Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream travel size 15 ml (.5 fl oz) — lightweight peptide moisturizer for firmer, hydrated skin

Protini Polypeptide Cream is a peptide-rich, lightweight gel-cream that delivers daily hydration while visibly improving skin firmness, texture, and resilience.

Drunk Elephant's Protini combines multiple signal peptides, growth-factor analogs, and botanical stem cells in a fast-absorbing base to support the look of firmer, more even skin. Designed to layer easily under sunscreen and makeup, this .5 fl oz travel-size container brings concentrated protein and nutrient support to a daily routine without heavy oils, silicones, or fragrances.

How does Protini improve firmness and surface texture?

Protini uses a blend of nine signal peptides and supportive amino acids to target the appearance of laxity and fine lines. Peptides communicate with skin to help it look plumper and more resilient, while lightweight humectants lock in moisture for smoother surface texture.

• Nine signal peptides to promote visible plumping and firmness
• Humectant base for immediate, long-lasting moisture
• Pygmy waterlily stem cell extract for antioxidant support

When and how should I use this moisturizer in my routine?

Apply Protini morning and night to clean, dry skin as a daily moisturizer. It’s designed to layer with serums, sunscreens, and makeup, and can be mixed with other Drunk Elephant treatments to customize hydration and active delivery.

• Use AM and PM after serums and before sunscreen or makeup
• Mix a drop with treatments or thicker creams to adjust texture and potency
• Works well alone for lightweight hydration or with richer creams on drier days

What key ingredients should I know about and what do they do?

Protini’s formula centers on peptide complexes plus nutrient-rich botanicals to support the visible signs of skin aging and fatigue. Ingredients were chosen to restore a firmer look and to support elasticity without fragrances, essential oils, alcohols, or silicones.

• Nine signal peptides: visible plumping and bounce restoration
• Pygmy waterlily stem cell extract: antioxidant protection and radiance support
• Soybean folic acid ferment (vitamin B-like): supports skin elasticity

Is this suitable for sensitive or combination skin types?

Protini is formulated to be skin-first and broadly compatible: it’s free of common irritants like essential oils and synthetic fragrances, making it a good option for many sensitive or combination skin types. However, individual reactions vary, so patch testing a small area is always recommended if you have very reactive skin.

• Free of essential oils, silicones, fragrances, and alcohols
• Dermatologist-tested and cruelty-free formulation
• Light gel-cream texture suits combination to normal skin; can layer for drier needs

Who is this for: Protini Polypeptide Cream is intended for anyone wanting a daily, lightweight moisturizer that supports the appearance of firmer, more resilient skin. It’s a practical choice for people seeking visible improvement in tone, texture, and elasticity without heavy oils or added fragrance—ideal for daily use, travel, or as a layering product in multistep skincare routines.
