When I reach for the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream I take a look in a mirror and of course I use the retinol in strategic areas. For me I like to use it on my forehead to smooth the fine lines, on some dark spots and acne scars on my face as well as the pesky laugh lines. Now the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream is to be used one or two times a week AM or PM gradually increasing your frequency to every other night and then every night as your skin tolerates it. I personally use this twice a week for 2 weeks and then I use it about 4 days a week there after. The recommendation from Drunk Elephant is to use a pea-size amount or less to clean dry skin which is what I did. You can also mix it with your favorite Drunk Elephant Cream or Oil I used it the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum included in the box of A-Passioni Retinol Cream and some of their Protini Polypeptide Cream. After the first application I was thrilled not to have any irritoation or redness at all (that was a first for me with Retinol) Then I used it a second time that week and had no issues. After my third application I woke up in the morning and just noticed my skin was a little dry after the 4th application dry and flakey so I used a thicker moisturizer and did not have an issue. I did continue to increase the use of the A-Passioni Retinal Cream to about 4 days a week and I had great results. My forehead fine lines had truly diminished and my acne scars were faded which meant I didn't have to use as much concealer. I can finally say that I LOVE a retinol cream and its all thanks to Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream! This is apart of my Spring Skincare Reboot! This is a beauty bag must that gets 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!
