“For years, Drunk Elephant were called out for making their products appeal to young girls and teenagers, a demographic the products weren't really suited for. Your 13-year-old doesn't need a high strength glycolic acid or a high strength retinoid, but those products were marketed in a way that made them appeal to that demographic. And you saw that in the sales figures.”
▶15:58“In 2012, the founding of Drunk Elephant is was a huge game changer, especially for just the uh customer base, getting kids into it”
▶10:04“There are so many brands that offer products that are just as good, if not better, than what Drunk Elephant has to offer and for much less money as well. Drunk Elephant aren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination. They also aren't particularly innovative. Their products aren't the best on the market in any way. They aren't very trustworthy. It's not a good combination when you put it all together.”
▶16:10“Drunk Elephant definitely blew up in the last few years, especially with kids and teens getting super into skincare. [...] Overall there are some really nice effective products. I do think that it's a little bit overhyped and I think the price range is a little bit much for what it has to offer. The formulas, some of them are very nice. In terms of rating, I would give Drunk Elephant a 3.75.”
▶7:52“Just because a skincare product is more expensive does not mean that it works better than affordable products. It's all about the ingredients and formulation. You can get the exact same results from affordable products that you can get from overly priced products. There's absolutely no need to be dishing out a ton of money. [...] Unless you're a private school kid, put the expensive products down. There's no need.”
▶1:35“Brands like Drunk Elephant brands like Cuddly a lot of products jo aapko usually Nykaa pe nahi milenge you will not get it in Sephora you will get it on Styledt”
▶10:34“If you've got teenage daughters they should not be buying Drunk Elephant. I don't care what anybody says they should be buying Road.”
▶0:30“He literally brought up drunk elephant he's like this brand is the worst and I guess is the most is going to be this guy where they come in and they start mixing everything up and I clean it like every 15 minutes”
▶2:26“The brands such as Drunk Elephant, Pixi, and Fab or Glow Recipe can actually make your skin worse. Most cute skin care in those brightly colored bottles can actually damage the skin barrier and weren't made for pre-teens.”
▶4:00“I do not want my daughter getting into Drunk Elephant, it's too expensive for a tween. I think the products are fine, I do think they're pretty expensive for what you get, you can certainly get great skin care for much less money.”
▶7:34“Every single product on the skin feels really nice. The only drawback that we've got [...] is the actual amount of active ingredients is quite low, so it's not going to really change your skin so much, but it will definitely help make it feel better. Overall, I think it's not a bad brand if you've got the extra cash for it. If you're thinking well, I really want to get what I pay for, it's not the brand for me.”
▶6:53“Like Drunk Elephant. They're known for sh*tty customer service.”
▶13:42“I finished my sample and [...] it's so predictable, [...] this Drunk Elephant product always goes well for me and this was no exception. [...] There's something about using it where the next day your skin just looks so good, I don't totally understand why it stands out to me over other products, it must be some kind of synergistic blend. It's ten percent AHA acid, one percent salicylic acid, and a triple antioxidant brightening complex.”
