Anyone wanting Protini's exact signal-peptide block plus…
Acure Radically Rejuvenating Whipped Night Cream
Acure's brand page describes it as a 'lightweight, whipped texture' that absorbs easily for overnight use; some third-party reviewers call it slightly thicker than Protini's gel-cream, but the brand itself does not call it heavy. It is named and positioned for nighttime use (and contains salicylic + glycolic/lactic acid copolymer), whereas Protini is an anytime firming moisturizer.
Pros
- ✓ Verified same nine-peptide complex and shared botanicals as Protini, not just 'similar peptides'
- ✓ Roughly 70 percent cheaper than Protini ($21.99 vs $72) for the same 50 ml size
- ✓ Adds ferulic acid and ascorbic glucoside (vitamin C derivative) as antioxidants
- ✓ Comparable 1.7 oz / 50 ml size to Protini's 1.69 oz / 50 ml
Cons
- · Lacks Protini's free amino-acid complex and Bacillus/Folic Acid Ferment Extract
- · Contains salicylic acid and a lactic/glycolic acid copolymer, so it is a different night-only format than a daytime gel-cream
- · No vitamin E (tocopherol), which Protini does contain (verified on both INCI lists)
- · Positioned and named as a night cream rather than an anytime moisturizer
