Drunk Elephant's Protini Powerpeptide Resurfacing Serum is a 10% daily lactic acid serum infused with peptides to gently exfoliate and firm skin, targeting signs of aging for a smoother, younger-looking complexion.
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
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- 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
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.

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...

What my skin needed
Reviewed at
I use exfoliants as supposed to but never seen much improvement in my pores and lines, I guess texture too… that dehydrated look with lines forming. Just large pores. My skin didn't look great even though I took care of it. After using this I'm amazed! I'm in my first week and some break outs but that's normal and using a chemical exfoliant. I'm going to use this every day for my life now. It's made a huge difference in my skin! The difference that I been searching for. Expensive…. But I just signed up in the website so maybe I'll get coupons here or there. But I will for ever use this. Never been a chemical exfoliator person but so glad I gave it a try!
Best product EVER
I have very dilated pores, and this serum has spectacular results resurfacing and thightening pores. It dramatically improves overall skin appearance. This is my second bottle, but I will never leave this product.
Packaging is awful,

I am on my 3rd bottle, the packaging is awful. The product gets clumped in gel form around the spring, the pump just doesn't work. Very frustrating for the money spent.

Although some people think this is a little bit too strong, I felt that this was a very good product with did its job. I have since started using prescription retin- a. So I will no longer be using this product.
