Introduction

For our #2 moisturizer pick, we chose Protini Polypeptide Cream from the company Drunk Elephant. The colorful and whimsical packaging definitely brightens up any room, but we delved into the cream itself to see if it could actually make skin look younger. We were pleased to see that they have four active ingredients, which appear to be impressive, however, none of these are patented, which means that they have not been proven in clinical studies or registered. Additionally, it claims to have a high percentage of actives, but nowhere on its website does it state what that percentage actually is. While there is no money-back guarantee, there is an option for refunds if you request one within 30 days of purchase.

Ingredients

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream contains four active ingredients, they are:

  • 9 signal peptide complex - Boosts facial moisture for plumper skin.
  • Pygmy water lily stem cell extract - Antioxidants and nutrients which moisturize and replenish skin.
  • Soybean folic acid ferment extract - A type of vitamin B which helps restore skin.
  • Acetyl glutamine - Inhibits melanin to aid skin repair from sun damage.
The is no mention as to what the concentration is of the active ingredients within the moisturizer. The reason this is concerning is that there are close to 60 other ingredients also found in this cream! While Drunk Elephant does not use harmful ingredients in their products, such as parabens, it is concerning that the percentage of active ingredients is not clearly stated anywhere. Additionally, as mentioned above, none of these ingredients are based on clinically proven research.

How To Use

According to the product website, application should take place both in the morning and at night to skin which is clean and dry. Additionally, Drunk Elephant suggests adding a shot of its Protini cream, for an extra protein boost, to any of its serums, creams or oil.

Price

One jar is available for purchase for $68.00. We looked to see if there were any discounts because spending close to $70 on one jar of moisturizing cream adds up, however, there were none available.

Guarantee

While returns are possible within 30 days of purchase, there is no explicit money-back guarantee. Additionally, be aware that only full-priced items are eligible for a refund. Sale items will not be accepted at all for refunds.

Conclusion

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream appears to be a high-quality moisturizer which might very well get you the results you are looking for. We admire the commitment of Drunk Elephant not to use ingredients they term as the “suspicious 6". What they do contain are four active ingredients which utilize biotechnology for youthful skin. Our issue is that none of these ingredients are proven with clinical studies and the concentration of these ingredients is unknown. Without both of these facts, it's impossible to completely recommend this moisturizer. The price of this cream is not exorbitant but it is close to $70 for one jar, which is why we would have liked to see a clear cut money-back guarantee. Instead, there is a possibility for a refund within 30 days of purchase, which a vigilant consumer can take advantage of. For all the reasons listed above, it received a high enough rating to make it to the number two spot but not quite high enough to reach our top pick.
