What it is and what it does
Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is a deeply hydrating, replenishing formula designed for those with dry, sensitive skin. This moisturizer works in harmony with your skin, soothing irritation and replenishing moisture levels to leave your complexion feeling soft, calm, and comfortable. Ideal for dry or environmentally stressed skin, it also offers essential support against environmental damage, helping to protect your skin from the harmful effects of pollutants and daily stressors.
This product’s benefits go beyond just hydration. It also has TriHex Technology® that helps improve the appearance of aging skin and revitalize dry, dull skin. It locks in moisture and helps any serums underneath it absorb better without clogging pores.
This top selling face moisturizer is packed with antioxidants to boost your skin's natural defenses to protect from environmental stress and promote long-term skin health. Botanicals work to calm and nourish, making it suitable for dry, sensitive, or mature skin.
Gentle enough for sensitive skin yet powerful enough for those with severe dryness, this moisturizer is ideal for anyone seeking a dermatologist-recommended, medical-grade face cream for dry, compromised skin.

Questions about this product
Answered by Dr. Leslie Baumann, MD, FAAD · Miami, FL · 200+ partner practices
Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is best for dry skin,
providing deep, rich hydration with a dewy finish. On the other hand, Alastin
Ultra Light Moisturizer is ideal for oily skin, offering lightweight moisture
and a silky, matte look. Both are noncomedogenic, fragrance-free, and contain
dimethicone, making them suitable for a variety of skin types.
Absolutely. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, making
it an excellent base for makeup without pilling or feeling greasy.
Yes, it’s formulated for sensitive skin. Its calming
botanicals and gentle ingredients work to soothe irritation and redness without
causing breakouts or clogged pores. It is free of parabens, formaldehyde and
fragrance. It does have a small amount of phenoxyethanol that can irritate some
very dry, sensitive skin types.
Can I use this Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer I have
acne-prone skin?
Yes, it’s noncomedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores,
making it safe for acne-prone skin. Pair it with acne products for best
results.
This product has been shown to be hypoallergenic in skin
testing, however it is still possible to have an allergic reaction. It is
uncommon, but some people are allergic to the rosemary extract. If you are
allergic to ragweed or plants in the Daisy family, you may react to bisabolol
in this product.
No, this moisturizer is fragrance-free, making it ideal for
those sensitive to scents.
Will Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer help with redness
or irritation?
Its soothing ingredients help calm irritation and redness,
making it a great option for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. However, it is
not as effective as some anti-redness serums, oils, or creams such as PAORR Argan
oil, Zerafite Soothing and Calming Cream or Derma Made Azelaic Acid Cream that was
developed t treat facial redness.
No, it absorbs well without leaving a sticky or greasy
residue, providing a smooth, soft finish that many reviewers describe as
non-tacky.
Yes, it’s great for mature skin, as it supports the
production of collagen, improving skin firmness and texture over time. You will
have faster results if you pair this in a custom routine for your Baumann Skin
type that may include a retinol, Vitamin C serum, growth factor serum, or
exosome serum. If you are a women going through menopause, read our blog on
menopause skin care for more specific advice.
This moisturizer can help promote collagen, but to
significantly improve skin texture and firmness, it should be paired with a
retinol and other products that work synergistically such as sunscreens, Vitamin
C serums, growth factors, and exosomes.
For best results, use it twice daily, in the morning and
evening, as part of your regular skincare routine.
The best way to know what products to use is to take out
quiz and use our dermatologist-developed skin care routine builder because there
are 8 different types of dry skin. But in general, the best morning Alastin
skin care regime for dry skin is the Ultra Calm Cleansing Cream, a serum or the
Restorative Skin Complex to target any underlying issues, Ultra Nourishing
Moisturizer followed by the Alastin Hydra Tint SPF. For your night routine, instead of SPF, use the
Alastin Renewal Retinol.
Do I use the Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer before or after my
retinol?
It depends on your skin type and how long you’ve been using retinol. If you're
new to retinol or increasing the strength, apply the moisturizer first to
minimize irritation. For more resistant skin types or if you’ve been using
retinol without side effects, apply the moisturizer on top of the retinol for
added hydration.
