum is free of essential oils, silicones, and fragrance.
Drunk Elephant is committed to using only ingredients that either directly benefit the health of the skin or support the integrity of their formulations. The brand focuses on healthy pH levels, formulations the skin recognizes, small molecular structure that’s easily absorbed, and effective active ingredients that also support the skin’s acid mantle. All of their products are designed to be mixed together—what Drunk Elephant calls making a smoothie. (This is true for all of their products except their sunscreen, Umbra, which sits on top of the skin, protecting it from UV damage.) The result is skin that is reset to its happiest, healthiest state.
Drunk Elephant is a supporter of IEF (International Elephant Foundation) and is cruelty-free.
