Where Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream really shines is active ingredient strength, scoring 9.3 compared to Farmacy 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum's 5.9. Its formula features Niacinamide, Retinol, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 in high positions, signalling meaningful concentrations.
Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream brings Niacinamide, Retinol, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 as actives, while farmacy 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum relies on Ceramide Np, Tocopherol, and Retinol. Both approaches have merit, but the positioning and supporting ingredients make the difference.
Both sit in the premium bracket, so value comes down to formulation quality. Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream gets the nod here with its 9.0 overall score — you're getting more for a similar outlay.
