Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum .27 oz

I have to say that I think this is one of the coolest containers I have ever seen. If you buy this, you will see what I mean. You twist the top blue cap and the pump comes up out of the middle of the top. It is nice also because you can pump as little or as much product as you need. This opaque container will keep the ingredients from spoiling but also you don't know exactly how much product you are getting. I think this item is overpriced for what you get. I have been using it and it hasn't really shown any difference in my skin. It isn't moisturizing to me. I like that it will fight the signs of aging with good antioxidants. I would imagine this is very good for preventing future skin damage by fighting free radicals, however, for $52 a bottle, I would like some indication that something is happening. There are many brands on the market that have beneficial, anti-aging ingredients that do not cost as much as this one (makeupartists brand worked for me and NCN is another good brand just to throw out a couple names I have had luck with). Some good ingredients are vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides, retinol, vitamin e (even if not listed specifically, it is naturally contained in a lot of oils like argan, jojoba, etc). Other people may have different reactions to this product but for me it is just so so. One thing I keep in mind when splurging for skin care items.................................. The drunk elephant brand sells straight Marula oil which is supposed to be very beneficial for the skin. She sells 1 oz for $72.00. You can look up marula oil & not find one other brand that sells it for even close to that price. Yes, the drunk elephant brand is unrefined but so are most of the others. Other brands sell the same thing for anywhere from $6.00 to $16.00 an ounce. That example right there says a lot. I do not mind to pay more for good, quality skincare products but I feel like this is one of those brands that uses effective (yet commonly used) ingredients and puts a ridiculous price tag on it to make us think it must work better. After seeing that about the marula oil, it left a bad taste in my mouth for this brand.
