Tried Lala Retro again: it doesn't hydrate their skin and almost irritates it, unlike other moisturizers they use.

“I tried it again this month and it doesn’t moisturize. My skin doesn’t get hydrated from it. It’s almost irritated?”

Found Lala Retro thin yet greasy, never sinking in, with their face tight an hour later; used up the jar on their elbows.

“that cream is weirdly thin and somehow greasy at the same time without actually sinking in. My face felt tight an hour later every time I used it.”

Lala Retro just sits on top of their skin without doing anything, frustrating for the price.

“I swear, that texture just sits on top of my skin without doing ANYTHING”

Older than 36 months. These may describe an earlier version.

A favorite thick cream: super thick and moisturizing, though not cost-effective.

“Drunk elephant la la retro cream. Super thick and moisturizing!”

Used it for years: fragrance-free, very nice, moisturizing and emollient.

Lala Retro is their holy grail: very moisturizing without being shiny.

“Lala is my holy grail! I do like the packaging a lot, and it's so moisturizing without being shiny.”

Hates Lala Retro, possibly the worst moisturizer they've tried.

“I hate the Lala one. Might be the worst one I've ever tried.”

Bought one tub of Lala Retro and didn't repurchase; liked it, but not enough for the price.

“I purchased one tub of DE and never repurchased, not because I didn’t like it but I didn’t like it enough to spend the money.”

On very sensitive skin, Lala Retro caused no problems and they still really like it.

“I tried Lala Retro, along with other DE products. No problems, and I still really like it.”

Finished a deluxe sample of Lala Retro and found it nothing special.

“went through a deluxe sample of Lala and bought a full tub of FAB. Lala was nothing special”

Loves Lala Retro's texture; moisturizing and super gentle.

“I’ve used both and love both. Currently using LaLa Retro mostly bc I stocked up during a sale a few months ago but also bc I love the texture.”

Prefers Lala Retro's texture, which sinks in and moisturizes better than FAB Ultra Repair for them.

“I prefer the texture of the Lala, the FAB just didn’t feel like it moisturized or sunk in for me.”
positiveabsorbs quickly

On sensitive skin, finds Lala Retro more moisturizing than FAB and loves how it melts into the skin.

“the way Lala just melts into skin feels much nicer in my opinion.”

Loved the old Lala Retro on sensitive combination skin, but the reformulated version made their skin react horribly.

“The old Lala Retro was my dream moisturizer. I'd never used anything that worked so perfectly for my sensitive combo skin.”
negativeirritating

Used the whole Drunk Elephant line for months and found Lala Retro overrated and overpriced, thick, with no results after two months.

“I used the entire drunk elephant line for months and it’s definitely overrated and overpriced.”

Loves Lala Retro: skin looks amazing after about two months, and it mixes well with their other DE products.

“I love LaLa (and basically everything I’ve tried from DE). My skin is looking amazing after using it for around two months.”

Loves Lala Retro, especially over tretinoin to protect their face.

“I love lala and it’s especially lovely over tretinoin to protect my face.”

Lala Retro caused only occasional small whiteheads, far fewer than Protini.

“La La Retro does the same but 90 percent less to the point i don't really consider it an issue.”

Lala Retro made them break out fairly badly, so they stopped.

Love/hate with Lala Retro depending on skin condition; likes a small amount over a serum when dry.

“I have a love / hate relationship with Lala. I feel like it entirely depends on what condition my skin is in.”

Tried a Lala Retro mini and dislikes it: very greasy and doesn't seem to absorb even overnight.

“It’s very greasy feeling and even after sleeping all night I can still feel it on my skin. It doesn’t seem to absorb at all.”
