Key ingredients
Soothing antiaging ingredient that gives cells energy. Help prevent recurrence of dark spots and unwanted skin pigment.
Attracts water, giving cells and skin volume. Plays a key role in cell signals and other vital processes. It cushions the skin, providing resilience and firmness. This moisturizing humectant temporarily plumps fine lines and wrinkles. HA makes skin feel dewy and look radiant and glowing. Great for oily skin because it feels lightweight and non-greasy on the skin. Safe for all skin types. HA helps other skincare products get into the skin. This antiaging and hydrating ingredient can radically alter how your skin routine works by affecting penetration and absorption of other ingredients- so make sure you use it in the correct step of your skin care routine.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is one of the peptides in Alastin's Tri-Hex technology. It mimics a collagen fragment, signaling fibroblasts to stimulate collagen production, particularly types I and III. By binding to fibroblast receptors, it enhances extracellular matrix components, supporting skin repair. This leads to improved skin strength and reduced wrinkles and fine lines. This ingredient gives skin a temporary firm feeling that people love. It has a molecular weight of approximately 500 to 800 Daltons (Da) depending on formulation. If it is larger than 500 Da, it does not penetrate as well.
Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside
Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside (EGCGG), a stabilized derivative of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea, is known for its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It works by neutralizing free radicals and protecting skin cells from oxidative stress caused by environmental aggressors, such as UV radiation and pollution. EGCGG is used in skincare to reduce inflammation, soothe irritated skin, and prevent premature aging. The added glucose component enhances its stability, making it more stable than EGCG (green tea extract) in skin care.
Gallyl Glucoside
Gallyl Glucoside, a derivative of gallic acid and glucose, is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It works by neutralizing free radicals and protecting the skin from oxidative stress, which can lead to premature aging and damage. Gallyl Glucoside is used in skincare to enhance skin barrier function, reduce redness, and promote an even complexion. It may also support skin hydration and soothe irritation, resulting in improved skin resilience and a healthier appearance.
Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract
**Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract**, derived from the bark of the Persian silk tree, possesses potent antioxidant and anti-glycation properties. It works by protecting skin cells from oxidative stress and inhibiting the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which can accelerate skin aging. Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract is commonly used to reduce signs of fatigue, such as dark circles and puffiness, and to improve skin firmness. Additionally, it helps restore skin radiance and smoothness, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Darutoside
Darutoside, extracted from Siegesbeckia orientalis, promotes skin repair and collagen production by activating TGF-β (Transforming Growth Factor-beta), which stimulates fibroblasts to produce type I and III collagen. These collagens are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Additionally, Darutoside enhances the synthesis of extracellular matrix (ECM) components like fibronectin and elastin, further supporting tissue regeneration. This activity strengthens the skin’s structure, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, and improve overall skin firmness.
Ornithine
Ornithine, an amino acid derived from the urea cycle, is used in skincare for its regenerative and anti-aging properties. It helps promote collagen production and supports skin elasticity, making it effective in firming and smoothing the skin. Ornithine also aids in wound healing and cellular repair by stimulating the skin’s natural regeneration processes. Its ability to enhance skin structure leads to improved texture and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, ornithine has been shown to support hair growth by stimulating hair follicles and extending the anagen phase of the hair cycle.
Glycerin (Glycerol) is the best natural moisturizing ingredient to hydrate skin quickly. May give products a sticky feel.
Hydrogenated face oil that is more stable than squalene found in sebum.
Glyceryl Stearate
A combination of glycerin and stearic acid to hydrate skin. A humectant and occlusive moisturizer.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Combination of hydrating coconut oil and glycerin to moisturize skin.

Answered by Dr. Leslie Baumann, MD, FAAD · Miami, FL · 200+ partner practices
This treatment uses a combination of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1,
which coats the skin for an instant firming and anti-puffiness effect that
helps reduce eye bags. Niacinamide brightens the under-eye area by reducing
redness and dark circles, while Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside, a potent
antioxidant derived from green tea, helps protect the skin. It also hydrates
with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and phospholipids to keep the delicate
eye area smooth and moisturized.
Yes, this antiaging eye cream is an excellent choice for men
because it has a lightweight texture, is non-greasy, absorbs quickly, and does not
feel heavy on the skin.
The eye treatment is powered by TriHex Technology®, which
helps to boost the skin’s natural production of collagen making skin stronger
and less wrinkled. Humectants like hyaluronic acid help plump away fine lines. Combine
this with a low strength retinol at night and an exosome or growth factor eye
cream to boost results. Look at the eye serums and crams from Plated
SkinScience, SkinMedica and Neocutis to compliment this Alastin Eye Cream.
Yes, most users find that it works well under makeup, as it
absorbs quickly and doesn’t pill. If you apply too much or don't allow it to
fully absorb, it might lead to slight pilling under makeup. Light layers are
recommended for the best results.
Yes, it is formulated to be gentle and is safe for sensitive
skin types. The peptides and antioxidants help reduce irritation, and the lack
of harsh ingredients makes it suitable even for delicate skin around the eyes.
It is fragrance-free, making it ideal for those who are sensitive to added
scents.
Yes, users with peeling from retinoids like tretinoin or
adapalene found that Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment helps calm the skin
while providing hydration to reduce flakiness. Its soothing ingredients like
niacinamide and humectants like hyaluronic acid make it a good companion to
retinoid treatments.
Use it in both your morning and evening routines after
cleansing and before moisturizing.
Many users report seeing noticeable improvements in dryness immediately
due to hydrating hyaluronic acid and smoothing and firming peptides. For fine
lines, users report improvement after about 4 to 6 weeks of regular use.
It's suitable for all skin types, especially dry, mature,
and sensitive skin. It is designed to address concerns like puffiness, dark
circles, and fine lines, which are common for many skin types.

Treatment, are cruelty-free and never tested on animals.
