Drunk Elephant Protini Powerpeptide Resurf Serum 30 ml — 10% lactic acid & peptides for gentle daily exfoliation

Drunk Elephant Protini Powerpeptide Resurf Serum is a daily 10% lactic acid serum blended with peptides to gently exfoliate, hydrate, and visibly firm skin for a smoother, more radiant complexion.

This lightweight resurfacing serum combines a mild AHA (lactic acid) with a peptide complex to support the look of skin renewal without heavy irritation. Designed for routine use, it targets surface texture and dullness while helping maintain hydration; the formula is free of essential oils, silicones, and fragrance and follows Drunk Elephant’s clean, skin-first philosophy.

How does this serum refine texture without harshness?

The product uses 10% lactic acid, a water-attracting AHA known for a gentler exfoliation than stronger acids. Lactic acid helps loosen bonds between dead skin cells to promote sloughing and smoother skin surface while minimizing the sting some stronger AHAs can cause.

• 10% lactic acid provides mild, daily exfoliation
• Hydrating properties reduce tightness after use
• Formulated at skin-friendly pH to limit irritation

What role do peptides play in this formula?

A targeted peptide complex signals skin-surface renewal and supports moisture retention to help skin appear firmer and more resilient. Peptides in the serum work alongside the exfoliant to help maintain a balanced, renewed look rather than only removing cells.

• Signal peptides that promote surface renewal
• Moisture-binding peptides help plump fine texture
• Works synergistically with lactic acid for smoother results

How should I incorporate it into my daily skincare routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin once daily—morning or evening—avoiding the eye area. Shake gently before use, and you can layer it under your moisturizer or mix it with a Drunk Elephant cream to customize hydration; always follow with SPF during daytime use.

• Shake before use, then apply to face, chest, or hands
• Avoid the immediate eye area and open wounds
• Follow with moisturizer and daytime SPF for protection

Is this suitable for sensitive or AHA-new users?

Because lactic acid is generally milder and more hydrating than other AHAs, this serum is a popular choice for those new to chemical exfoliation or with sensitized skin. Start with less frequent application and increase as tolerance builds to gauge response.

• Recommended starting use: every other day, then increase
• Less likely to cause dryness due to hydrating AHA
• Free of fragrance, essential oils, and silicones to reduce triggers

Who is this for: This serum is aimed at anyone seeking a gentle daily exfoliant that also supports visible firmness and hydration—ideal for people concerned with uneven texture, early signs of aging, or dullness who prefer clean formulations. It suits beginners to chemical exfoliants and those who avoid fragrances and the Suspicious 6 ingredient categories, and it can be used on face, chest, and the backs of hands as part of a balanced skincare regimen.
