Our reviews of Drunk Elephant’s C-Firma Fresh Day Serum

Truth be told, I’ve never purchased a product from Drunk Elephant. I’ve only ever used a mini freebie (thanks Sephora points) or my sister’s every now & then. Although the $78 price point is steep for some, it’s worth it because dermatologists advise using a serum twice daily.

How Drunk Elephant’s new serum compares khổng lồ others

I’ve tried many serums. In fact, they’re all in a neat row on đứng top of my bathroom counter, on a stringent rotation system, as if I’m drafting for the army. Some of my favorites include the Alypn Beauty Wild Nettle và Niacinamide Firming Serum for a tightening feel, Caudalie’s Vinopure Natural Salicylic Acid Pore Minimizing Serum for an ultra-hydrating option và three, budget-friendly bottles from The Ordinary.

Though Drunk Elephant’s C-Firma Fresh Day Serum is the most luxe serum in my collection thus far, it’s worth the hype because of its fresh, vi-ta-min C infusion that feels lượt thích a million bucks.

The Pros

For full transparency, there are certainly more pros than cons. Besides the healthful concoction of ingredients, it didn’t cause any breakouts, which typically is the case when I try new skincare products. Not khổng lồ mention, the areas of my face that tend to be the dryest — my jaw, around my nose and the center of my chin — were completely hydrated.

Drunk Elephant’s new serum made my skin so smooth, you couldn’t even tell my skin was dry in the first place.

A nice cảm ứng is its packaging, too. Though what’s on the inside matters (cheesy, I know), skincare products with pumps is a no-no for me. I want my skincare formulations khổng lồ be almost vacuum-sealed so it doesn’t contaminate as easily, & the twist-down mechanism — characteristic of most of the brand’s products — is exquisite.

The Cons

Truthfully, the only con on my menu is the learning curve. Because Drunk Elephant’s new serum requires mixing, it took a bit more patience on my over to carefully remove what the included mini pamphlet instructed, without breaking the whole thing.

After about five minutes, I was good lớn go.

That said, even though it’s not an untwist-and-apply serum, it’s worth the five-minute cài đặt because you know you’re about to lớn use a fresh, quality product.

The bottom line

Overall, Drunk Elephant’s C-Firma Fresh Day Serum is worth the buy. While the brand’s other products are popular, you can always purchase a more affordable moisturizer or retinol cream. With serums, this is the freshest you’ll find.
