if you read my other post, then you might know that i finally could go to singapore again after 2,5 years. i didn't have any plans to buy anything from sephora, i'll just wing it and buy whatever interest me. anyway, there are several kits from drunk elephant, but the other one was quite bulky. it will take more space in my baggage, plus there are some stuff in that kit that i've tried before so i didn't buy it. then i saw this one and immediately snatched it because i haven't tried the cleanser, TLC and the F electrolyte. the only one that i've tried is the retinol, but it was in the old packaging. i don't know whether they've reformulated it as well or just changed the packaging. anyway, this is the first item that i tried from the kit, let's see how it goes.

| all the products inside |
the packaging: since i bought this in a set, it comes in a hard box, with purple, orange and neon green dominated the color palette. you can see the picture of all the products inside at the back and then the list of everything and ingredients list at the back and on the sides in various languages. for the cleanser itself, it looks exactly like the full size one. it comes in white plastic squeeze tube with pattern on the sides and an orange screw cap. the opening is quite small compared to other cleanser that i've tried. they seal the inner opening to make sure that it's safe until being used. the cleanser is 60 ml so it's quite generous for a mini size.

the scent: this is unscented, but if i sniff real close, i can smell synthetic smell coming from it. probably because of the ingredients. and honestly, i'm not quite fond with it. i don't have problem with fragrance, so if the ingredients cause the foul scent, i think it's better to mask it with fragrance to give better experience.

the product: it's a transparent gel type cleanser and it's quite thick. with bare hands, it gives minimal foam. but with my foreo, it's bubbling like crazy. it's really different. that's why i only use a tiny bit with my fore, and a little bit more if i used my bare hands.
 |
| see how small the opening is? |

| the seal |
the result: it's completely washed off after i rinse it and it doesn't leave like a layer of moisture on top of my skin, unlike other cleanser that claimed to be gentle or pH balanced. and afterward, i don't feel any tightening or dry skin. so in conclusion, i can say that it works well.

this is my first time trying drunk elephant cleanser, and although i have no problem with it, i don't enjoy it much because of the foul scent. i don't think i'll repurchase it. i think it works okay for all skin types, so if you want to splurge, than this is a good option, especially if you're looking for unscented cleanser.
