How to use
Alt-Retinol Paste
BIDENS PILOSA
(Also known as Spanish needles)
A plant extract derived from a relative of the daisy family, Bidens pilosa works by mimicking retinol’s mechanism of action, helping to reduce the appearance of common signs of skin ageing. By adopting similar action to retinol, it targets areas prone to loss of firmness and plumpness, providing impressive results in smoothing the appearance of wrinkles but with minimal side effects.
KIGELIA FRUIT EXTRACT
(Kigelia Africana)
Renowned for its skin-plumping benefits, which leaves skin feeling supple, we responsibly source our organic-certified kigelia fruit extract from Zimbabwe. Here, the supplier’s focus is on generating income for rural communities through the sustainable and equitable harvesting and processing of wild growing plant products.
SHEA BUTTER
(Butyrospermum parkii)
Renowned for its excellent emollient properties and ability to help improve the barrier function of the skin, we source our shea butter from West Africa, where the pulp of the fruit is removed to reveal the kernel, which is boiled and dried in the sun before being shelled for pressing.
CARROT SEED OIL
(Daucus carota sativa)
Rich in ‘carotenoids’, carrot seed oil can help support an even, healthy-looking skin tone and visibly brighten the appearance of skin when applied topically as part of a skincare formula. It’s this ingredient that gives Superskin™ Alt-Retinol Skin Paste a distinctive golden hue.
Aqua (water), Glycerin, Cetearyl alcohol, Vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry) seed oil, Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, Propanediol, Polyglyceryl-6 distearate, Rosa rubiginosa seed oil, Ethylhexyl stearate, Kigelia africana (sausage tree) fruit extract, Alcohol denat., Maltodextrin, Borago officinalis seed oil, Glyceryl stearate, Canola oil, Gossypium herbaceum (cotton) seed oil, Citrus aurantium amara (petitgrain) leaf/twig oil, Lavandula hybrida (lavandin) oil, Anthemis nobilis flower oil, Punica granatum flower extract, Daucus carota sativa (carrot) seed oil, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, Citrus aurantium amara (neroli) flower oil, Tocopherol, Jojoba esters, Astrocaryum murumuru seed butter, Phenoxyethanol, Panthenol, Linum usitatissimum (linseed) seed oil, Cetyl alcohol, Polyglyceryl-3 beeswax, Bidens pilosa extract , Caprylyl glycol, Bisabolol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Linalool, Sodium ascorbyl phosphate, Parfum (fragrance), Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, Daucus carota sativa root extract, Tocopheryl acetate, Geraniol, Limonene, Citric acid, CI 75130 (Beta-carotene).

I received a free sample with other products I had purchased. Found to be excellent and already purchased full size tube of the paste. I am half way through my 80's and still have excellent skin thanks to Liz Earle products.

Great product for lines!
Have started to use about twice a week, easy to apply for overnight- absorbs into skin and doesn’t leave any residue on pillow. Noticed even after first go, that my skin seemed plumper and less visible likes around my eyes. Will continue to use along with the CICA skin paste.

Too thick
I bought this to try as an alternative to my usual superskin overnight mask. I saw no difference and found it too thick for my skin. I'm just going to stick with my original moisturiser from now on.

I really don't like the smell of this product. Reminds me of dying flowers! Have used it for a week and can see no visible difference in my face sadly. I had this as a sample with other products but I would not be tempted to buy it after this trial

I have just been given a free 15ml tube. Was already using anyway.
I like the feel. Put on twice a week before bed. Makes my skin feel plump. In the morning I can still feel that effect. Excellent.

Really plumps skin but I'm sensitive to it!
I used this a couple of times to be sure as I liked the lifting and plumping effects it gave but it does leave me with some itchy bumps so I don't think it works for me! Bit dissapointed as I really wanted it to. I can use the Alt Retinol Boost serum no problem. I use that each night, one drop mixed in with my skin repair cream.

Alt retinol skin paste
I have just started to use this as my skin can be very dry but I don’t like the feel of moisturiser on my skin during the day. This paste is a miracle!!, I put it on before bed and even if I forget about it it is removed when I wash my deface in the morning. My skin is moisturised totally after using the paste twice a week!! And is now evenly toned and looking healthier than ever. Virtually fragrance free and it just works 100%

good result
This was included in a superskin daily routine package. I have extremely sensitive rosacea type 1 skin and cannot use retinol on my face. So I used this paste on my neck. Really good results. Lines are reduced. Skin incredibly soft. Very easy to apply and sinks into skin well. I apply it every night directly after using toner onto slightly damp skin. Like this so much have purchased more.

Received this sample with my order and have used every few days for two weeks. Pleasant to apply but can’t honestly say I notice any difference so far. Perhaps it needs to be used for longer to have any effect.

Decent overnight skincare product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The very few times I did use this, I noticed a difference in the skin's tone, texture and feel. I Think I need to use this more regularly to really notice the difference. A little goes a long way with this paste, it's very thick and feels like vaseline. the smell may bother some people.

I’ve been using this every night for about 2 months - is that ok/can it cause damage ?
Hi, thanks for getting in touch.
Our Superskin Alt-Retinol Skin Paste is a powerful overnight paste, made with highly effective retinol alternative. Leaves skin feeling more supple, refreshing its appearance for a brighter, plumped, radiant-looking complexion, while also refining the look of pores.
We would recommend using this 2 - 3 times a week, and as this does not contain any retinol, this is suitable for continuous use.
We hope this information helps however, should you require any further assistance, we would ask you to kindly contact our Customer Care Centre by calling 01983 813913 or, email naturallyactive@lizearle.com - The Customer Care Centre

Can I use this with a serum that contains salicylic acid?
Hi there, thank you for getting in touch.
We can confirm our Superskin Alt-Retinol Skin Paste uses a plant-based alternative to Retinol, which helps deliver skincare benefits, whilst being gentle on the skin, meaning minimal side effects. After regular use, skin looks more youthful with a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
There is no retinol in our Superskin Alt-Retinol Paste, so the level is 0 and should not interfere with any other skincare products within your routine, including those that contain salicylic acid. However, please note that our Paste has not been tested with products containing salicylic acid as a direct ingredient.
We hope this information helps. - the Liz Earle Customer Care Centre Team.

How long does it last in terms of date of expiry?
Thank you for your question. We can confirm all our products have been tested in accordance with industry standards and show a minimum shelf life of at least thirty six months (3 years).
It may also be helpful to know that on each of our product, you will find the EU standard Period After Opening (PAO) symbol which identifies the 'lifetime' of a product once opened for the first time. It can be used as a guide once your product has been opened. The number inside the image of the pot tells you the number of months of this product's lifetime once opened, for example, 9M indicates 9 months – the shelf life of the Superskin Alt-Retinol Skin Paste is 12 months once opened.
We hope this information helps. Quality and service are at the heart of everything we do, so please do not hesitate to email us at naturallyactive@lizearle.com or call our customer centre on 01983 813913 if we can be of any further assistance. - The Liz Earle Customer Care Centre Team.

Hi I. Does this paste help with pigmentation and sun damage?
This is very good to use after the exfoliating mask also by itself.Your skin looks smoother and clearer.I think it helps with sun damage but I do still have some pigmentation.I use it twice a week because my skin looks clearer and brighter after using it.

So I cleanse, essence lotion, eye cream, moisturiser and then serum. When using the retinol paste would I just cleanse and put it on or would I do my routine as usual and the make the paste my last step? Thanks in advance.
I find this brilliant product works best after using the cleanse and polish, followed by instant boost. I do apply the eye cream as this is around the orbital bone.
I apply the paste in place of any moisturiser or oil overnight, as (for me) works better this way.
It's a 'do all' last night time application

I use retinol serum, would I be able to use your alt paste as well twice a week as I like it’s added benefits or would that be too much
Hi, thanks for getting in touch.
Unfortunately, we're not familiar with other brands, so it's very difficult to advise whether our Superskin Alt-Retinol Skin Paste would be suitable to use alongside your retinol serum. However, this product contains plant based Bidens Pilosa, which mimics the retinol type action and is much gentler on the skin.
As with all our products, we would recommend a patch test first.
We hope this information helps however, should you require any further assistance, we would ask you to kindly contact our Customer Centre by calling 01983 813913, or email naturallyactive@lizearle.com - The Liz Earle Customer Care Centre

Is it non comedogenic (pore blocking) . I have been told to only use non comedogenic products as some immediately cause spots despite cleansing whereas non comedogenic ones don’t . Thank you
Thank you for getting in touch. We can confirm that none of the products in the Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare range have been tested for comedogenicity. However, we believe that one ingredient that could cause a product to be comedogenic is mineral oil and this is not something that is used in our skincare range, as we believe that plant oils are better for the skin. Our Superskin Alt-Retinol Paste is light enough to use 2-3 times a week, please be assured that we have a great returns policy in place, should you find any product unsuitable we would be more than happy for you to return the product for a full refund or exchange even after you've tried it. We hope this helps. -Liz Earle Beauty Co.
