Drunk Elephant C Firma Day Serum Product Review

The Brand

Drunk Elephant is known for using only ingredients that either directly benefit the health of the skin without the use of the “Suspicious 6” – drying alcohols, silicones, SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate), chemical screens, and essential oils or fragrances/dyes. Their commitment to creating effective, cruelty-free and vegan products has earned them Best Of Beauty and Readers’ Choice Awards. They use high percentages in good pH levels so all active ingredients can be easily absorbed by your body’s cells.

Founded by Tiffany Masterson, Drunk Elephant has started to expand its product line into the body, hair care and makeup categories. As always, you can expect their products to keep your skin healthy with innovative vitamin-infused formulas. Their collection is powered by biocompatible actives which is a mix of synthetic and plant-derived extracts.

Key Ingredients

Drunk Elephant had to create a new Vitamin C serum, the Drunk Elephant Fresh Day Serum after their original formula was not as effective. The reason for this is because it would degrade in light, heat and air which makes sense since that’s what essentially happens when you open up your vitamin c product! So they created something similar but upgraded with newer ingredients so customers could enjoy products like before without worrying about them being less potent over time due to exposure of these elements.

Customer Feedback

The reviews on online retailer websites show that Drunk Elephant C-Firma Fresh Day Serum is rated highly among their customers:

Sephora: Reviewed 111 times and has an overall rating of 4.5.
Amazon: Reviewed 169 times and has an average rating of 4.1.

Despite the positive reviews on online retailer websites, Drunk Elephant C-Firma Fresh Day Serum has received a significant amount of negative feedback from customers who state that it leaves their skin feeling greasy and smelling foul throughout the day. Some have commented that there is little to no effect after using this serum.

Pricing

Drunk Elephant’s C-Firma Fresh Day Serum is 94 oz/28 mL and costs $78.00, which considering the cost of other brands on the market such as Skinceuticals’ C E Ferulic with 15% L-Ascorbic Acid that costs twice as much, makes it a reasonable price based on ingredients and effectiveness.

So what's our verdict?

The active ingredients in Drunk Elephant C-Firma Fresh Day Serum make it worth the price tag. When used with sunscreen, this product helps protect your skin against photoaging and free radicals while promoting a more youthful appearance down the line.

If you are new to vitamin C serums, there is a lower-priced option available such as The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% Serum. This serum does not contain L-ascorbic acid but it contains resveratrol and ferulic acid at only $8 compared to Drunk Elephant’s cost of $70+.
