Protini’s proprietary formula restores younger, revived-looking skin, almost from the first application. Lines, wrinkles, and signs of sun damage appear reduced, and skin feels strengthened and moisturised.

What else to know

100% free of essential oils, silicones, and fragrance. Vegan. Supporter of IEF (International Elephant Foundation).

Available sizes: 50 ml/ 1.69 fl oz, 15 ml/ 0.5 fl oz

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 skin-care solution.

  • Tip 1

    Add a pump or two of Protini to your a.m. smoothie for a moisturising protein boost.

  • Tip 2

    Apply to the neck and décolleté to get the same strengthening and moisturising benefits below the jawline.

  • Tip 3

    Create a sunny glow by mixing a couple drops of
    D-Bronzi with 1-2 drops of Protini.

    A NOTE

    Every day, I add protein powder to my smoothie for muscle support. I wanted a different kind of moisturiser that would do the same for my skin. Protini was born. Jam-packed with crazy levels of amino acids, signal peptides, and synthetic growth factors (the good kind), this dreamy “get-sh*t-done” cream melts right into your skin to make it feel hydrated, bouncy, and balanced. I’m hoping you’ll fall #drunkinlove!

    Collapsible content

    A Protein-Rich Moisturiser Formulated To Plump And Firm.

    For firmer Hydrated Younger-looking Skin

    We think of our skincare routines as smoothies.

    Because our products are biocompatible with skin and highly absorbable, simply mix a little of this and a drop of that in the palm of your hand and apply it all together.

    • Pygmy waterlily stem cell extract

      An excellent source of antioxidants and nutrients to replenish the skin. This ingredient is extremely moisturizing, soothing, and calming and supports healthy, youthful-looking skin.

    • Signal peptide complex

      Nine signal peptides (made up of amino acids, which form proteins in the skin) bind moisture to skin—plumping, firming, and restoring bounce.

    • 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.

        FAQS

        What does a peptide moisturizer do?

        Protini Polypeptide Cream contains nine signal peptides (made up of amino acids, which form proteins) to bind moisture to skin, plumping, firming, and restoring bounce.

        Is it true that you shouldn’t use Protini and vitamin C together in the same routine?

        No, they are completely safe to use together. In fact, mixing C-Firma and Protini Cream makes one of our favorite skincare smoothies, the Know Bright From Strong Smoothie for brighter, firmer skin.

        Is it safe to use with retinols?

        Yes, you can use it (or mix it) with any Drunk Elephant retinol treatment—A-Passioni or A-Gloei.

        Can it be used daily?

        Yes, the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream is designed for daily use. According to the product instructions, you can apply it morning and night to a clean, dry face.

        Customers consistently mention using it daily in their routines, and many note it works well under sunscreen and makeup for daytime use, while being rich enough for nighttime hydration.

        What are the sources of the peptides in this formula?

        Protini contains plant-derived peptides. Peptides are protein fragments composed of at least two amino acids.
