Superskin™ Alt-Retinol Booster 15ml

About these drops

Targets the appearance of lines and wrinkles for more youthful-looking skin. Our lightweight gel drops renew the appearance of the skin’s surface for a less fatigued, refreshed and more radiant looking complexion.

 

This powerful blend is enriched with stevia, a plant-based alternative to retinol that works by mimicking retinol’s mechanism of action whilst being kind to the skin, alongside elderberry extract used for its natural antioxidant properties, to help reduce the appearance of deeper lines and wrinkles. Skin is left feeling firmer and looking rejuvenated.

 

Not sure what our plant-based retinol alternative can do for your skin? Discover what retinol is and how our naturally derived ingredients can work similar magic without the side effects.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Bit Runny When i first used it, seemed to have a strange smell, but after a few uses either disappeared or i got use to it. It is a bit runny. I use it during my night time routine. Early days, no major problems. Each to their own

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product! I bought this a few weeks ago as I was looking for a natural alternative to retinol. I absolutely love how it feels on my skin! I mix one pipette drop to the Skin Repair Light Cream and leave overnight. My skin feels so much softer and fresh with the addition of the booster. Would definitely recommend. Only downside is the product bottle is very small, so not sure how long it will last but as I have quite sensitive skin using one drop with the skin repair cream goes a long way!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My favourite booster I discovered this product 2 years ago and continue to buy it whenever I can, as it gives my skin that boost needed to hold back fine and deep lines. It works so much gentler than retinol, without the disadvantages. I will continue to use it on its own or mixed in with my moisturiser.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth I added this to my morning moisturiser routine, and it has improved the feel of my facial skin. It feels smoother, and I think not so patchy- looking.

Since using the superskin alt retinol booster the blackheads on my nose are more prominent and popping out. Do I need to stop using this, advice is gratefully appreciated, thanks 

Asked by: annie330
Hi, I love this alt retinol booster. It has made such a difference to my skin. I am a little prone to blackheads on my nose at times so I don’t use this on my nose at all and I’m very sparing with moisturiser too. Hope this helps you 💖

I’ve mixed the Alt-Retinol Booster with Revitalise & Glow over summer but now want to incorporate the Superskin Face Serum into my routine. Can I mix the booster with the serum, or do I need to stick to mixing it with moisturiser?

Hi can I use this at night with the concentrate oil aswell 

Asked by: Yass
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Our Superskin Alt-Retinol Booster can be used along side our Superskin Concentrate for Night. You would apply the Superskin Alt-Retinol Booster after your cleanser and tonic, but before the Superskin Concentrate for Night. We hope this information helps - The Customer Care Centre Team
