Will the Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum and B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum send me to a euphoric high?

Now, here’s a brand that’s quite a hot name in the skincare business now – Drunk Elephant. The curiously named brand that conjures up amusing images of inebriated pachyderms has fascinated me for a long time.

But I’ve always balked, because the prices are eye-watering.

So, when I spotted the Drunk Elephant Rise + Glow set, featuring minis of 2 products I’d most wanted to try from the brand, I pounced!

Although containing just 8ml of product each, it’s lasted me for 2 weeks and still counting. About enough time for me to figure out what I think of both these cult products, and whether I’ll splurge on the full sizes.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Paula’s Choice 1% Clinical Retinol Treatment but it was a pleasant surprise!

I get a lot of questions about retinol, which often throws me for a loop. Unlike many bloggers or skincare enthusiasts who have jumped on the trend, and who are raving about it, I have struggled with retinol – something I will share another day.

But in recent times, there’s been so much talk about retinol and Vitamin A going around, I had to dip my toes into the pool.

One of the brands that come very highly rated in this segment of skincare, is Paula’s Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment. I acquired a bottle one day, and decided to devote some time to figuring it out.

A month into using the product, I’d have given a sigh, a resigned laugh and shrugged it off as yet another product to shelf. Almost 3 months later, I think I understand why it’s so popular.

Boost Hydration: 5 Hydrating Lotions and Serums I love that work (and are mostly affordable!)

While I’m at that age when products labeled as ‘anti-aging’ grabs my attention, my primary concern isn’t so much ‘aging’ as it is hydration.

It is my personal experience and belief (non-professional) that keeping skin well hydrated helps it look better, and even to function better and heal more quickly from blemishes.

However, I don’t seek out very heavy formula. Instead, I opt to layer my skincare, sandwiching thin layers of potent hydration, to build that buffer.

5 hydrating serums and lotions that work

In my time therefore, as many of you have oft-reminded me in person and online, I have tried numerous products. Yes, if you’ve read a review here on my blog, it’s gone on my face LOL! 😀

And there are products that I return to over and over, or will recommend, because they are just that good at their job.

Today, we talk about Hydration, and I’ll share 5 hydrating lotions and serums that work. And not only work, they work incredibly well! 😀

It’s no secret by now that I’m a huge huge fan of using Vitamin C serums. While I struggle with other active ingredients, Vitamin C has delivered quick and visible results that have impressed me.

Naturally therefore, any new Vitamin C serum in the market grabs my interest, and the Omorovicza Daily Vitamin C serum is no exception!

I was very fortunate to be introduced the new Omorovicza Daily Vitamin C serum at a media launch, and thereafter, to spend some time using it, before I could form an opinion.

It’s been almost 2 months that I’ve been using this Vitamin C serum exclusively (I never use Vitamin C serums alongside each other – only after I finish the previous one) so I think I’m able to now form an opinion. But more interestingly, will it be worth the money? It is very pricey!
