Benefits

  • Gently exfoliates with minimal irritation, smoothing skin's texture
  • Firms skin and boosts hydration, reducing visible fine lines
  • Replenishes hydration levels, adding lightweight moisture
  • Accelerates skin's turnover for a more vibrant appearance
  • Considered a milder, more hydrating AHA with minimal chances of irritation, lactic acid is perfect for AHA beginners or those with sensitized skin who are looking for a gentler exfoliation and skin that looks healthier overall.
  • Protini Serum is formulated at a skin-friendly pH of 3.5.

Key Ingredients

  • Lactic acid (10%): An AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that exfoliates the skin by dissolving the bonds that hold dead cells together. Lactic acid is considered a milder, more hydrating AHA, which minimizes your chances of irritation.
  • Signal peptide complex: 11 signal peptides and safe, biosynthesized growth factors help boost skin's self-renewal, binding moisture to skin and firming skin.
  • Snow mushroom extract: Known for its powerful hydration-boosting properties, this ingredient has potent antioxidant benefits for skin and helps defend against dehydration.

Research Results

  • In a clinical study with 31 people after 4 weeks:
  • 100% of participants had more radiant skin
  • In a clinical study with 31 people after 8 weeks
  • 100% of participants showed improvement in skin's elasticity
  • 93% of participants had smoother skin
  • Clinically proven to strengthen skin's barrier and reduce lines and wrinkles

How To Use

Shake gently before use. Apply to a clean, dry face, avoiding the eye area. May also be applied to the chest and backs of hands. Follow (or mix) with your choice of Drunk Elephant moisturizer. During the daytime, may also be combined with C-Firma Day Serum for added brightening and firming benefits. Follow with Umbra. Protini Powerpeptide provides gentle chemical exfoliation on its own, so it is not necessary to also use T.L.C. Framboos or Babyfacial on the same day.

How to Recycle:
Pop off the top.
Unscrew the clear vial from the top.
Recycle the vial + outer container.

Precautions: Use only as directed. Avoid eye contact. Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs and consult a physician. Use a sunscreen daily while using this product and for a week after ceasing use. Product's contact with skin must be of limited frequency or duration.

Buying it Over and Over

This is my personal holy grail! I continue to buy it over and over again, ensuring purchases are made before I even run out of a bottle. I travel a lot for work and bought multiple sizes to ensure it's with me wherever I go. My skin LOVES it!

Product is amazing! Packaging is awful!

The product works wonders on my skin, however the packaging is awful!! I've purchased this item several times now in hopes that the bottle will work. I was wrong! I've wasted a lot of money on a product that leaks out of the container and dries up on the pump. Definitely a waste of money and product...

I have been using this serum for a few years, and it seems like the older I get, the better it works! It's just amazing. I only use it at night and make sure my skin is well hydrated with B-Hydra and a good moisturizer on top, plus an oil to seal. I have used competitor products, and they don't even come close to the performance of Resurf serum. The only criticism is the steep price tag.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Actually a really good serum

I got a midi size of this a while back and didn't think much, but after using it I've realized I actually really, really like it. My skin looks great when I use this. Part of the reason why this serum stands out is because it has both copper peptides and lactic acid, which means the copper peptides are encapsulated and okay to use with other acidic products. If you are knowledgeable about skincare, you know that copper petides can be really finnicky mixing with other products (Naturium did this in their peptide serum). Unfortunately, this is really expensive, but I've looked for dupes and can't find any.

Wish it did NOT have lactic acid

Love the fact that it has so many peptides. BUT, omg, the lactic acid is super itchy and stinging on my face. I have sensitive skin. Wish Drunk Elephant would make a version of this WITHOUT the lactic acid.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
