Looking for clean, effective skincare that actually works? These are the top 15 best-selling and most talked-about Drunk Elephant products of 2025 — from the TikTok-famous Babyfacial to the glow-boosting C-Firma serum. Whether you have dry skin, dullness, or just want that effortless glow, this list covers all the must-haves for your clean beauty routine. Save this for your next Sephora haul or skincare wishlist!

Protini™ Polypeptide Cream

“Like a protein smoothie for your face” — and yes, it’s as good as it sounds.

If your skin is feeling dull, saggy, or just a bit meh, Drunk Elephant’s Protini™ Polypeptide Cream is your new daily essential. This lightweight yet deeply nourishing moisturizer is packed with signal peptides, growth factors, and amino acids that work together to improve skin tone, texture, and firmness over time.

How to Use It

Apply morning and night to clean, dry skin. For a personalized skincare cocktail, mix it with your favorite Drunk Elephant serums (like C-Firma™ or B-Hydra™) or a few drops of D-Bronzi™ for a sun-kissed glow.

Why It Works
9 Signal Peptides visibly improve firmness, tone, and texture by supporting natural collagen production.
Amino Acids deeply hydrate and help strengthen the skin barrier for long-lasting moisture.
Pygmy Waterlily Extract soothes and replenishes stressed or dull skin with antioxidant-rich hydration.
Fermented Ingredients like folic acid from soybean enhance skin renewal and resilience.
Clean, Fragrance-Free Formula is lightweight, non-comedogenic, and safe for all skin types — even sensitive.

C-Firma™ Fresh Day Serum

“Your daily glow shot — freshly activated for max potency.”

This potent antioxidant serum is packed with a skin-reviving blend of 15% L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), ferulic acid, and vitamin E to neutralize free radicals, improve skin texture, and visibly reduce signs of sun damage and aging. With regular use, it boosts glow, fades dark spots, and gives you that lit-from-within radiance.

How to Use It

Once mixed, apply 1–2 pumps in the morning to clean, dry skin. Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. You can also mix it into your Protini™ or B-Hydra™ for a custom cocktail. Refrigeration optional but helps prolong freshness!

Why It Works
15% L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – Brightens dull skin, evens tone, and helps fade hyperpigmentation.
Ferulic Acid & Vitamin E – Stabilize vitamin C and boost antioxidant defense against pollution and UV damage.
Pumpkin Ferment & Pomegranate Extract – Gently exfoliate dead skin cells to refine texture and enhance absorption.
Chronocyclin – A skin-supporting peptide that mimics the antioxidant benefits of vitamin D.
Freshly Mixed by You – Ensures the most potent, active form of vitamin C — no oxidation, just results.

If you’ve ever dreamed of professional facial results without leaving your bathroom, T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial™ is your glow-to hero. This award-winning weekly treatment features a powerful blend of 25% AHA and 2% BHA, making it one of the most effective over-the-counter exfoliating masks available.

How to Use It

Use once a week on clean, dry skin. Apply a thin, even layer and leave on for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Follow immediately with a gentle, nourishing oil like Virgin Marula Oil to soothe and lock in hydration.

Why It Works

Packed with pro-vitamin B5, pineapple ceramide, and a powerful blend of humectants, this gel-serum attracts and holds water at every level of your skin.

How to Use It

Apply 1–2 pumps to clean, dry skin — morning and night. Use it alone or mix it with other Drunk Elephant products like Protini™, C-Firma™, or D-Bronzi™ for a customized hydration cocktail.

How to Use It

Use morning and night. Apply a small amount to wet hands, massage onto damp skin, and rinse thoroughly. Follow with your favorite Drunk Elephant serums and moisturizers like B-Hydra™, Protini™, or Lala Retro™.

And the best part? It’s buffered with nourishing ingredients like peptides, fatty acids, and vitamin F to support your skin barrier — making it effective without being harsh.

How to Use It

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin in the evening. Start slowly — 1-2x per week, then increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always follow with a moisturizer like Lala Retro™ or a few drops of Marula Oil for comfort. Use SPF every morning, no exceptions.

These customizable bronzing drops give you an instant radiant tint, while delivering a potent blend of antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and peptides that defend your skin from pollution and environmental stressors.

How to Use It

Formulated with a blend of plant butters, nourishing oils, ceramides, and barrier-repairing actives, this ultra-creamy butter cocoons your skin in lasting hydration and comfort.

With a blend of non-fragrant plant oils, amino acids, and marula oil, it gently removes dirt, sweat, and daily grime — while leaving your skin soft, soothed, and hydrated.

Say goodbye to tired eyes and hello to radiance. C-Tango™ Multivitamin Eye Cream is one of Drunk Elephant’s best-selling treatments, designed to brighten, firm, and restore the delicate skin around your eyes. This luxuriously rich yet fast-absorbing cream combines five forms of vitamin C, eight peptides, and cucumber extract to visibly reduce dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines over time.

How to Use It

After cleansing, use your ring finger to gently tap a small amount around the entire orbital area — under eyes, outer corners, and along the brow bone. Use it AM and/or PM. For extra hydration, layer with Ceramighty™ AF Eye Balm at night.

Why It Works
5 Forms of Vitamin C – A potent blend that brightens dull under-eyes, fades dark spots, and supports collagen production for firmer skin.

This leave-on overnight mask is packed with electrolytes, ceramides, niacinamide, and vitamin F fatty acids to restore and lock in moisture, repair the skin barrier, and leave your face feeling plump, dewy, and calm by morning.

How to Use It

Apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin at night as the final step in your routine. No need to rinse — just let it work while you sleep. Use 2–3 times a week or nightly for deep hydration. It can also be layered over serums like B-Hydra™ or mixed with Marula Oil for added richness.

DIY Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Fun Cooking Kits Every Foodie Mom Will Love

Easy French Fruit Tart (Beginner-Friendly)

Servings: 6-8
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: ~1 hour

Ingredients:

For the Crust (Shortcut):

1 store-bought tart shell or pie crust (9-inch)

For the Filling:

1 cup (240ml) milk
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp butter

For the Topping:

2 cups fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, etc.)
2 tbsp apricot jam (or honey)
1 tbsp water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

If using a store-bought tart shell, bake according to package instructions and let it cool. If using a pie crust, press it into a tart pan and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden (about 15 minutes). Cool completely.

2. Make the Easy Pastry Cream:

In a small pot, heat milk until just starting to simmer.
In a bowl, whisk sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch until smooth.
Slowly add the hot milk to the bowl while whisking.
Pour everything back into the pot and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla.
Let cool slightly, then spread into the tart shell. Chill for 30 minutes.

3. Add the Fruit Topping:

Arrange your fresh fruits in a pretty pattern on top of the chilled cream.

4. Glaze for Shine:

Warm the apricot jam and water in the microwave for 20 seconds. Brush over the fruit to give it a beautiful shine.

Swedish Rosettes (Wafflette Style)

Servings: About 20-25 rosettes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: ~40 minutes

Ingredients:

2 large eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup (240ml) milk
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

1. Make the Batter:

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light.
Add in the milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until smooth. The batter should be thin, like pancake batter.
Let the batter rest while you heat the oil.

2. Heat the Oil:

Pour oil into your frying pan (about 2-3 inches deep).
Heat to 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, drop in a tiny bit of batter — it should sizzle and float up.

3. Fry the Rosettes:

Attach your rosette iron to the handle and place it in the hot oil for about 1-2 minutes to heat up.
Lift the hot iron, quickly dip it into the batter (do not submerge the top edge or the rosette won’t release!), then place it back into the oil.
Fry until golden and crisp, about 30-60 seconds.
Use tongs to gently shake the rosette off the iron. If it sticks, help it along with a fork.
Fry until both sides are golden, then transfer to paper towels to drain.

4. Dust and Serve:

Once cool, dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

Keep the iron hot — dip it in oil between each rosette.
If your rosette won’t release, make sure you’re not dipping the iron too deep into the batter.
You can sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or drizzle with chocolate for a twist!

Chinese Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao)

Servings: 25-30 dumplings
Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 8-10 minutes
Total Time: ~1 hour 30 minutes
(Best for a fun weekend cooking project!)

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

2 1/2 cups (320g) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (180ml) hot water

For the Soup Gel (Aspic):

2 cups (480ml) chicken stock (rich and gelatinous)
1 packet (1 tbsp) unflavored gelatin
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil

For the Filling:

1 lb (450g) ground pork (with some fat, about 20%)
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp ginger, minced
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Make the Soup Gel (Aspic):

Heat the chicken stock until warm (but not boiling).
Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Stir until dissolved.
Pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate until set (about 1 hour).
Once set, cut into small cubes — these will melt into soup inside the dumplings!

2. Make the Dough:

Place flour in a large bowl. Slowly pour in the hot water while stirring.
Knead until a smooth dough forms (about 8 minutes). Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

3. Prepare the Filling:

In a bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sugar, wine, sesame oil, ginger, green onion, white pepper, and salt.
Mix well until sticky and combined.
Gently fold in the soup gel cubes. Chill the filling until ready to use.

4. Shape the Dumplings:

Divide the dough into small pieces (about 1-inch balls).
Roll each piece into a thin circle (about 3 inches wide).
Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center.
Pleat and pinch the edges together at the top to seal — aim for 12-14 folds for the classic look.

5. Steam the Dumplings:

Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper (poke holes for steam).
Place dumplings inside, leaving space between them.
Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.

How to Eat:

Gently lift the dumpling with chopsticks onto a spoon.
Bite a small hole, sip the hot soup inside, then enjoy the rest with a dip in black vinegar and ginger!

Tips:

Make sure your soup gel is solid before mixing — it’s the secret to getting the soup inside.
Don’t overfill the wrappers or they might burst while steaming.
You can freeze uncooked dumplings for later — steam directly from frozen!

Important Tips

Do not leave on facial skin for extended periods.
Avoid using with other acid-based skincare products during the same period to prevent irritation.

How to Use

For Oily Skin
Use as a light base layer, especially in warmer months. Apply after cleansing, followed by sunscreen. Helps control excess oil and keeps skin looking clear, fresh, and radiant throughout the day.
.For Dry or Sensitive Skin
This gentle formula is milder than most acids, making it ideal for delicate skin. Use as the first step after cleansing. It pairs well with serums and moisturizers, helping to refine texture, clear pores, and boost overall radiance with consistent use. Safe and soothing for sensitive skin.

Product Features
Formulated with 30% Saccharomyces Ferment, this gentle, milky exfoliating toner helps smooth skin texture, brighten the complexion, and support a healthy skin barrier. Ideal for both oily and dry skin types — including sensitive skin.

Important Tips

This product is gentle enough for daily use.
No harsh acids included, making it an excellent choice for first-time exfoliant users.

How to Use

To Clear Blackheads
More effective than pore strips or clay masks. After cleansing, apply a thin layer to blackhead-prone areas. Leave on for 3–10 minutes, then rinse.
It dissolves sebum deep inside pores, loosens hardened buildup, and makes blackheads easy to remove.
For Smoother Body Skin
Apply a small amount to rough areas like elbows, knees, or the back of arms. Leave on for 20–30 minutes, then rinse and follow with a thick body moisturizer.
With consistent use, skin becomes noticeably softer and smoother.

Product Features

Precautions

Do not leave on the face for too long
Avoid the eye area
Always wear sunscreen for at least a week after use

How to Use

For Acne-Prone Skin
Apply a small amount to areas with breakouts. Especially suitable for persistent, sensitive acne. Mild tingling may occur during initial use — this is normal.
As a Pore-Blurring Primer
Apply a thin layer to areas with enlarged pores before makeup. Absorbs quickly, creating a smooth, matte base while helping refine skin texture.

Product Features
This lightweight cream-gel formula combines 10% azelaic acid to visibly brighten skin tone, refine uneven texture, and target blemishes. It delivers a soft-focus, pore-blurring effect while remaining gentle enough for sensitive, acne-prone skin. Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, it helps promote a smoother, clearer complexion with continued use.

Precautions

Do not apply a thick layer; use a small amount and build up if needed.
Gently press onto the skin — avoid rubbing to prevent pilling.

How to Use

For Oily Skin
Use morning and night after cleansing. Apply a few drops directly to areas prone to oiliness or breakouts, then follow with moisturizer. Helps control excess oil and minimize shine throughout the day.
For Dry or Sensitive Skin
Use once daily, preferably at night. Apply a thin layer after cleansing and before heavier creams. Start slowly to build tolerance, and always follow with a hydrating moisturizer to maintain skin comfort.

It helps regulate sebum production, refine pores, and strengthen the skin barrier without being overly drying.

Avoid using on broken or compromised skin.

How to Use

Smoothing Rough Texture
Apply after cleansing to areas with uneven texture or clogged pores. Its mild exfoliating action helps soften and smooth the skin, even for those with sensitive skin.
Brightening Dull Skin
Use it as a base layer after cleansing, followed by your favorite brightening serums. This combination helps enhance overall skin radiance and clarity, improving skin tone and transparency over time.

Product Features
The Ordinary Lactic Acid Serum offers a gentle yet effective exfoliation, accelerating the skin’s natural turnover to smooth rough texture and refine pores. Despite its mildness, it powerfully targets clogged pores and uneven texture without causing irritation. Ideal for those with sensitive skin, this serum also helps to brighten dull complexions, leaving the skin clearer, more radiant, and visibly smoother with consistent use.

Precautions

The serum is available in 5% and 10% concentrations. Beginners should start with 5%, then gradually transition to 10% as skin builds tolerance.
Avoid contact with the eyes.
Always use sunscreen during the day when using exfoliating products.

How to Use

To smooth rough texture around the nose
Apply a small amount precisely to the nose bridge every evening. The formula stays in place and will not irritate the eyes. Regular use leaves the skin noticeably smoother.
To prevent blackheads
If you have oily or blackhead-prone skin, apply 2–3 drops to the T-zone nightly. This helps balance oil production, slows blackhead formation, and visibly refines pores over time.

Product Features
This Mandelic Acid 10% + HA serum by The Ordinary offers a thicker, water-like texture that ensures precise application without spreading uncontrollably on the skin. It gently exfoliates, smooths rough texture around the nose bridge, helps regulate oil production, reduces blackhead formation, and refines the appearance of enlarged pores. Suitable for daily use, it promotes clearer, smoother, and healthier-looking skin over time.

Precautions

If you are already using a blackhead-removing product in the evening, avoid combining it with this mandelic acid serum to prevent over-exfoliation.

How to Use

For Blemishes
Apply a small amount directly onto affected areas before bedtime to accelerate healing and prevent recurrence.
For Oily Skin
Especially during the summer, apply a dropper-full amount onto freshly cleansed, half-dried skin. Gently massage until absorbed to control oil production, smooth out bumps, and reduce redness on the scalp and skin.

Product Features
The Ordinary 2% Salicylic Acid Solution is specifically formulated to target blemish-prone skin. It helps to gently exfoliate the skin surface, unclog pores, and accelerate the healing of existing breakouts while preventing new blemishes from forming. Ideal for both localized spot treatments and broader application, this lightweight solution helps balance oil production, smooth skin texture, and reduce the appearance of redness and congestion.

Precautions

There are two versions of the Salicylic Acid Solution: the black bottle and the white bottle.
Beginners should start with the black bottle version for a milder introduction.
The white bottle formula is more intense and is recommended for targeted, occasional use only.

How to Use

For Dry Skin
Apply a generous amount to damp skin after cleansing, both morning and evening. Follow with a rich moisturizer to lock in hydration. Consistent use helps strengthen the skin barrier and keeps dryness and flakiness at bay.
For Oily Skin
Apply a few drops to damp skin after cleansing, focusing on areas prone to dehydration. Follow with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Helps balance oil production while providing essential hydration without clogging pores.

Product Features
This lightweight hydration serum combines multi-molecular hyaluronic acid with pro-vitamin B5 to deeply replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier. It visibly plumps, smooths fine lines, and leaves the skin feeling soft, supple, and refreshed. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, it delivers lasting hydration without any heavy or greasy residue.

Precautions

Always apply to slightly damp skin for best results; using on dry skin may cause tightness.
Avoid using together with very low pH products or pure vitamin C serums in the same routine.
Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Mohala Eyewear: Where Style Meets Purpose and the Perfect Fit

Finding sunglasses that flatter your face and actually fit well can feel like an endless search—until you discover Mohala Eyewear. Born in Hawai‘i and designed with inclusivity in mind, Mohala is more than just a fashion brand; it’s a movement that champions women through perfectly tailored eyewear and life-changing educational impact.

‍ Sunglasses That Actually Fit You

Unlike most eyewear brands that follow a one-size-fits-some approach, Mohala crafts sunglasses with three custom nose bridge options—low, medium, and tall—to fit diverse face shapes, especially for women who have struggled with glasses that slip, pinch, or sit awkwardly.

Their frames also come in multiple widths and feature adjustable temple tips for a personalized feel, ensuring all-day comfort without sacrificing style.

Must-Try Styles (And Why They’re Special)

Keana in Honey Tortoise

If you love a bold, timeless frame, Keana is your go-to. The oversized square silhouette flatters a wide variety of face shapes while offering full sun protection with polarized Zeiss lenses. The honey tortoise color adds a rich, natural tone that complements both warm and cool complexions.

Why we love it: Keana’s wide fit and soft angles make it ideal for round and heart-shaped faces—and the low nose bridge option means no more sliding down!

Punahele in Coconut Milk

Looking for something soft, feminine, and effortlessly chic? Punahele’s round lenses and lightly cat-eyed frame strike the perfect balance. The Coconut Milk shade is subtle and neutral, making it perfect for everyday wear.

Why it stands out: Designed with a narrower width and tall nose bridge option, this frame is ideal for women with petite faces or high bridges who often find standard sunglasses too large.

Mahealani in Rose Water

Mahealani is your “vacation in a frame” pick. With a gentle winged shape and romantic rose hue, it adds a dreamy touch to any outfit—from breezy sundresses to modern streetwear.

The highlight: This frame offers a medium fit with soft curves, making it universally flattering. The color is especially flattering on deeper skin tones or anyone who loves a soft pop of color.

Empowerment with Every Pair

Style is just part of the Mohala mission. For every pair sold, Mohala donates one week of school to a girl through the Room to Read Girls’ Education Program. This initiative helps break cycles of poverty through literacy and empowerment—creating ripple effects that go far beyond fashion.

To date, Mohala Eyewear has funded 95,000+ days of school. When you wear Mohala, you’re not just investing in yourself—you’re changing another girl’s future.

Your Signature Style, Finally

With Mohala Eyewear, you’re not choosing between comfort, style, or purpose—you’re getting all three. Whether you’re drawn to structured and bold, or soft and minimal, there’s a frame thoughtfully designed just for you.
