Great in pairing with the cleanser

This came in a bonus package with a Sephora order. It is a great face cream, goes on smooth, but does not feel greasy. It absorbs well into the skin and plumps up your skin to help it look healthy.

This moisturizer ACTUALLY WORKS. Most of the time it's hard to tell whether skincare products are really doing anything or not, but there's no doubt with this one. I saw smoother and firmer skin right away. The only downside is its price.

My face is happy but my wallet is not!

I received this in a mini size from Sephora during my birthday month. I kept hearing about Drunk Elephant from online influencers so was excited to test it out on my skin.

First impression: It's a slightly thick creamy moisturizer with no smell. It applies a little thick on the skin and feels like it might be greasy but it absorbs well afterward.

Thoughts after a month of daily use: the moisturizer is more hydrating than a water gel moisturizer but not as thick as some cream night moisturizers. I found my skin became more hydrated than it was with the previous moisturizer I was using. It didn't cause me to break out a lot and the few pimples I got were easily treated with a spot treatment. I'm not sure if it's a result of the moisturizer or face wash I use but the pores around my nose became less noticeable during this testing period.

Overall impression: I'm happy with the results of this product and would probably buy it again, especially in the winter, however, the price ($87CAD) is way out of my budget. Works for my skin type but not my wallet!

It's nothing special, but it's good

I chose this as my free birthday gift at Sephora this year. I have heard a lot of great things about Drunk Elephant skincare, but I just can't bring myself to ever pay $80+ for one of their products. This skin cream is really nice! A small amount on your finger goes a long way. The packaging is really cute, too; I like the minimalist design with the neon lid. I think it's a nice cream, but not worth the price tag. The cream that I get from Nivea works just as effectively for a tiny fraction of the cost of this one from Drunk Elephant. I'm glad that I was able to receive this free mini so that I could try it out without wasting my hard-earned money.

Protein for the Outside

Did not purchase - SEPHPORA - Beauty INSIDER Birthday Gift SAMPLE - I only used the product once and it felt deeply rich - only a very small amount required for good coverage - loved the feel of my skin after use so gave the sample to my daughter who has issues with red patches on cheeks and finds it hard to find a moisturizer that calms the skin with moisturizing effects (she usually says no to even trying products) but she chose to try it and liked it so much upon first use she kept the sample and took it away to school with her. Her Birthday is coming up and I have a pretty good idea that she is going to choose this Birthday sample from SEPHORA - which means I will be getting another sample of Beste No.9 Jelly Cleanser unless I can convince her this time to try that too.

For a girl who is not open to new products it appears that Drunk Elephant made the grade on this one.

If she continues to like the product it is a sure bet that the $84 CDN investment for 1.69 oz 50ml will be made to keep her skin feeling healthy and full of protini (protein) .

Protini Cream

I am quite pleased with this Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream. It is very different from its sibling, the Lala Retro Whipped Cream moisturizer, which I also like very much. It's a much thinner texture than the whipped cream. Even so, this silky thin mositurizer still gives my dry skin the hydration it needs, and it does so without making my face feel greasy or slimy. It's veryquick to absorb and, once it has, you don't notice it's on your face at all.
The most impressive thing to me about this moisturizer is that it really is unscented, 100%. It's hard to find a moisturizer that ticks all the boxes, that's also unscented. So this moisturizer is a big win for me. It's really nice.
