Frequently asked questions
Can I use it morning AND night?
Yes. Drunk Elephant designed it as a daily moisturizer for both. Use after serums and before SPF in the morning, and as the final step at night (or under a thicker night cream if your skin runs very dry).
Is it good for acne-prone skin?
Generally yes. It's free of fragrance, essential oils, and silicones, the most common breakout triggers in moisturizers. Some heavily oily skin types still find it too rich for daytime; the Drunk Elephant Lala Retro is lighter.
How long does the 50ml jar last?
Roughly 2 to 3 months at twice-daily use, longer if you use it only at night. The pump dispenser doses precisely and minimizes air exposure to keep the peptides stable.
How does it compare to The Ordinary Buffet?
Both contain peptide complexes, but Buffet is a serum (lighter, layered under moisturizer) while Protini is a moisturizer (richer, last step in the routine). Many users layer them: Buffet first, Protini on top.
