I have mixed and matched products in the past, but I am a 100% Drunk Elephant convert. Here's why- when you use ONLY DE... it actually works. It's as simple as that. If you're going to spend an arm and a leg, (which... let's face it, is what their products cost) why throw all of that money away by adding potentially harmful ingredients found in non-DE products? It defeats the purpose. We're paying DE handsomely for doing the research, leaving out the crap, and formulating the best "smoothie" of goodness for our skin. And when I haven't tried to pretend I know more than a lab full of sciency-skin-experts and just do what they say, my skin looks A-MAZING. No, I don't look like I've had a face lift, and I don't magically have chin implants or higher cheekbones... or any of the other facial features I longed for when I was younger, but this stuff works. The whole line works harmoniously together to make my skin look healthy, flushed, dewey and clear. Age spots and lines (which I thankfully don't have many of yet- I'm 30) are softened or disappearing after two months of solid DE use. My eye area, after using their eye creams religiously, are plumper and more taut and young looking than it was in my early 20s... no joke. Most importantly- I am fairly in-tune with the happiness and health of my skin, and I can tell that every time I put these products on my skin, it is grateful for the gentle exfoliating and/or moisture it's receiving. No redness, irritation or breakouts here- and I can honestly say that's a first for my complexion. Buy it. Buy it all. Get rid of everything else. You won't regret it. Oh- and one bottle of most of their products lasts me 4-6 months at least- so expensive, yes. But also long-lasting.

What it is: A high-tech AHA/BHA gel that resurfaces dull, congested skin by gently lifting away dead skin cells, dramatically improving the appearance of skin tone, texture, fine lines, wrinkles and pores. What it is formulated to do: Formulated with our dream team of glycolic, tartaric, citric and salicylic acids and blended with raspberry extract and horse chestnut, T. L.C. Framboos curbs excess oiliness as it reveals greater clarity and luminosity practically overnight. It also enhances the performance of other products by clearing the way for maximum absorption. T. L.C. Framboos sinks in easily and delivers an effective level of chemical exfoliation without the harsh side effects like dryness or sensitization. Go from a drab complexion to an absolutely luminous one, practically overnight. What else you need to know: AHAs can be sensitizing if not formulated properly. We added soothing plant extracts and formulated T. L.C. Framboos at the ideal pH level of 3. 5 which we believe is the key to an effective formulation. Key Ingredients: - T. L.C. Framboos AHA blend ((G) glycolic plus (T) tartaric, (L) lactic, and (C) citric acids) exfoliates built-up dead skin cells, resurfacing dull, uneven skin for a smoother, brighter, more even-looking complexion. - Salicylic acid (BHA) loosens sebum to unclog pores while soothing skin. - Raspberry fruit extract rehydrates and soothes damaged skin, has antioxidant properties. - Cactus extract soothes redness and sensitivity, helping to calm skin while using AHA. - Horse chestnut helps improve the appearance of broken capillaries and soothes.
