Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream review

Drunk elephant was one of the first high end skincare brands that I used when I first started working full time and treated myself to some luxury skincare. Two of their moisturizers are widely popular, I’ve tried them both and here is what I think of Protini Polypeptide Cream.
Pros
Hydrating
Strengthens the skin
Great packaging
Lightweight
Moisturising
Cons
Expensive

Price and verdict
This moisturizer retails for £62/$69 for 50ml. It’s expensive, I agree. Do you have to use an expensive moisturiser? No, you don’t. If you literally just want a moisturiser to moisturise then there is definitely more affordable options.
However, if you are after a moisturiser that has a great combination of ingredients that does multiple things, then a cream like this can be worth the splurge. I did like the way it felt on my skin, it’s nice and light, fragrance free and left my skin feeling plump and hydrated.
I appreciate that it is refillable and there are options to purchase travel sized versions, I’d also say it’s better for oily and combination skin types because it’s lightweight.
Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream conclusion
As much as I enjoyed using this moisturizer, would I repurchase? Probably in the travel size as I already have a favorite splurge moisturizer. It’s lovely to use and I wouldn’t complain if I received it as a gift or found it on offer in any skincare sale.
