Brand note
Drunk Elephant is a skincare brand built around the idea of using compatible, non-irritating ingredients, but creator feedback is mixed. The Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer is a thick, oil-rich cream that works well for very dry skin, though some find it heavy and pore-clogging. Across the line, products like the D-Bronzi drops and T.L.C. Framboos serum get specific praise for their function, but the brand also draws criticism for being overpriced and underwhelming given the hype.
