Sensitive skin has stuck with Drunk Elephant C-Firma for 8 years, gets compliments on their bare skin, and likes the newer mix-at-home formula that resists oxidizing.

“I have sensitive skin and this is the only product I’ve stayed consistent with for 8 years and I get compliments all the time on my bare skin .”

Just bought C-Firma Fresh and the powder won't fully dissolve despite shaking.

“just purchased the Drunk Elephant C Firma and followed the mixing instructions. However the white powder in the bottom is not fully dissolving despite shaking multiple times.”

Too thin to apply, smelled awful and was so sticky it wouldn't spread.

“My main problem was that it was so thin that it ran through my fingers before I could make contact with my face. It also smelled awful and was so sticky it wouldn’t spread.”

The smell was terrible the first time and they couldn't use it again.

“I tried it too. The smell was terrible the first time I used it and I thought I would try to push through but I couldn’t use it again.”

Has used and loved C-Firma Fresh for years, though their latest bottle looks very dark.

“I’ve been using the C-Firma serum for years and I love it.”

C-Firma Fresh brightened their skin at first, but oxidized and yellowed before half the bottle was used.

“I found it very effective the first few weeks of using it. My skin became brighter, however, I noticed that I wasn’t even halfway through the bottle and the serum has already significantly yellowed.”

Used C-Firma Fresh for 5-6 months for post-treatment hyperpigmentation with no improvement.

“I've been using DE Firma C Serum for about the past 5-6 months for hyperpigmentation and have seen no improvement”

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

Finds C-Firma Fresh smells like hot dogs and wants something to mask it.

“I use it with the unscented Protini cream and I need some product that works with both and has some fragrance that overpowers the hot dog smell.”
negativestrong scent

Likes C-Firma Fresh's effects but hates its smell and the tacky feel it leaves.

“I’ve been using Drunk Elephants C-Firma serum for awhile now and I like the effects but I hate the way it smells and how tacky/sticky it makes my skin feel.”

Happy with their other DE products but hasn't noticed any difference from C-Firma Fresh.

“I am pretty happy with everything so far except the C-firma... i haven’t noticed any difference with this product.”
