Cult skincare brand [Drunk Elephant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drunk-elephant-please-enjoy-responsibly) has previously embraced neon packaging and psychedelic themes for its products and now it is bringing an "Acid Trip" theme to its first-ever House of Drink skincare pop-up in North America—which is centered on skincare acids. The experiential [House of Drunk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-gloss) has been seen in London and Singapore and now, people in New York City will get to experience the pop-up for the first time. The pop-up is said to be "exactly like you're stepping inside the brand," making it appealing to fans and newcomers to the brand.

The skincare pop-up's Acid Trip theme playfully spotlights the brand's use of glycolic, tartaric, lactic and citric acids. On-site, visitors will be among the first to try Drunk Elephant's newly reformulated [Lala](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bora-barrier-repair-cream) Retro Whipped Cream with Ceramides.
