Protini Polypeptide Cream
"The moisturizer I keep repurchasing even when I try to break up with it."
Verdict —Firm, bouncy, expensive-looking skin in about three weeks of consistent use.
Protini is one of those products where I don't notice how much it's doing until I stop using it for a week. Then I look in the mirror and my skin just looks — tired. Less bouncy. Less lit.
The formula is a stack of signal peptides, growth factors, and amino acids. In practical terms, it's a lightweight cream that soaks in fast and gives you a soft, plumped finish. I use it AM and PM, always after a hydrating toner because it's more of a treatment than a heavy moisturizer.
In January I layer Lala Retro on top. In summer, Protini alone is enough. It's the ecosystem product — expensive, effective, and slightly addictive.
