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
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.

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. ...

Love it!!
It is my first time using this moisturizer and I am now in love with it!! The texture absorbs quickly into my skin without leaving any residue. It makes my skin hydrated and plump all day. It also makes my skin firmer and smoother. My skin has been feeling so much better than before!! I was gifted by Drunk Elephant.
I would so buy this product again and again
I received the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream as a gifted by Drunk Elephant, and it has quickly become a favorite in my skincare routine. This lightweight yet deeply hydrating moisturizer is packed with a powerful blend of peptides, amino acids, and growth factors that work to restore the skin's barrier and improve texture and tone. The formula is clean, free from essential oils, silicones, and fragrances, making it ideal for sensitive skin. After consistent use, I've noticed my skin looking smoother, plumper, and glowing. While it's on the pricier side, the high-quality ingredients and noticeable results make it a worthy investment for anyone looking to elevate their skincare.

I love the ingredients list in the Protini Polypeptide moisturizer. It's a treatment and moisturizer in one. The peptide blend helps to firm, hydrate and plump the skin. It's a medium weight moisturizer that can work year round. I love that it wraps my skin in moisture, making it feel so soft and bouncy. Complimentary from Drink Elephant
