    • Lightweight Cream, Simple Packaging, Good Hydration
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz
My skin had been feeling a bit dry and uneven lately, so I wanted to try a moisturizer that felt nourishing without being too heavy. I kept seeing this one mentioned, so I decided to give it a try. When it arrived, the first thing I noticed is that the jar is pretty small, with a simple screw-on lid. It looks nice and minimal, but you do have to open it every time, which is something to keep in mind. The cream itself has a smooth, lightweight texture—kind of like a gel-cream—and spreads easily. It doesn’t have a strong scent, which I personally prefer. After using it for a few weeks, my skin feels more hydrated and softer overall. It absorbs well and doesn’t leave a greasy finish, so I’ve been using it both in the morning and at night. It also layers well under sunscreen and makeup without pilling. What I liked most is the texture, how comfortable it feels on the skin, and how simple it is to use. One downside is the size for the price—it runs out faster than expected. It’s been easy to keep in my routine, and my skin feels more balanced when I use it consistently. ... show more

    • Good product, buy this size
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz
Buy this over the $72 larger one. It’s $24 per .5 oz and with the larger one, you have more of a carbon footprint from the plastic. As someone with SUPER sensitive skin, I really love this moisturizer. It never breaks out my skin, absorbs and is super light. I always recommend applying anything with hyaluronic acid with a moist, clean face, because the the hyaluronic acid pulls water from anywhere nearby. That said, if your skin is dry, it will pull moisture from deeper layers of skin, having a dehydrating effect. ... show more

    • Really nice product
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz
I love this face cream! I like that it has clean ingredients, it’s really soothing and moisturizing, it isn’t greasy and works really well under makeup. My only complaint is how expensive it is. Such little product, for a lot of money. Even the full size isn’t much product and is way overpriced compared to other brands that use similar ingredients. I only buy this sometimes because of the exploitative price. Makes me not want to support the company but if that isn’t a concern of yours, the actual product is very good. ... show more

    • Worth it for large pores and scarring
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz
I've been using this for a few nights now, I have large pores and a lot of acne scarring/texture (box car scars, pitted scars,etc) and it makes my skin feel so soft so hydrated and it visually already looks so much better in my heavily scared areas, including very faint lines from dryness. I was surprised. I get it it's expensive but if you have scaring I'd say it's worth it. I'll try to update this when I've used to for longer as far as if some of the recent seller scars will heal up better then in the past from using this. I use this with a retinol btw ... show more

I ordered a small jar of the protini polypeptide cream. I opened the jar to use and it was filled to the top, I was happy and going to leave your company a good review. The next time I went to use it there was an air bubble inside and now I have half a jar of cream! I paid good money for this and I’m not pleased. Drunk Elephant needs to make this right ... show more

    • Worth the hype
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz
Really love this cream. It makes my skin feel super smooth, hydrated, and noticeably softer. It absorbs well without feeling heavy or greasy, and a little goes a long way. My skin looks more plump and healthy since using it. Definitely worth it.

I absolutely love Drunk Elephant products! But this was too small and was used up before seeing true results. Too pricey for the little you receive. I submitted two photos showing size difference next to my Drunk Elephant lip mask and a penny.
