Reddit’s top pick from Drunk Elephant
Protini Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer
See alternativesPeptide-rich firming cream improves rosacea, texture, and firmness; costly and sticky.
Community take
Drunk Elephant is known for its commitment to clean formulations free from what they call the "Suspicious 6" ingredients, focusing on biocompatible actives targeting various skin concerns with a mid- to high-end price point. The community particularly loves its effective but gentle resurfacing acids and rich hydrating moisturizers that balance potency with skin barrier health. However, some users find the brand's prices steep for the results and occasionally report irritation or breakouts from certain actives despite the clean label approach.
