Introduction

Night serums are designed to be applied before a moisturizer and they contain smaller molecules which penetrate deeply into the skin. This also then allows the moisturizer to be better absorbed. Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum claims to do just that by providing an AHA/BHA blend which helps lift dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, improving the skin's texture and making it easier for other products to be absorbed by the skin. This review examines if this is the night serum to feature on your must-have list.

Ingredients

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum contains one patented ingredient which is the T.L.C. Framboos™ AHA blend consisting of glycolic, tartaric, lactic, and citric acids. These acids help remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, making way for new skin cells to regenerate, providing a smoother, more even-looking complexion. The other main ingredients found in this product include:

  • Salicylic Acid
  • Raspberry Fruit Extract
  • Cactus Extract
  • Horse Chestnut
  • Galactoarabinan
  • Phytostem Buddleja Davidii Meristem Cell Culture
  • Virgin Marula Oil
  • White Tea Leaf Extract
  • Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
  • Yeast Extract
This product contains a combination of exfoliating, antioxidant and soothing ingredients, though the main focus seems to be on its exfoliating ingredients. This helps prep the skin for other skin care products, however, it may not be well-tolerated by all skin types and may be quite harsh for sensitive skin. Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum does not contain any parabens, fragrances, phthalates, and it is cruelty-free.

How To Use

Apply each evening, after cleansing, to dry skin. Can be applied to your face, neck, chest and backs of hands. It is noted that you may experience tingling when you first start using the product so you should start slowly by only applying every second night. Make sure to avoid the eye area.

Price

There are two different size bottles which Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum comes in - a 1 oz bottle or a 1.69 oz bottle. The 1 oz bottle is sold directly from the manufacturer for $90 while the 1.69 oz bottle is sold for $134. There are no discounts offered. As one of the main focuses of this product is to help with the absorption of other products, some of Drunk Elephant's other products are recommended to use with this one. With no package deals offered, it will work out even more expensive.

Guarantee

Drunk Elephant provides a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return the unused portion for a refund. Before you return the product, you need to email customer service for a return authorization number and mailing details. While it is good to see the option to return opened bottles for a refund, 30 days is not much time to really see if the product is working for you.

Conclusion

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum seems to be a good product as a basis for other products. We like their approach of using exfoliating ingredients as a way to achieving anti-aging benefits. However, these ingredients may be too harsh for some consumers. The fact that you may experience tingling when you first start using this serum and should start slowly by not using it each day is a little concerning. Most consumers want to be able to use their product each day and not have a complicated skin care routine of alternating products. Products that you can use each day which also provide nourishing, hydrating, and rejuvenating ingredients are the ideal. We prefer the use of serums that contain patented ingredients which are known to repair damaged skin cells and provide a smoother complexion without the use of chemical exfoliators.
