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.

Details

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

How To Use

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.

Smoothie Tip: "Absolute Power Smoothie" - 1 pump Protini Cream +1 pump B-Hydra +1 pump C-Firma, for brighter, firmer, more moisturized skin.

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.
