description

Now refillable (and relovable!), this protein moisturizer combines signal peptides, growth factors, amino acids, and pygmy waterlily to improve the appearance of skin’s tone, texture, and firmness. Protini™ restores younger-, revived-looking skin. Lines, wrinkles, and sun damage appear reduced and skin feels strengthened and moisturized. Think of Protini™ like adding protein to your smoothie. Abundant with proteins and nutrients, it replenishes and restores skin to a visibly strong, healthy state. It has a pH of 4.0. This cream is free of essential oils, silicones, and fragrance.

I got this as a gift from Sephora, along with a DE cleanser. Damn, broke me out in a day. One application was all it took. I see am not the only one. How do products, that cause more harm than...

I got this as a trial size along with the gel cleanser. I'm still recovering from the breakout these products caused. Would not recommend.

This broke me out less than a day after trying it. My skin is oily and prone to breakouts. But for me, most products take a few days of use before leading to a breakout. So I can't comment about...

This broke me out terribly. I had small bumps on my face and neck. Don’t do it if you’ve had issues with acne in the past.

Where I live, it's a constant 50 degrees outside, with heaters blasting indoors - you can bet my skin is parched. It doesn't help that I'm also a dry skin type. There wasn't anything wrong with my...

When I first applied this, it sank right into my skin and didn't leave it feeling very moisturized, so I wasn't sure I would like it. HOWEVER, I'm happy to report that there is an impressive...

I don’t understand the hype of this product. Yes, when you first put it on your skin does seem to have an airbrushed glow to it, but after 10 minutes it’s gone and all I feel is a distinct ‘film’...
