Protini Polypeptide Cream

I've suffered with eczema since I was a child but before I hit my mid 20s it only ever affected my arms and now I'm experiencing it on my face - under my eyes and around my nose and mouth. One year when it got cold it got so bad my skin was just flaking off in sheets and whatever I put on top of it would make it red and irritated and burned. Went to the derm and they gave me steroid …Read more

Count me among the people unimpressed by this product. Thankfully, I did not experience the breakouts, rashes, or bad reactions that others suffered (I was apprehensive to use it after hearing these reports!). Really, the product just did nothing for me. It is an extremely light moisturizer. I used up the small "Sephora birthday gift" jar in the summer, and it still didn't feel …Read more

Finding a good silicone and fragrance-free moisturizer nowadays, despite the thousands of brands out there, is not an easy task! I first got this DE offering in a sample size and as I loved the moisturizing effects I went out and purchased the full size product. This is one of those moisturizers that ticks a lot of boxes for me...I love the ingredients in here, the innovative packaging that you …Read more

My first thought when I finished my sample size was, "Oh no . . ." Because it's super freaking expensive but I really liked it! I have combination skin and it's a wonderful, light night cream that's perfect for when I'm oily in the summer. I love the gel-cream texture -- it absorbs quickly and makes my skin feel soft and smooth, though I used it for two solid months …Read more

I have been using this moisturiser ever since it came out, and I have some experiences. Originally, back when my skin was oily and tolerable of lighter products, I found this to be the best moisturiser I had used. I found it extremely difficult to find a moisturiser which didn't break me out, and this didn't fail to impress. It had a light-texture, which was fragrance-free, with great …Read more

I had tried samples of the Protini on my hand from the store tester and thought it seemed very moisturizing but was turned off by the high price. For this reason, I was very excited to receive a deluxe sample of this plus their jelly face wash as a birthday gift from Sephora. The sample I received is enough for me to use for several days, but I have decided after 2 days that it is probably …Read more

Initially I liked this, then found it drying. I used it up anyway, waiting for the miracle results that others claimed, and realized it wasn't going to happen. On my birthday Sephora gave me a bunch of tiny Drunk Elephant samples so I used Protini again and this time I liked it. It seemed much more moisturizing. I doubt I'll buy it anytime again soon. The best I can say is it's not …Read more

This is a decent moisturizer that is good for people with normal or combination skin. It has a gel like consistency and feels soothing on. People with more dry skin, like me, will find that they need a little more moisturizer. I didn't find anything absolutely ground-breaking about this product. There are just as good or far better moisturizers out there for a quarter of the price.

I love DE's treatments (Babyfacial, Vitamin C serum, Framboos night serum) but find their moisturizers to be overpriced and lacking. Protini is nice but I wouldn't consider it a must-have. It has a light, gel-like texture so it's more suited for Spring/Summer while Lala Retro is thicker and better for Fall/Winter. I also think Protini would be good for oilier skins. I have …Read more

I got this as the sample Sephora birthday gift! I actually really enjoyed this cream and thought my skin was really well hydrated! However I would never buy a moisturizer this expensive when I have such dry skin and need to use a lot!
