About this paste

Smoothes and visibly transforms the appearance of skin. Our luxurious overnight paste leaves skin feeling more supple, refreshing its appearance for a brighter, plumped, radiant-looking complexion, while also refining the look of pores.

 

This powerful blend is enriched with Bidens pilosa, a plant-based alternative to retinol that works by mimicking retinol’s mechanism of action to smooth the appearance of deeper lines and wrinkles whilst being kind to the skin.

 

The formula also contains kigelia fruit extract, shea butter and hyaluronic acid for up to 48 hours of moisturisation, leaving skin feeling nourished and hydrated.

Alt-Retinol Paste The Results

Alt-Retinol Paste The Results

Bidens Pilosa

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 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

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

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing product I had a sample of this, I went back to buy the full size of this product and the ladies told me it is now discontinued! I am GUTTED. This stuff is amazing. My skin has never looked better with using it, it's so soft, glowy and has cleared any small spots that try to make an appearance!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love it Absolutely love this. Leave my skin feeling very soft and smooth. I have sensitive/ dry skin. Only set back is it comes in metal tube, which splits as you get near to the end.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from AMAZING a must have for anyone with sensitive skin In the past I've tried several premium retinol products, and each one has caused irritation beyond the usual, initial dryness. I’m prone to eczema so was very careful in trying retinols but gave up as my skin seemed happier when left alone from strong active ingredients. I am 54 with what I think is pretty good skin (thanks to my Liz Earle Superskin regime!) but have started to notice a few more fine lines here and there so thought now was the time to try this Alt-Retinol product. One word: AMAZING! I have used this for 10 days (applied every 2 – 3 nights on its own after cleansing and toning) and when I wake up my skin looks so much plumper and sleep marks (despite silk pillowcases) are less prominent to the point where I can hardly see them. When applied, it looks a bit matte and waxy, but that’s OK as it’s bedtime! In the morning the waxy look has disappeared just leaving really happy looking, healthy skin. I’ve experienced no irritation and am so happy with the results I am tempted to use it more frequently but will stick to the rules. I strongly recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin who feels left behind in the Retinol race.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent, especially for mature skin I use this product three times a week - Monday, Wednesday and Friday - and I love the way it is completely absorbed and leaves my skin soft. Don't need much so it lasts.
Date published: 2024-10-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very efficient I have been using this for a long time. I find it invaluable for refining my pores. It appears expensive but since it only has to be used 2-3 times a week it's not so bad.
