Nothing compares to an in-clinic facial, but this serum nearly matches it.

      I must admit that I'm quite skeptical of bold marketing claims in skincare. I've experimented with some of the world's top serums that promise to erase fine lines, pores, and more within just weeks, but as a beauty editor, I realize that achieving long-lasting results requires time and consistency. Dealing with rough, bumpy skin texture, enlarged pores, and blackheads, I also understand that professional facials can significantly boost results. To be honest, I have yet to discover an at-home product that rivals my favorite in-clinic treatments. So, when Drunk Elephant's T.L.C. Framboos Night Serum arrived on my desk, I didn't have high expectations. However, since my usual skincare routine wasn't providing the results I wanted, I thought it might be beneficial to incorporate a potent serum, so I decided to take it home for a trial. To put it simply, I was impressed. If your skin concerns are somewhat similar to mine, I suggest you keep reading...

      **Drunk Elephant**

      *T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum*

      **Pros**

      - Lightweight gel texture

      - Contains a mix of AHAs and BHAs for skin exfoliation and added radiance

      **Cons**

      - May cause a tingling sensation upon application

      - I recommend starting gradually, using it once or twice a week

      **The Formula**

      This serum has a combination of AHAs and BHAs, which are chemical exfoliants that work in tandem to eliminate dead skin cells, clear congestion, and reveal your brightest complexion yet. It contains glycolic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, and so on. Initially, I worried it might be too harsh for my sensitive skin, but the inclusion of soothing plant extracts seems to reduce any irritation. Targeting concerns like texture, breakouts, and oiliness, it's clear my skin benefits from this product. The major advantage for me is that it merges AHAs and BHAs into one formula, allowing me to simplify my routine while still gaining all the active ingredients I need.

      **The Application**

      Even though the serum isn’t overly irritating, I don't use it every night. I started slowly by applying it once a week to monitor my skin's reaction. Now, I apply it two to three times weekly, and on the days I don’t use it, I prioritize protecting my skin barrier with hydrating and soothing products. Upon initial application, there can be a slight tingle, but this quickly fades. It may sound unusual, but I actually enjoy it, as it reminds me of my professional treatments. The serum has a pleasant, lightweight, refreshing gel texture that absorbs into the skin immediately.

      **The Results**

      I'm not claiming this skincare product has transformed my life, but my complexion has certainly improved significantly. The glow was nearly immediate, and after consistent use for over a month, I've noticed an enhancement in my skin's texture. In fact, if I stop using it, I can see an immediate difference. Regarding enlarged pores and blackheads, I believe it will require a bit more time (and perhaps more frequent application) to observe a substantial change, yet I'm already seeing progress. My complexion appears healthier, my foundation applies more smoothly, and my entire skincare routine seems to be functioning much better. I now consider it the missing piece of my routine. This product represents an investment, but I believe the concentration of active ingredients makes it worthwhile. Additionally, it negates the need to purchase multiple serums, as it addresses various concerns in one product. Well done, Drunk Elephant!
