Protini Polypeptide Cream review
What it does
A peptide moisturiser. The nine signal peptides and eight amino acids are there to support the skin's own repair signalling, and the base is a competent, genuinely fragrance-free light cream that most skin types tolerate.
It works. That is not the argument against it.
The price problem
At roughly $1.36 per millilitre, this costs about eight times what CeraVe's Moisturizing Cream costs per ml, and the honest comparison is uncomfortable:
Peptides are real, and the evidence for topical signal peptides producing visible firming is considerably weaker than the marketing around them implies. You are paying a large premium for the least-proven part of the formula.
Where it genuinely earns points
The airless pump is the right packaging for an unstable formula and better than most competitors at any price. The range is properly fragrance-free, which is rarer at the prestige tier than it should be. And the texture is genuinely pleasant.
Who should buy it
Someone for whom the price is not a consideration and who wants a curated fragrance-free routine. If you are weighing value at all, a ceramide cream plus a well-formulated serum will do more for a fraction of the cost.

Drunk Elephant is a paid partner of TrusteDiva. That did not change this review — the brand holds the lowest value score on the site.
