Product details

Protini Polypeptide Cream is a peptide-rich, lightweight gel-cream moisturizer that hydrates, supports skin firmness, and restores bounce for a smoother-looking complexion.

Designed by Drunk Elephant as part of a clean, clinical skincare line, Protini blends multiple signal peptides, amino acids, and pygmy waterlily stem cell extract to target texture, tone, and surface resilience. The 50 ml / 1.69 fl oz jar delivers daily moisture with a fast-absorbing, non-greasy feel and is formulated free of essential oils, silicones, fragrance, and common irritants.

How does Protini fit into my morning and evening routine?

Apply Protini after cleansing and any treatment serums; it seals in hydration and creates a smooth base for SPF or makeup. Because of its lightweight gel-cream texture, it layers well with oils or thicker creams when extra moisture is needed.

  • Use twice daily on clean, dry skin — morning and night.
  • Layer over serums or under sunscreen and makeup.
  • Mix with other Drunk Elephant treatments for a customized boost.

Which key ingredients deliver results and what do they do?

Protini combines nine signal peptides plus supportive amino acids and pygmy waterlily stem cell extract to help plump, strengthen, and refresh surface texture. Additional nutrients like soybean folic acid ferment contribute to elasticity-supporting benefits.

  • Nine signal peptides: encourage surface plumping and visible firmness.
  • Pygmy waterlily stem cell extract: provides antioxidant support.
  • Soybean folic acid ferment extract: helps maintain skin elasticity and resilience.

Can Protini be used with other actives and sensitive skin types?

Protini is formulated without essential oils, silicones, fragrances, and harsh surfactants, making it compatible with many other actives and suitable for sensitive skin when introduced gradually. It pairs well with vitamin C, retinoids, and hydrating serums; patch testing is recommended when combining strong treatments.

  • Free of essential oils, fragrance, and silicones for broad compatibility.
  • Works alongside most serums and actives; introduce combinations slowly.
  • Patch-test if you have reactive skin or are using potent prescription products.

What texture and finish should I expect from the 50 ml jar?

The formula has a lightweight gel-cream consistency that absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy residue. It provides immediate surface hydration and a soft matte to natural finish that’s comfortable for daytime wear.

  • Light, non-greasy gel-cream texture that blends easily.
  • Fast absorption suitable for layering under makeup.
  • Delivers sustained hydration without a sticky film.

Who is this for: Protini Polypeptide Cream 50 ml is aimed at anyone seeking a clean, clinically inspired daily moisturizer that supports skin firmness and texture. It’s a good fit for those who want a peptide-forward option free of essential oils and fragrance, people building a layered skincare routine, and users looking for a lightweight product that works well under makeup or sunscreen.
