Highlights
Summary
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

- 96% showed improvement in skin's tone, radiance, and luminosity
- 93% showed improvement in texture

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. ...

Super hydrating
I received this product complimentary from Drunk Elephant in exchange for my honest review. I've been enjoying using this moisturizer in my nightly routine. It's a very hydrating and thick formula, so it takes a minute to spread out and sink into the skin. - And so for that reason I don't use it in my morning routine as I find it too heavy for daytime, even for my dry skin.
Highly recommend!!
Gifted by Drunk Elephant, I've been using the Drunk Elephant Protini Cream for a while now, and I'm obsessed! It's lightweight but super moisturizing, and my skin feels so smooth and refreshed. It soaks in fast without feeling greasy, and I've definitely noticed a nice, healthy glow. Love it!
love
I just received this product gifted by drunk elephant in exchange for this review and I love it! I love drunk outfit and everything with this brand has worked super well. This moisturizer felt gentle on the skin and on greasy and felt extremely hydrating.
Great!
Complimentary from drunkelephant. I love this brand, especially the products with protini. My skin is so gorgeous, looks so good. I recommend it for sure! Love the texture, how quickly it dries and how my skin feels after use.
Very Hydrating
With my sensitive combination skin, finding the right moisturizer is tricky, but Protini is a winner! It's lightweight, hydrating, and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. My skin feels balanced, firmer, and never got irritated. (Gifted by Drunk Elephant)
