T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum

This is FANTASTIC for people with hyperpigmentation. I stopped using it for a month as I had started Accutane. I started developing a dark patch around my mouth and general uneven skin tone and was wondering whether the Accutane was causing it. I was still wearing SPF50+ everyday so I couldn’t understand why I had so much hyperpigmentation. I started using this product and only after a week my …Read more

First with a disclaimer, I have only been using this for a week now and I know to get true results it take a few weeks. I still wanted to post this now though because this is such an expensive product. Also a skin background, I have very oily, acne prone skin with extremely large pores and acne scarring. I thought it was going to be a magical serum that made my skin perfect (I know that’s dumb …Read more

I just finished the travel size bottle and I'll definitely be purchasing. I'm black and hyperpigmentation is my biggest skincare concern. I feel that my skin is looking much more even thanks to this product.

I got the WORST breakout and WORST skin in literally my WHOLE life wearing this.

I've always been acne prone, but my 10 steps skincare routine helps a lot. My skin was super sensitive, i got a lot of itch, redness, whale using many skincare and makeup if that made any sense, but i am also has this oily and acne prone skin, so many cream for sensitive skin(and many sensitive skin …Read more

It doesn't have much of a scent; it just smells like the usual chemical exfoliant but with a slight 'aloe' scent. It has the texture of an aloe gel, and it easily spreads around my face. It doesn't burn whatsoever, although there is a slight 'warmth' which lasts for a few minutes. Evidently, the packaging is great and protects the splendid ingredients from air and …Read more

Background: oily/combination, acne prone & redness

Originally got this as a sample. Haven’t purchased full size because it’s really expensive. $128 at Sephora, yikes!!!

I used this serum as directed and by morning, my pimples were SO FLAT and small!! It was a miracle (and I don’t believe in miracles) but damn did this show me up. If you have the money to invest in this, DO …Read more

I alternate between this and Paula's Choice AHA 8% Gel and find that they are fairly similar in terms of effectiveness and texture. Drunk Elephant Framboos can be slightly strong if new to acids and my skin can be sensitive so I only use this about twice per week. I have the 30ml size and I still have quite a lot left as I don't use it every day. It is £76 where I live so it is quite …Read more

As someone used to acids this serum is a joke, not effective at all didn’t see any results my texture doesn’t look smooth like with other acids ,for me zo skin glycogent and esthederm Aha peel beat drunk elephant

I got a tiny size of this to try out with the Night Bright duo from Sephora, which comes with the Framboos and the marula oil. The directions say to mix them, which is weird, but okay -- I applied it at night in place of my usual lotion (Alpha Hydrox 10% glycolic, my infinity HG). As other reviewers note, the Framboos is sticky and really not moisturizing, but I suppose that's the point of …Read more

I won't give this full stars since I haven't compared this to other glycolic acid solutions.

I'm not one to splurge on expensive skincare products when there are perfectly fine alternatives that are much cheaper (The Ordinary being a notable example). But during a period of bad acne I couldn't get my hands on the Ordinary's glycolic toner, so I bought a sample …Read more
