"This is Drunk Elephant Baby Facial, it costs $80 for 50 ml of product. I first tried this around 2019 and I remember it being incredibly intense, like a hardcore AHA resurfacing mask. I have very sensitive skin and that was too much for me, and it was one of many products that made me turn away from AHA for a long time because they were all so harsh on my skin. Even though it promised to be gentle, it did not deliver for me back in the day. This product has recently been reformulated to be gentler and more barrier respectful, and I do think there are some meaningful upgrades here. It has a 25% AHA blend of glycolic and lactic acid plus 2% salicylic acid working at two different depths to exfoliate the surface and decongest the pores. This really delivers on what you'd want a Baby Facial to be, refreshed, renewed, brighter, smoother skin right after washing it off. It's just so freaking expensive at $80, and it may not be an investment everyone can afford upfront."

"Drunk Elephant Baby Facial is a great chemical exfoliant that you use like once a week and then wash off. [...] It contains 25% concentration with a blend of glycolic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, and tartaric acid, [...] and then 2% BHA that's going to help target pores and pore congestion. [...] It also contains pumpkin enzyme along with a few other plant-derived extracts. [...] You leave it on for about 20 minutes and then wash off, and you can use this once a week to improve your complexion overall. It's ideal for those who are seeking anti-aging benefits, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and even skin texture and skin tone improvement from skin aging and sun damage. It can also be really helpful for those with more dry, flaky skin. I really love this one and incorporate it into my routine on a regular basis."
