Highlighted Ingredients:
- Retinol 1%: A pure form of vegan retinol, this is one of the most well-researched ingredients
in skincare capable of bringing balance to any skin concern. At a one percent concentration, retinol can dramatically improve the look and feel of uneven skin tone and texture and ward off the damage done from daily exposure to UV rays, pollution, and other free radicals.
- Triple Peptide Blend: A potent trio of peptides that visibly firms and strengthens, boosting the age-fighting benefits of retinol.
- Vitamin F: Soothing fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic) that work to visibly improve skin‘s texture and suppleness and calm signs of sensitivity.

Ingredient Callouts: This product is vegan and cruelty-free.

What Else You Need to Know: Retinol and supportive peptides restore a look of bounce, resilience, and clarity to skin while visibly evening tone and texture without redness and irritation. Vitamin F and a curated blend of oils replenish lipids and moisture while antioxidant-packed ingredients defend against environmental stressors.

This cream 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.
