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.

ELDERBERRY EXTRACT

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Essential Just bought my first replacement bottle. A drop of the booster transforms my moisturiser.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Attractive bottle. On it’s own, I found this product made my skin feel a little too tight so much preferred using it added to my Liz Earle moisturiser. This made them both glide on easily and my skin feel nourished.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing results Been using alt.retinol for over two months now, blending one drop of it with a little Liz Earle light moisturiser in the palm of my hand . Swept it all over my face and what a difference in the softness of the skin (mature in my case). Wouldn’t be without it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Noticeable difference I’m on my second bottle! I found an improvement on my forehead lines, as well as eye lines after about 4 weeks use. I find the dropper frustrating when getting to the end of the bottle, ended up tipping the dregs out which was then a bit wasteful when too much came out. Because of the green bottle, it’s very difficult to see what is left. Could also do with a larger size pack if I’m going to get through it this quickly.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Easy to use This does seem to moisturise but I don’t feel the obvious benefit I’d get from a serum. It doesn’t soften my skin and I haven’t noticed any obvious difference. That said, perhaps results accumulate over time. I shall persevere and finish the bottle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Anti Aging Without The Irritation! I received this as part of a free introductory set and I'm so glad that I did. I've used it for 2 or 3 weeks now mixing a drop with my skin repair cream at night. It's great, I have very sensitive maturing skin that loves to play up but with this I've had no problems at all. It helps my skin feel more plump and firm and I'm sure that my lines are softened because of it. Surprised but very happy, thank you.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not for me This product makes the skin around my eyes feel tight, it's wonderful for a few seconds before it dries but then a disappointment. Just like another reviewer, some things are best left perfect and not changed for the worse...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Luxury booster I use one or two drops booster drops mixed with superskin moisturiser (with neroli) as part of my Liz Earle evening skin care routine. This luxurious mix makes my skin feel so nice with a healthy glow.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product I use the Botanical drops and needed to re-stock, I wanted to try the new drops with the Retinol. I am very pleased, the drops certainly have improved the look of my skin and as I suffer from whiteheads and bumps they appear to be reducing. The only negative is that it gets a little difficult to extract the drops with the palette when nearing the end of the bottle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This booster is amazing! I bought the Superskin Alt- Retinol booster recently together with my usual daily routine with skin repair which also included the Superskin Alt-Retinol skin paste for a great price. What can I say? This booster is amazing. I have tried numerous products over the years professing to turn back time and improve skin wrinkles to no avail. This is awesome. You gently apply it to the problem areas and it dries quite quickly as you apply it leaving your skin feeling like it’s had a facelift! Admittedly it doesn’t remove all wrinkles but I have lots and it’s dramatically changed the look of my skin so it looks smoother and more healthier. Can’t recommend this product highly enough. If I’m doubt try it and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Little drops of magic! I am very sceptical about products with great anti-ageing claims but the first time I used this I saw a visible difference and had to do a double-take when I looked in the mirror! I have a deep frown line that really bugs me; popped some alt-retinol on it and had overnight results … I could hardly see it in he morning! My new favourite product!
Date published: 2021-09-25
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Really don't like it It's not what i was expecting. You need to put a lot on and it dries really quickly so you have to put some more on the places where it didn't reach in time and it has no smell. But if that's what it says on the packet then its just me and i wont be buying it again and i feel it was a waste of money.

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, i mixed the booster with the serum, I preferred the texture of the two mixed together, I found it easier to massage into my skin without dragging it

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

Does the retinol booster/paste help with acne or acne scarring?

Asked by: Bec07
Hello, thank you for getting in touch. Our Superskin Alt-Retinol products have not been designed to help with pigmentation or scarring, and instead to help with lines, wrinkles and refine pores. It may help to know that Rosehip Oil has visibly regenerative properties. It’s the most effective plant oil for skin repair and restoration. Clinical studies have proven its ability to soften scars, reduce 'age' pigmentation spots and patches and improve the appearance of fine surface lines. You may wish to use our Superskin concentrate for Night 2-3 times a week. This is 100% pure plant oils and is a rich, restoring night-time treat for all skin types. It contains softening argan and rosehip oils, soothing neroli, lavender and chamomile essential oils plus antioxidant natural source Vitamin E. You can read more about it here: https://www.lizearle.com/skincare/shop-by-collection/superskin/F33302.html . We would also recommend CICA Restore Skin Paste which contains the plant CICA known for its restorative properties, to help with redness and scarring, you can read more about it here: https://www.lizearle.com/skincare/our-range/exfoliator-and-masks/F33365.html . We hope this information helps. – The Liz Earle Beauty Co Team.

Would I use the Alt-Retinol Booster before or instead of my usual skin oil (I use oils in preference to moisturisers)?

Asked by: Rubyn21
Thank you for your question. Our Superskin Alt-Retinol Boosters are ideal for anyone who is looking to refine the look of pores, looking for supple and refreshed skin and reduce signs of ageing such as lines and wrinkles. Many oils are great for hydrating the skin, so we would recommend using them both alongside each other. The Boosters are water based and have been designed to use before your moisturiser or to be mixed with it. We would recommend using the booster before your current oil you are using rather than mixing them due to the textures not blending as good as a cream-based product. We hope this information is helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact our customer centre team on 01983 813913 if we can be of any further assistance. – Liz Earle Beauty Co.
