My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Polypeptide Cream from Drunk Elephant is primarily intended for skin in need of firmness, elasticity, and anti-aging benefits. Its formula targets the signs of aging, particularly wrinkles, loss of tone, and dehydration. My expert opinion is that this cream is part of a comprehensive anti-aging skincare approach, thanks to a synergy of innovative and biomimetic active ingredients, while respecting the skin's balance.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three asset classes stand out in this formula:

• Polypeptides and epidermal growth factors These molecules, such as SH-Oligopeptide-1 and copper polypeptides, stimulate collagen and elastin production, promoting cell regeneration and tissue repair. Their biomimetic action improves skin density and firmness.
• Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) : A powerful moisturizer, it retains water in the dermis, plumps the skin, and visibly reduces dehydration wrinkles.
• Marula oil Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, it nourishes and protects the skin barrier, leaving it soft without feeling greasy.

The presence of amino acids and vitamin E complements the repairing and antioxidant action, enhancing the overall quality of the product.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this cream morning and/or evening to clean skin, after serum. It fits perfectly into an anti-aging routine, working in synergy with moisturizing active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, ceramides). I avoid combining it with highly exfoliating products (AHA/BHA) to preserve the integrity of the peptides. Compatible with vitamin C in the morning and retinol in the evening (alternating).

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Drunk Elephant's Polypeptide Cream stands out for its high concentration of peptides and biomimetic active ingredients, offering an effective solution for mature skin or for preventing signs of aging. Its creamy, non-greasy texture and lack of strong fragrance make it suitable for sensitive skin. The only possible downside is its high price, which is justified by the technical sophistication of the formula. My medical opinion: an excellent choice for revitalizing and strengthening the skin on a daily basis.
