Skin is left feeling firmer and looking rejuvenated.

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

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!

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.

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.

Great booster for dry sensitive skin
I've used this product as a weekly booster for ages. It gives a lovely feel and plumps my skin without feeling greasy. I use it after I've had a shower and let it sink in before using serum and moisturiser.

Help for fine lines.
A lovely product for fine lines. I one drop under my moisturiser, each morning, although it can also be dropped into the moisturiser. I would say I have seen a difference in my skin since beginning to use.

Hi can I use the alt-retinol during summer time as well? Can I use in vitamin c in the night and the serum during the day or it is too strong?
Hi there, thanks for getting in touch.
We knew that many of our customers were interested in the idea of retinol but were worried about the well-documented irritating side effects. As a botanical brand, we made it our mission to create a cruelty free, naturally derived gentle alternative, harnessing botanical ingredients that mimic the skin smoothing benefits while also being suitable for sensitive skin. With its youthful-looking results Alt-Retinol was a perfect fit for our pro-ageing Superskin™ range; helping support your skin at every age and life stage.
As our Alt-Retinol products do not contain retinol, they can be used all year round and in conjunction with the rest of your skincare regime.
We do hope this helps. - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

Can I use hyaluronic acid after the drops and before moisturiser?
Hi there, thanks for getting in touch.
We haven't tested our products for use alongside hyaluronic acid, however, our Alt-Retinol products are suitable for all skin types, even sensitive. Both products are formulated with natural retinol alternatives and designed to be gentle on the skin - just like our moisturisers.
I do hope this helps! - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

If I could only afford one of your alt-retionol products, would you recommend the paste or the booster for noticeable forehead lines? I'm in my mid thirties. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for getting in touch!
Our Superskin Alt-Retinol duo are both fab products! Our Alt-Retinol Booster is water-based and so will sink deeper into surface skin like a serum, to help tackle those deeper lines and wrinkles and should be applied prior to moisturiser. Our Alt-Retinol Skin Paste is a thicker overnight formulation that works on the upper layers of your skin really helping to plump and firm the skin.
It might help you to know, that our Alt-Retinol duo are the complimentary gifts you would receive with this months Daily Routine Offer https://www.lizearle.com/offers/shop-all/MOCKSEP21SSM.html
I hope this information helps however, if you do require any further assistance, please reach out to our Customer Centre by calling 01983 813913 or email naturallyactive@lizearle.com

I usually use your botanical camping drops, after cleanser, tonic and before superskin moisturiser. Would this replace or could I use both? Thank you
I use both Love these products
I use the paste overnight

Which product would I be able to use on wrinkles around my eyes and on my eyelids please?
I use a little of the retinol serum at night. In the morning I mix a drop with my super skin moisturiser and apply all over face
Date published: 2021-07-13
I use the the Retinol Booster every morning before my usual serum and moisturiser routine. At night I always use the Superskin Concentrate and add the Booster a few minutes beforehand allowing it to be absorbed.. Is this the correct procedure?
I follow the same routine as you indicate and have to say the Retinol Booster seems to be working really well. I have had a dry patch on my forehead for ages and use of the Booster is reducing the dry patch. At night I use my rich cream moisturiser with two drops of booster added. Of course everyone soon is different it what feel right for you.

What product is good for upper lip wrinkles? I use cleanse and polish, toner and moisturiser.
Hi. thanks for getting in touch.
Our new Alt-Retinol Booster Drops will certainly help with this. Powered by plants, this product does not contain retinol, so is gentle on the skin whilst helping with the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles. This can be used daily as part of your routine. Apply 2 - 3 drops after you've cleansed and toned, before you moisturise. Just avoid the delicate eye area. Also, as with all our products, please carry out a patch test first. I hope this helps, but should you require any further assistance, please contact our Customer Centre by calling 01983 813913, or email naturallyactive@lizearle.com - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

Currently I use a toner, face serum and the superskin concentrate oil at night. Where/how would the alt-retinol booster fit into my current routine?
Hello, thank you for getting in touch.
Our Superskin Face Serum is a firm favourite for helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and our new Superskin Alt-Retinol Booster is the perfect addition to your skincare routine if you have noticed deeper lines and wrinkles. Our Superskin Alt-Retinol Booster can be used daily, by either applying 1-2 drops to clean, dry skin (after cleansing and toning) for a more targeted treatment, or it can also be mixed into your chosen moisturiser.
Additionally, where this product is water based, like our Superskin Face Serum, you could use these as a combination to feel the full benefit of the Stevia which mimics a retinol-like action in our booster, as well as collagen boosting pomegranate flower extract which is included in our Face Serum, making this a great dynamic duo tackling both fine and deeper lines. (Cleanse, tone, booster, face serum - or mix serum and booster, followed by your chosen moisturiser).
Alternatively, you can opt to use the Alt-Retinol Booster within your morning skincare routine, and we would recommend using the Superskin concentrate at night only. The water-based element of the Booster makes them tricky to mix together.

With the alt-retinol products, do you need to wear sun protection like normal retinol?
Hello, thank you for getting in touch.
We recommend wearing an SPF product every day all year round (our Environmental Defence Cream Mineral SPF 25 is great for providing everyday protection). However, our Alt-Retinol range does not increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun like some traditional retinols, so it is not absolutely required.

Can i use this product on my neck as well as my face?
Hello, thank you for getting in touch.
Yes, you can most certainly apply the Superskin Alt-Retinol Booster on your face, neck and décolletage area. We would recommend to apply onto clean dry skin (after cleaning and toning) and you can use the booster in two ways.
Use alone: Apply directly to any area showing signs of ageing for targeted results- Apply 1-2 drops into your hands, warm and smooth over the skin avoiding the eye area, then apply your moisturiser.
Mix it: Mix 1-2 drops into your moisturiser and massage into the skin, avoiding the eye area.
I do hope this information helps. – Liz Earle Beauty Co.

Is this suitable for skin with Roseacea?
Hello, thank you for getting in touch. I can confirm our Superskin Alt-Retinol Booster containing gentle retinol alternatives that mimic retinol-like action while being kind to the skin, making it suitable for even sensitive. However, whilst we do have a number of customers with skin conditions such as Rosacea commenting positive results, our products are not intended for medical use. There are no guarantees our range will suit everyone, as we don’t know what ingredients your skin may be sensitive to. Therefore we would highly recommend carrying out patch test the products before use, to make sure they are suitable for your skin. A small amount should be applied close to the area of intended use (behind the ear is ideal in this instance). If this product is not suitable for use, then you should immediately discontinue use and get in touch with us.

How much retinol does the product contain as I’m worried my skin will react bad
Hello, thank you for getting in touch.
I can confirm there is no retinol in our Superskin Alt-Retinol Booster or Superskin Alt-Retinol Overnight Paste, so the level is 0%. However, our formulations containing gentle retinol alternatives that mimic retinol-like action while being kind to the skin, making them both suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.
Please be assured all of our products are formulated to be as mild and gentle as possible; however, we would always recommend you carry out a patch test prior to using any new skincare product for the first time. A small amount should be applied close to the area of intended use (behind the ear is ideal in this instance). Please be assured we have generous returns policy. If for any reason your purchase is not suitable for your use or you do not like, we are happy to exchange or refund within 60 days of you receiving your order, even after you've tried it. We feel this is beneficial to our customers as it gives you the opportunity to try the product for some time to decide if it is suitable for you before committing to your purchase.

How would this fit into my routine with the superskin serum? Should I expect to see better results than with superskin serum and superskin moisturiser? I’m 51 years of age with combination skin starting to have a few deeper lines and slackening.
Thank you for your question.
Superskin Face Serum is a firm favourite for helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and our new Superskin Alt-Retinol Booster is the perfect addition to your skincare routine if you have noticed deeper lines and wrinkles. We have used Stevia, grown in the Bordeaux region of France, as this mimics a retinol-like action, helping to minimise the appearance of wrinkles, for younger-looking skin. Combined with one of our favourite ingredients Kigelia, which is also found in our new Alt-Retinol Overnight Paste, and Elderberry Extract, this beautiful booster drop helps to brighten the skin and improve skin tone too. This product can be used daily, by either applying 1-2 drops to clean, dry skin for amore targeted treatment or alternatively it can also be mixed into your chosen moisturiser.
As this product is water based, like our Superskin Face Serum, you could use these as a combination to feel the full benefit of the Stevia as well as the pomegranate flower extract, tackling both your fine and deeper lines.
