Kathryn says: The only difference is The Ordinary Marula Oil is slightly thinner. If anything, this makes it easier to spread and makes it absorb more quickly. The thickness of the Drunk Elephant marula oil makes it a little difficult to apply, but again this difference is so slight! The marula oil is great for really dry days...and both brands feel luxurious. These are great at night over retinol to combat the drying effect if you are prone to retinol induced dry skin. The Ordinary oil is inexpensive enough I can use it on dry heels, elbows, etc. and not feel wasteful! Amazing on lips too. *It should be noted that Drunk Elephant is considered 'Clean at Sephora' and has an EWG score of 1.The Ordinary has an EWG score of 1 and says it is 'free of parabens, sulphates, mineral oil, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, animal oils, coal tar dyes, formaldehyde, mercury, oxybenzone.'

Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Oil Antioxidant Face Oil vs. Fourth Ray Beauty Marula Oil
Drunk Elephant is $40 for .5 oz while Fourth Ray is $8 for .5oz. Both of these products contain 100% Marula Oil, which is known to help with signs of aging while moisturizing. The ingredient itself has an EWG score of 1, which is the best score on the EWG scale. Testers thought these were incredibly similar in terms of smell and feel. Both products are simply oil that will help moisturize your skin (while not clogging pores). They did, however, note their frustration with the packaging on Fourth Ray. Fourth Ray has a built-in dropper and you really have to work to get the product out. One tester said she would not buy this item simply because of the packaging. Drunk Elephant comes in a simple to use pump. Buy Fourth Ray
Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Oil vs. Acure The Essentials Marula Oil
Drunk Elephant is $40 for .5 oz while Acure is $16 for 1 oz. Both of these products contain 100% Marula Oil, which is known to help with signs of aging while moisturizing. The ingredient itself has an EWG score of 1, which is the best score on the EWG scale. Testers agreed these were similar in that neither had much of a scent and both came in pump bottles. One tester thought that Drunk Elephant was slightly thicker and stickier, but she preferred the slickness of the Acure oil. Both testers would switch to Acure to save. Buy Acure
