There ain’t no party like a Drunk Elephant party—so party like it’s 2021 with the brand’s new beauty kits. Three kits to choose from; beautiful, glowing skin all-around.

Dewy: The Polypeptide Kit is great for those of you looking to take a few years off your face. This edit contains a full-sized Protini Polypeptide Cream to strengthen and moisturise the skin, the Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser for a gentle deep-clean, the Bamboo Booster for a wee exfoliation, the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum for that moisture-rich bounce, and the A-Passioni Retinol Cream to diminish fine lines, sun damage, and deep wrinkles. The result? Youthful, radiant skin.

Firmy: The Day Kit is the best way to start the day. It contains the C-Firma Day Serum, the D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops, the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum, the Protini Polypeptide Cream, and the Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense SPF30. Packed with a healthy dose of antioxidants and moisturisers, your skin is protected all-day long.

Glowy: The Night Kit is the best of them all—the E-Rase Milki Micellar Water and the Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser washes away dirt and pollution from the day, while the T.L.C. Framboos, Lala Retro Whipped Cream, and F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfall exfoliates, rejuvenates, and pampers the skin for an effortless glow.
