Be aware of the refill - do not buy

Product is great but refill pack is horrible. I inserted it based on instructions, but the cream stopped coming out of the jar after may be 10 days using it. Absolutely unusable at this point, I had to take the lid out and still can't use the cream because the refill thing is stuck in the jar. Ugh f...

Moisturizing without being greasy

Submitted 3 days ago

By Annalisa

From Houston, TX

I received this item as my free diamond gift, and I am really pleased that this is what I chose. It has a very light texture and moisturizes without a "greasy" feeling or oily look. However, it manages to create lasting hydration. I have sensitive skin and it did not irritate me or break me out at all. I love the packaging, as it is spill-proof and hygienic. I would buy this when my free one runs out

Burns so badly

Submitted 4 days ago

By Terri

From Austin, TX

wanted to love this so much, but it burns my skin for a minute or two after I apply it. My skin barrier is NOT compromised-so it's not that. Quite unfortunate as this was my Diamond free perk item.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Amazing moisturizer! Like wooow

Submitted 19 days ago

By Mawa

From CT

I've been looking for a good quality moisturizer for a year, I had bought several products, just to be disappointed. I think I finally found it! The smell is very subtle, it absorbs quickly and efficiently. I'm in love so far and it has only been 2 days.

Q
Is this greasy in texture? I have combo skin and most creams leave my face feeling like a grease ball in a few hours. Also is there a strong scent to this?
Asked by Beachmom19
Official Answer By Drunk Elephant - Brand Engage
Hi, thank you for your question! Lala Retro Whipped Cream is our calming moisturizing cream of five African whipped oils. Its light, yet rich, whipped texture is easily absorbable-never heavy or suffocating- and delivers deep moisture to help smooth lines and wrinkles and so much more. It pampers and deeply nourishes the skin for improved firmness, elasticity, and suppleness. Lala protects skin from environmental stressors. We like to refer to it as our all-purpose rescue/rehab cream! 100% free of essential oils, silicones, fragrance/dyes, and solvent alcohols. -Destiny, Drunk Elephant Skin ExpertWas this answer helpful to you

Q
Did drunk elephant change the formula in the last year? It used to smell slightly sweet from the oils and now smells like any other ceramide cream (for example, cerave). It also seems more drying than previously.
Asked by Skimpflation
