![]() ![]() Tip: Use in conjunction with C-Firma for an extra boost of vitamin c and antioxidants. We've heard that very fair skin tones prefer our (non-tinted) Umbra formula.but we'll let you decide. Use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. It's time to party in the sun.ĭrunk Elephant's tinted, physical SPF 30 sunscreen delivers a powerful broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection as well as helping protect skin against free radical and oxidative damage plus, a hint of tint for a gorgeously glowing finish.Ī little goes a long way with this non-sticky formula that doesn't leave behind any unwanted texture or residue, just a gorgeous sun-kissed tint and a healthy-looking complexion.Įvery morning, apply evenly onto face, neck and chest. It’s supposed to be their version of Sunday Riley’s Good Genes.Ooh, baby. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum ($90) next. I’m into Drunk Elephant, man! And I’m going to try their T.L.C. Umbra Tinte actually absorbs quickly and, because it’s tinted, doesn’t leave behind one of those white casts. Many of them also leave behind a white cast. The thing about physical sunscreens, though, is that they’re usually thick and difficult to blend into your skin. ![]() It’s a lightweight tinted physical sunscreen (so its active ingredients reflect light rays instead of absorbing them), and it has a gorgeous, glowing finish. ![]() I know that I’ve talked about Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense ($36) at length, so I won’t rave about it again…but it rocks. Twenty-year-old Karen, though? She probably would have stockpiled them both. My skin looks and feels moisturized when I use them, for sure, but I feel like my 40-something-year-old skin needs an even more aggressive anti-aging approach. They layer well with other skin care products and work well under makeup. I’ve been using both, along with C-Firma, since April, and I like ’em. Shaba Complex Eye Serum and Lala Retro Whipped CreamĪs for the Drunk Elephant products I like but may or may not end up refilling, there’s the $60 Shaba Complex Eye Serum, which has fermented black tea, copper peptides and Co-Q10 to keep the fine lines and dark circles from going buck wild and the $60 Lala Retro Whipped Cream, which is a surprisingly moisturizing, lightweight face cream with African oils (but no silicones, which is rarer and rarer among face moisturizers these days). Other than that, though, it works, and I love it. ![]() I can’t stand to wear it when it’s hot because the formula feels extra sticky and heavy on my skin. My only issue with it is when the weather’s hot, like during last week’s heat wave. Some people feel the serum is “stinky,” like it smells like sausages or hot dogs or lunch meat (that’s what I’ve heard), but I don’t really think it smells like anything at all. I’m pretty sure that my cheek look plumper after using it?! I don’t know for sure, but that area looks more…voluminous than it did before, and my cheeks look less “sunken in.” It works, but dropping $165 on a bottle of CE Ferulic got old real quick.Ĭ-Firma costs half as much ($80), which, I mean, isn’t exactly budget…but it’s A LOT less expensive than Skinceuticals.Īnyway, I’m into it - so much so that I plan to snag a refill when I finish this bottle, whenever that happens…and I have no idea when it will happen because the bottle is opaque to prevent light from breaking down the Vitamin C.īut good luck figuring out how much is left in there, LOL! I heard it was comparable to Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, which I used for years to mellow out my pigmention probs, but I stopped using it when I got pregnant with the Coywolf.ĭude…sh*t is crazy expensive. The product that lured me into loving the line was their C-Firma Day Serum ($80), which contains 15% l-absorbic acid, ferulic acid and vitamin E. ![]()
