Beauty Tips For Body Care
Alright, my friends. Ever since that blasted Sephora birthday gift we all got, I've grudgingly fallen in love with stupid Drunk Elephant's stupid Protini. It's instantly plumping and I am a sucker for the gel texture. But I refuse to spend $70 on 1.7oz of moisturizer. It's been sitting in my cart for two months. I just can't do it.So like any well-adjusted not-so-young lady with eclectic interests, I've spent an undisclosed amount of my free time staring at skincare ingredients online, hoping to find something that might compare, but for a humane amount of money. AND I THINK I MAY HAVE FOUND IT.BEHOLD. Thanks to whomever it was on this sub who recommended the Acure line. The Radically Rejuvenating Whipped Night Cream was all of $15 at Target.Take a look at this ingredient comparison. Obviously it's not a perfect match, but I haven't been able to find anything better than this. Both have that sweet peptide complex, and the Acure also has Vitamin C, ferulic acid, and (somewhat ironically for Drunk Elephant) marula oil.The bad news is texture. I don't mind it, but it's not a gel. Here's a side by side comparison (Protini is on the right -- excuse the weird angle, my camera was cranky about focusing on the globs). And here it is not quite rubbed in; you can see that it doesn't sink in very quickly and is much thicker/heavier. I'd compare it to The Ordinary's NMF. Maybe a little bit heavier than that.But! It does have the same immediate plumping effect on my face. My skin feels velvety soft after, and for much longer than the DE. It's definitely more of a night cream, but that's how it's advertised, so I'm not mad about it.For a texture dupe, I've heard that the CeraVe PM lotion is very similar, and while it doesn't have the peptides, it does have excellent ingredients and doesn't break the bank.I think this has staved off my obsession for the time being. Hopefully it helps somebody else.
