- Cruelty Free
- Vegan
- Sustainable Packaging Brand
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. ...

Got milks on my forehead while using this /:
Drunk elephant has to be one of those hype brands because I've spent over $400 on their different products & have never seen positive results. I've bought this face cream a couple times & I get milia on my forehead & temple area everytime I use this. I wouldn't waste the money again after I stopped using it but if it works for you do you
Great for sensitive skin
Solid option—moisturizes and rich but not heavy. Absorbs easily. Goes well under makeup. Does not irritate my skin—yay!
NEVER REFORMULATE
I have never in my life found a moisturizer that contains all of the incredible ingredients this one does. Seriously, just look it up on incidecoder. I have been using this moisturizer for years, regardless of price, and will use it for the actual rest of my life if this formula never changes. Some other DE products can be hit-or-miss, but this is a true holy grail for me.
Love it
I have very sensitive skin! Big pores acne for years. I'm 38 and never use face moisturizer because I feel like since my skin is an oil pit already it was gonna make it worse but I'm in love. Soft and gentle on my skin. 2 weeks already and will continue to use .
love her
I received this peptide gifted by Drunk Elephant to try for a couple of weeks. I've really enjoyed using it. It has a very faint smell and the peptide leaves my face feeling hydrated and soft after using it.
