Now available in a deluxe-sized 'midi' of 10ml, this super-charged, silicone-free formulation features 1% retinol (it's potent!), alongside a fruit cocktail of extracts such as passionfruit, apricot, kale and winter cherry (not to mention firming peptides and essential fatty acids)! Promoting skin renewal and boosting collagen production, this intensive treatment minimises visibility of fine lines and dark spots to reveal vibrant, healthy-looking skin. Probably the most wanted skin care range ever, Drunk Elephant is worth the hype – and then some... Founded by Tiffany Masterson who wanted to formulate products without any ‘fillers’, this all-star collection is powered by biocompatible actives – a mix of synthetic and plant-derived extracts – that skin recognises and knows what to do with. And, because of their ingredient-elimination philosophy, you won’t find any of the following ‘Suspicious 6’ – drying alcohols, silicones, SLS, chemical screens, essential oils or fragrances/dyes – so you can ‘reset’ your complexion and help both your skin and your tresses to flourish like never before.

Ideal for all those who're already acquainted with the wonders of retinol (this can trigger irritation and peeling if your skin is sensitive, or if you're new to the retinol realm), Drunk Elephant’s game-changing A-Passioni Retinol Cream Midi is the perfect addition to your evening-time routine.
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 über vibrant, revitalised skin. Like the rest of the Drunk Elephant range, Tiffany advises that A-Passioni Retinol Cream Midi 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.

For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
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.

Good product
When I got used to it (you have to get used to it, it is strong!), I really did see the difference! My skin looks amazing.

Great Product
I am new to retinol so read through the reviews to see what the best way was to start with. I mixed a pea-sized amount with my moisturiser at night 2 times a week. I already saw the results in the morning. My skin was so glowy and smooth which amazed me. I then used it by itself. Just be careful as it can make the skin feel irritated so avoid delicate areas like the eyes. But it makes my skin look amazing especially when I apply my make up. Definitely recommend.

Amazing!
This product is amazing, the first week or so I noticed slight peeling around my chin and cheek area but nothing massively concerning. I’ve used every other night since and my skin has never looked or felt so good. I suffer from acne scarring and the odd breakout and would recommend this product to everybody.

Amazing!
It is a strong retinol so probably not recommended for vit A beginners. However, if you are used to retinols, you will love it! I could see immediate results - my skin looks like it's been photoshopped and even people around me are asking me what have I done to make it look this good. :) Little goes a long way so even though it's an expensive purchase, you will end up using just a little bit. Can only recommend!

Great trial size and worthy if you're used to retinols
First of all, I'm actually a prescription tretinoin 0.05 user, which is probably over 10x stronger than even the strongest over-the-counter retinol products (such as A-Passioni). Having sensitive skin, I've been building up with my tret use up to 3x a week over many years, so I didn't expect this DE retinol to be irritating with daily use. But it was. Therefore a word of caution- proceed carefully, 1-2 x a week and using in at first on completely dry skin, especially if it's your first retinol ever. After a couple of weeks trial, I found the best way to use it is 2x in a row at night, skip one night and then again 2x nights in a row. The result is beautiful glowing skin in the morning without any flakiness so it's ideal summer-time retinol for me. Since you only need to use a pea size for the full face and neck, this trial 10 ml will last you at least couple of months, which makes it quite cost-effective for strong OTC retinol users. Plus it has lots of beneficial ingredients (peptides, ceramides etc) yet no fragrance and alcohol which are both very irritating when retinol. I don't like B-Hydra and don't use it.

Strong retinol
An effective product, however, it is very strong and needs to be careful how much you use. It's been months and I still use it twice a week and sometimes only once a week.

Good sample size
Firstly, I really enjoyed the size of this product as it seemed much more affordable to first try out than the larger size. I’ve been used it once a week for approximately 2 months. Let me just say this is very strong retinol! I may have made the mistake of never having used any retinol products before and my skin did take a few weeks to adjust. I found that it did make my skin flake but nothing that caused any extreme irritation etc and because we are in lockdown I thought this would be the perfect time to try it out without anyone seeing me! I found that if you apply it last in your routine it would help stop it spreading to delicate areas like your eyes where I found it did cause irritation and flaking on my eye lids. I have yet to see any results in lines and wrinkles but my complexion the morning after using it a lot clearer. Using this as more of a preventative and hoping to build up to 3 times a week as that’s how much you need to use retinol for it to basically work and see improvement in your skin

Suitable for extra sensitive skin
I have an extra sensitive skin. I wanted to add the retinol product to my night time routine, so I started with this combo. I couldn't have chosen better. I experienced no irritation, no redness, dryness or flakiness at all. I use a pea size amount twice a week, only in the evenings for now and follow with Lala retro cream. Definitely will buy the full size of the product.

Game changer
Amazing stuff, really helps with acne and pigmentation/scarring. Better than AHAs and vit c I’ve tried though everyone is different. Need to let your skin get used to it as advised on the package. Good advice I received for it was once a week for 1 week, twice a week for two weeks etc. Liked the serum but you need to use a lot so for the price unsure if I will reorder. The retinol certainly will though you need such a small amount I think this size will last months!

Worth it
I'm giving 4 stars because I didn't like the B-Hydra serum - it's too sticky and I feel it didn't do much to my skin. The retinol cream, however, is a great find. It's the first retinol product I've used and so far I'm seeing good results. For reference, I'm 28 and while I'm not struggling with many fine lines yet, I do have texture that I wanted to address. I've used the product 2 times - once every 4 days mixed in my face cream as I feel it would be too strong on its own. I've seen dramatic improvement in the texture around my cheekbones and my chin. It does dry out the skin but not that bad that it can't be handled with some face oil and regular moisturizing. The tube is only 10 ml but I feel that it could last me about 3 months if I continue using it once every 4 days. It's good value and lets you test the compatibility of the product with your skin. If all continues to go well, I will purchase the full size.
