Description:

A powerhouse complex, this potent, silicone-free formulation of 1% retinol boasts comforting and nourishing ingredients (passionfruit, apricot, kale, winter cherry extracts, skin-firming peptides and essential fatty acids), to give lazy skin cells a boot up their bottoms! This product means business – promoting skin renewal and boosting collagen production while reducing depth of wrinkles and improving signs of damage – and with continual use, it rejuvenates cells to reveal aber vibrant, revitalised skin. Like the rest of the Drunk Elephant range, Tiffany advises that A-Passioni Retinol Cream can be applied and mixed with any other Drunk Elephant products to make your own signature ‘smoothie’ (and buffer the strength if your face needs to build up its tolerance). Suggested cocktails are to mix ‘A-Passioni’ with {C-Firma} in the daytime (always followed up with a broad-spectrum SPF to shield from sunshine!), or to combine with {Lala Retro Whipped Cream} at night if your face is reactive or you’ve never used a retinol before. Proceed with caution if your skin is sensitive – do a patch test to assess your cells’ tolerance, then use sparingly to begin with – building up the frequency over the course of several weeks.

How to use:

Apply a pea-sized amount or less to a clean and dry face. Limit initial use to once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night and then finally up to every night (as tolerated).Proceed with caution if you’re sensitive or new to retinol – this may induce redness/irritation to begin with and you may incur some flakiness until your skin acclimatises. Avoid using the night before a big event/special occasion (unless you’re already a retinol addict)!

Avoid applying to eye area and use a broad spectrum SPF during the day.
