Verdict

I was about $200 away from being VIB Rouge, so I splurged and got some products I don't need. I was pretty excited for this Drunk Elephant product, since the packaging is similar to the Kate Somerville Nourishing moisturizer but seems more moisturizing. This is definitely a good winter moisturizer, but on the nights I wore this I felt like the pores around my nose might be clogged if I used this consistently. After a few uses I noticed breakouts in my chin area and the lower parts of my cheeks. This is a bit too rich for my combination skin, I really wish more brands used this type of packaging.

Repurchase?

No.

Would I recommend it?

Yes.
