this might be the last item that i finally tried from this set. anyway, if you haven't known yet, i bought this set during holiday around last year or so? inside this set, i've tried the a passioni in their original packaging, so i don't know if they've changed the formula or just the packaging. but everything else.. i haven't tried them so it's a good thing i bought this set. i also get to try the TLC framboos which is usually not included in any other set. i've heard good reviews about the TLC, so i hope it works for me too.

| the bottle |
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. the serum itself comes in the mini size of the full size. everything looks like the full size one. all drunk elephants serum comes in white plastic bottle with different color head according to the type. for TLC, the bottle is in block shape and the head is fuchsia. you can twist the top part to reveal the pump head and twist it back down to completely tuck the pump head so it's secure. there's description at the back of the bottle in english and french as well as the ingredients list if i'm not mistaken. the mini size is 15 ml which is half of the full size serum so it's quite generous for a mini size. especially since i don't need to use much and only use this twice a week to every other day.

the scent: this one is unscented but obviously there's a little scent because of the ingredients. but it's not bothering me.
 |
| the twisted pump head |
the product: it's a transparent gel type serum that's easy to spread around. i only need a little for my whole face, but considering this is an exfoliating serum, i focuse more on T-zone before putting it on my cheeks. i avoid using it on my neck because based on my experience, sometimes the acid can be too strong for my neck area so i rarely use it on my neck.

| how it looks like on my hand |
the result: so far, avoiding my neck area works well for my skin. it doesn't irritate my skin that way. and only using it at night for every two to three days work for my skin. after using it, i notice that the bumps reduce visibly overnight. but for more stubborn acne, it takes a while for it to be gone. but so far, for smaller bumps and uneven skin, it works like a real miracle overnight. overall, this works well for my skin but i still take a great precaution to put on moisturizing serum afterward to prevent drying.

| after spreading it around |
i'm quite surprised to see that this one works well. drunk elephant acids are pretty strong, so i was afraid at first. but apparently, taking some precautions like avoiding my neck area and using it only twice or three times a week and always follow up with a moisturizing serum works well for me. i think if you want to try an exfoliating serum, this one is on the stronger side, so make sure to hydrate and moisturize afterward to prevent dryness and over-exfoliate. start slow. pay attention to your skin's condition. but, this one is on the pricey side but luckily, they offer them in set like this, so if you want to try them, maybe try them in a set. as for me, i'm glad i get the chance to try it and would consider repurchasing it, but only if i have the budget since it's quite expensive.
