Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Serum 30 ml — 10% AHA + 1% BHA nighttime resurfacing

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos is a nighttime AHA/BHA serum that resurfaces skin with a 10% AHA blend plus 1% salicylic acid to refine texture, reduce clogged pores, and promote a clearer, more even-looking complexion.

Designed as a targeted resurfacing treatment, this gel serum combines glycolic, tartaric, lactic, and citric acids with salicylic acid and raspberry extract to lift dead skin, loosen sebum, and smooth uneven texture. The formula avoids the brand’s Suspicious 6 ingredients and emphasizes balanced pH and small molecular weight actives for better skin penetration. Use in the evening, build tolerance gradually, and follow with sun protection during daytime.

How quickly will I notice smoother skin?

Visible improvements in texture and pore clarity can appear within a few applications for many users, though full results typically emerge after several weeks of consistent use. Initial tingling can occur as the skin adjusts; this often subsides with continued application.

• Expect mild tingling during the first few nights.
• Texture and pore appearance often improve within 2–6 weeks.
• Best results with regular nightly use and daytime SPF.

Can it help with breakouts and oily skin?

The inclusion of 1% salicylic acid helps dissolve oil and clear congested pores, while the AHA blend exfoliates surface buildup that can trap impurities. Together they work to reduce the frequency of blemishes and curb excess shine without relying on drying alcohols.

• Salicylic acid penetrates pores to loosen sebum and debris.
• AHAs remove dead skin from the surface to prevent clogged follicles.
• Raspberry and supportive actives help maintain skin balance.

How should I introduce T.L.C. Framboos into my routine?

Start slowly: apply to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area, every other night until your skin adapts. If tolerance is good, progress to nightly use; always follow with a moisturizer and use broad-spectrum SPF during the day, since AHAs increase sun sensitivity.

• Apply to dry skin at night after cleansing.
• Begin every other night, then increase frequency as tolerated.
• Stop or reduce use if persistent irritation occurs and consult a professional.

What makes this formula different from other chemical exfoliants?

Drunk Elephant emphasizes skin-compatible pH and small-molecule actives for efficient delivery without using essential oils, silicones, fragrances, or harsh solvents. The multi-acid AHA blend plus BHA is calibrated to resurface and clarify while minimizing unnecessary additives.

• Balanced pH for effective exfoliation without overstripping.
• Combination of multiple AHAs with salicylic acid for layered action.
• Free from the brand’s Suspicious 6 ingredient categories.

Who is this for: T.L.C. Framboos is aimed at adults seeking a clinically minded resurfacing serum for rough texture, visible pores, congestion, or occasional breakouts. It suits those comfortable introducing active acids into their regimen and who will pair the serum with daytime sun protection. Avoid use during pregnancy without professional guidance and discontinue if severe irritation develops.
