We immediately recognize this soft light and this smooth skin texture when we come out of a facial treatment in a clinic. For a long time, this “new skin” effect remained reserved for cabins, far from the home routine.
Few formulas really deliver on their promises on enlarged pores, blackheads and uneven texture. However, a beauty editor from Who What Wear UK explains that the Drunk Elephant TLC Framboos Glycolic Night Serum has changed her routine.
The Drunk Elephant serum reminiscent of a facial in a clinic
This lightweight night gel uses a blend of AHA and BHA to exfoliate skin and clear pores. Its formula combines glycolic, lactic, citric, tartaric and salicylic acids, combined with soothing plant extracts.
On the other hand, the application doesn’t feel like a simple cream. The tester speaks of rapid tingling, similar to that felt during her treatment in the cabin. It started with a weekly application before increasing to two or three evenings.
A glycolic AHA BHA formula designed to smooth skin texture
On paper, the objective is clear: smooth out roughness, control shine and homogenize the grain. By combining fruit acids and salicylic acid, the product acts on the surface and in the pores, which avoids accumulating several serums.
The editor also likes to simplify the rest of her routine, while keeping powerful active ingredients in a single gesture. She started with one application per week, then moved to two or even three evenings when her skin tolerated the serum well.
Results, limitations and for whom TLC Framboos is most useful
On her skin, the radiance was visible almost immediately, with a brighter complexion. After more than a month of regular use, she describes a less grainy, more uniform texture, and notes that by stopping the product, the difference appears very quickly.
For marked pores and blackheads, she believes that the work will require more time and regularity, even if she already senses an evolution. But again, the overall sensation reminds her of a facial treatment in a clinic, with controlled tingling, refined texture and serum presented as a real investment.
How to use TLC Framboos serum?
It is used in the evening. The tester started with a weekly application, then now applies it two to three evenings a week.
Is TLC Framboos suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the editor has sensitive skin and was concerned about a strong formula, but the botanical extracts seemed to limit irritation.
Does this serum replace in-clinic treatment?
With its controlled tingling, its mixture of AHA and BHA and the rapid radiance obtained, it is reminiscent of a peeling carried out in a cabin.
