Drunk Elephant

A-Gloei™ Maretinol Oil

The MECCA view

A gentle dose of retinol clarifies, refines, and smooths uneven, blemished, textured, or aging skin. It also evens out tone, reducing discoloration and boosting skin’s natural glow, while ceramides replenish the skin barrier and improve elasticity. Antioxidant and omegarich virgin marula oil (which makes up 95% of the formula!) replenishes essential moisture and reduces the appearance of redness, bringing skin back to its healthiest, most youthful state.

This brand is PETA-certified cruelty free & Leaping Bunny-certified cruelty free. This product is vegan, containing no animal products or derivatives of animal products.

Key ingredients

0.5% Retinol: Retinol is one of the most wellresearched ingredients in skincare, capable of bringing balance to any skin concern. At a gentle 0.5% concentration, our pure form of vegan retinol can help improve the look and feel of uneven skin tone and texture, as well as ward off the damage done from daily exposure to UV rays, pollution, or other free radicals.

Virgin Marula Oil: This superabsorbable oil, high in critical antioxidants and omegas 6 and 9, helps moisturize, nourish, and rejuvenate skin for a youthful glow.

Ceramides: These plantderived ceramides are identical to the waxlike moisturizing ceramides that occur naturally in skin. Ceramides help fill in the spaces between skin cells, giving them elasticity, and play a critical role in strengthening the skin barrier by helping to maintain the moisture balance of skin while protecting against water loss.

Made without

Essential oils, silicones, and fragrance.

Pro-tip

1. Mix with C-Tango or Ceramighty for a gentle retinol undereye treatment.

2. Mix with F-Balm for a more intensive smoothing overnight renewal mask.

3. It’s a myth that retinols can’t be used with AHAs— you just need the right kinds. Try mixing A-Gloei and T.L.C. Framboos for better results on fine lines and signs of sun damage.

Direct from the brand

I wanted to make A-Gloei for people who aren’t familiar with the amazing benefits of retinol. Retinol is highly effective at increasing cell turnover and targeting the signs of aging while reducing inflammation and acne. And since virgin marula oil is so good at moisturizing and soothing the skin, it’s the perfect delivery vehicle. I wanted to sneak retinol in the line at a lower level to make it ideal for anyone who is just getting used to retinol and wants to build a tolerance. Try it a few times and you’ll see how effective but gentle it is. I know I will make a retinol believer out of you, too. - Tiffany, Founder.
