It is clinically shown to increase firmness in 8 out of 10 people. Protini is formulated with 9 signal peptides, which are powerful active ingredients that help skin look firmer and smoother by supporting the natural production of collagen, keeping skin strong and elastic. They work by communicating with your skin cells, encouraging them to produce more of the collagen that skin needs to maintain a youthful appearance, while also protecting against collagen loss. The result is stronger, younger- looking skin that's more resistant to aging. It delivers daily moisture in a lightweight gel-cream, visibly firms skin, restoring bounce, and improves the appearance of skin's texture and tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. It is clinically proven to reduce lines and wrinkles; improve skin's firmness, texture, and tone; and increase skin's hydration. 96% showed improvement in skin's tone, radiance, and luminosity, 93% showed improvement in texture, and 90% showed improvement in skin's hydration. Consumer testing results show 100% agreed their skin felt replenished and nourished, 97% agreed their skin felt moisturized and their skin texture felt soft and smooth, 88% agreed their skin was strengthened, 85% agreed their skin looked plumped and youthful, and 73% agreed their skin felt firmer and elastic.

Troubleshooting
Product is not dispensing properly from the refill.
Ensure the refill cartridge is correctly seated and clicked into place within the outer jar. Check for any obstructions or air bubbles, and pump a few times to prime the dispenser.
Skin feels sticky or not fully absorbed after application.
Ensure your skin is clean and dry before applying. Use a pea-sized amount and gently pat or press into the skin rather than rubbing vigorously. Allow a minute or two for full absorption before applying subsequent products.
Experiencing mild redness or tingling after first use.
This product contains active ingredients. While generally well-tolerated, sensitive skin might react initially. Reduce usage to once a day (e.g., evenings only) for the first week, then gradually increase to twice daily. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Not seeing desired results as quickly as expected.
Consistency is key for skincare products. Use the cream daily, day and night, for at least 4-8 weeks, as indicated in clinical studies. Ensure your overall skincare routine supports healthy skin (e.g., proper cleansing, sun protection).
