I can’t believe I’ve been writing about beauty for over four years and I only just started following the Skincare Addiction subreddit. Recently, on a boring weekday evening, I started clicking around some of the threads. Before I knew it, I was poring over crowd-sourced spreadsheets of cleansers, organized in ascending order by their pH, and trying to figure out which lactic acid product I absolutely needed immediately. Because a six-step skin care routine wasn’t enough for me, I guess.
The product I absolutely needed immediately turned out to be Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum. At $90, it was the most expensive serum I’ve ever bought — but if you’ve tried and loved Drunk Elephant's T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial, like I have, you probably get it. This. Brand. Does. Not. Play. We’re talking serious actives (that’s short for active ingredients, noobs).
It’s just as great as I wanted it to be. It made my dark spots look lighter overnight and my skin feel smooth and soft. It also doesn’t have any perfumes, dyes or fragrant essential oils, which is great for my sensitive skin, because skin care companies need to stop trying to make fragrance happen already. Don't sleep on this one. —Katie McCarthy
