The MECCA view

Your daily protein fix — a shot of firming, strengthening moisture that works to nourish your skin and reduce visible signs of aging. This breakthrough Protini™ moisturiser combines an unprecedented array and concentration of signal peptides, supportive amino acids, and pygmy waterlily for immediate improvement in the appearance of skin's tone, texture and firmness.

Key ingredients

Signal Peptides Complex: nine signal peptides (made up of amino acids, which form proteins in the skin) bind moisture to skin plumping, firming, and restoring bounce.

Pygmy Waterlily Stem Cell Extract: an excellent source of antioxidants and nutrients to replenish the skin. This ingredient is extremely moisturising, soothing, calming, and effective in supporting healthy, youthful looking skin.

Soybean Folic acid Ferment Extract: this B Vitamin plays a central role in maintaining youthful, elastic skin. Skin is thirsty for folic acid, especially after exposure to sun.

Acetyl Glutamine: an amino acid that helps soothe and strengthen skin.

Pro-tip

Direct from the brand

Every day, I add protein powder to my smoothie for muscle support. I wanted a different kind of moisturiser that would do the same for my skin. Protini™ was born. Jam-packed with crazy levels of amino acids, signal peptides, and safe, synthetic growth factors (the good kind), this dreamy cream melts right into your skin to make it hydrated, bouncy, and balanced. - Tiffany, Drunk Elephant Founder.
