Drunk Elephant's Protini Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer combines signal peptides, growth factors, supportive amino acids, and pygmy waterlily for immediate improvement in the appearance of skin's tone, texture, and firmness.

Details

Benefits

  • Replenishes and restores skin to a visibly strong, healthy state
  • Reduces the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and sun damage
  • Leaves skin feeling strengthened and moisturized
  • Restores younger, revived-looking skin
  • Dermatologist Tested
  • Formulated without the Suspicious 6 - Essential oils, Silicones, Chemical sunscreens, SLS, Fragrances + Dyes, and Drying Alcohols
  • Formulated at a skin-friendly pH of 4.0

Key Ingredients

  • Signal Peptide Complex (growth factors): Nine signal peptides (made up of amino acids, which form proteins in the skin) bind moisture to skin - plumping, firming, and restoring bounce.
  • Pygmy Waterlily Stem Cell Extract: An excellent source of antioxidants and nutrients to replenish the skin. This ingredient is extremely moisturizing, soothing, calming, and effective in supporting healthy, youthful-looking skin.
  • Soybean Folic Acid Ferment Extract: This B vitamin plays a central role in maintaining youthful, elastic skin. Skin is thirsty for folic acid, especially after exposure to sun.

Research Results

  • In a clinical study with 31 people after 8 weeks:
  • 96% showed improvement in skin's tone, radiance, and luminosity
  • 93% showed improvement in texture
  • 90% showed improvement in skin's hydration

How To Use

Apply morning and night to clean, dry skin for the vital dose of protein and replenishing moisture the skin needs to retain its youthful appearance. Mix with any Drunk Elephant serum, cream, or oil as part of a total skincare solution.
Tip: Think of Protini in your skincare routine like adding a shot of protein to your smoothie everyday.

Smoothie Tip: "Absolute Power Smoothie" - 1 pump Protini Cream + 1 pump B-Hydra + 1 pump C-Firma, for brighter, firmer, more moisturized skin.

Did the formula for this product change? I just purchased my second jar and the cream feels very heavy and greasy. The first jar purchased in June 2024 had a much lighter feel and finish.

Disaster

It felt great the first three days and then I had an allergic reaction and it burned my face. My skin began to peel, I had red dry splotches all around my mouth and chin and temple areas and it took 5 days to heal. It looked like a chemical burn. I'm giving my face a wk off and trying it again. ...

Dry skin? Best Moisturizer

Submitted 2 days ago

By Nancy

From Gautier, MS

This product is gifted by Drunk Elephant. But this is my honest review about the product me using it for about a week. First of all this cream is a super lightweight onto a skin. I have really dry, patchy flaky skin. Especially during the transition from winter to summer. I have been using this cream in my skin looks glowy, looks radiant and healthy. I also have a little bit of smile lines in this has help. To fade them away. So if you're struggling with any of the things that I mentioned you for sure want to try these out.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I think we all know but I'll just say it the packaging is iconic and even if I didn't enjoy this moisturizer I would still use it solely for the pump lol but I will say the moisturizer is amazing too. I have combination skin and this has been moisturizing enough for the cooler months but not too heavy. If you have dry skin I feel this would work better as a summer moisturizer. Works great under sunscreen and makeup also! Gifted by drunkelephant

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Complimentary from Drunk Elephant- this moisturizer is so good! It leaves my skin feeling so smooth and looks so glowy! I gave oily/acne prone skin and have had no issues! It's a thicker moisturizer so a little goes a long way, overall love it!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

This was gifted by drunkelephant and I am obsessed!! It blends in very easily, and it is extremely lightweight. It's a perfect moisturizer for the morning, as it doesn't feel like anything is on your face. Perfect for the upcoming warmer months!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
