Drunk Elephant’s T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial is one of the best at-home acid treatments I have ever tried. My skin is sensitive and usually detests any sort of strong alpha-hydroxy acid, let alone a 25% blend. The minute I slathered it on my face, I was expecting that all too familiar burning sensation to arise (the bottle does warn “tingling may occur,” which, for my skin, might as well read “get the ice ready”), but it never came. In fact, for the 20 minutes that the thick cream-like formula sat on my skin, I experienced no sign of discomfort whatsoever.
When I rinsed it off, my skin was glowing. It felt soft and smooth, and my usually garish pores looked virtually non-existent. Plus, while a strong acid treatment would usually have me fighting off angry breakouts in the days afterwards, no such thing happened. My skin just continued to ooze health and radiance. I tried it again after a week passed and then the next week and the one after that, too. It is now a firm favourite in my Sunday night skincare routine.
While it’s certainly not the product for people suffering with active acne or other inflammatory conditions, if your skin is in need of a pick-me-up, then I highly recommend giving T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial a go. Those aren’t words I ever thought I would say. It turns out, in this case, this Insta-famous product is seriously deserving of its hype.
