Summary
Highlights
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.
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

Very gentle & effective on sensitive skin. Hygienic pump, easy to use, & best of all… Actually works! Thank you Drunk Elephant! I will keep buying this product.
Hydrating for sensitive skin!!
Drunk Elephant's Protini Polypeptide Cream is a standout in the skincare world. Its lightweight yet deeply moisturizing formula is packed with peptides, amino acids, and growth factors that work to nourish and strengthen the skin. The cream absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling hydrated, plump, and smooth without any greasy residue. It's ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and helps improve the skin's texture and elasticity over time. The clean, fragrance-free formula is a bonus for those with sensitive skin, making it a must-try for anyone looking to enhance their skincare routine. Gifted by drunk elephant
