Frequently Asked Questions

Is Alastin Renewal Retinol good for retinol beginners?

Yes, Alastin Renewal Retinol is ideal is you are using retinol for the first time due to its gentle formulation and low-strength retinol. It is designed to minimize irritation while delivering effective anti-aging benefits.

How does Alastin Renewal Retinol compare to SkinCeuticals Retinol?

 While both products are effective, Alastin's retinol is known for being gentler on sensitive skin, thanks to its encapsulated technology. Users often find Alastin much less irritating compared to SkinCeuticals, making it better suited for those new to retinol. However, the Skinceuticals retinol is stronger and may show results faster.

How does Alastin Renewal Retinol compare to Differin Gel (adapalene)?

Alastin is generally gentler, more moisturizing, and is a weaker retinoid than Differin Gel, which is stronger and primarily aimed at acne treatment. Alastin is better for those who are new to retinol or have sensitive skin.

How does Alastin Renewal Retinol compare to SkinMedica Retinol?

Alastin Renewal Retinol and SkinMedica Retinol both target skin texture improvement and anti-aging, but they vary in strength and formulation. Alastin is a gentler option, ideal for beginners or sensitive skin, using encapsulated retinol for a slow, controlled release to minimize irritation. Its formulation also includes soothing agents like oat extract, making it less likely to cause redness or dryness.SkinMedica, available in 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1.0% strengths, is more potent, offering faster results but with a higher risk of irritation, particularly for those new to retinol. SkinMedica is better suited for those experienced with retinoids seeking more dramatic anti-aging effects, while Alastin provides a gentler experience for those prioritizing gradual improvements with less irritation.

Can Alastin Renewal Retinol be used every night?

For beginners, it's recommended to start by using it every 3rd-4th night and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin builds tolerance.

Does Alastin Renewal Retinol help with acne?

While primarily designed for anti-aging, all retinoids can help unclog pores and improve acne. Retinol is not as effective as prescription retinoids.

How quickly will I see results with Alastin Renewal Retinol?

You will get the fastest results if you use this retinoid with a complete custom skin care routine that is right for your skin type. Clogged pores and acne breakouts usually improve in 8 weeks, skin pigmentation can take 12-16 weeks to improve, and wrinkles may take 6 or more months to see a difference. A correct and consistent routine is critical for faster results.

Is Alastin Renewal Retinol better for sensitive skin than Paula’s Choice 1%
Retinol?

vitamin C?
