Opened the jar and just stared. It’s not a cream—it’s a science experiment in texture.
The real magic is the silence. No sticky slap, no tacky residue. Just gone.
It’s Drunk Elephant’s Protini Polypeptide Cream. $68. They said it firms. I was just bored of my moisturizer.
Peptide Blend
Signals skin to make more of its own support structure.
Pumpkin Ferment
A gentle enzyme exfoliant—doesn’t feel like one.
Sodium Hyaluronate
Holds 1,000 times its weight in water. The hydration workhorse.
It’s a protein shake for your face. Peptides are the headline, but the supporting cast does the heavy lifting. Nothing in here feels like filler.
- Signal Peptides: Tell skin to produce collagen & elastin
- Pumpkin Ferment: Buffs away dead skin so the good stuff can get in
- Sodium Hyaluronate: Plumps from within, not just surface slick
- Amino Acids: The building blocks for healthy skin barrier
Cool, whipped mousse. Scoops clean. Melts on contact—absorbs in under 15 seconds. Leaves a finish that’s neither matte nor dewy. It’s just… skin.
After two weeks, my foundation stopped clinging to dry patches I didn’t even know I had. The surprise? It plays nice with every serum I’ve thrown under it.
My skin is softer, more even. No new miracles, but a reliable, plumped calm. The “firming” is subtle—you feel bounciness before you see lifted contours.
It’s a luxury you feel every morning. Not life-changing, but mood-changing. Makes routine feel like a treat.
