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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely new product I have only been using this for just over a week, but I love it already. It goes on my skin really well, and feels good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A treat I have used this for about a month every day along with the paste which I use alternate nights. At first I thought it would make no difference, but now, although the little lines on my cheeks are still there they are not so evident and my cheeks feel and look pumper. Its a gorgeous product and I feel pampered.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I started use by liz Earle a few weeks ago and am really impressed with the difference in my skin. This booster gel is simple to apply and has improved the appearance of my marionette lines and also the lines around my lips. Would highly recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reduced lines I've had some products more expensive that this but prefer this one! It does reduce the appearance of my crows feet when I have it on. It doesn't feel greasy when it's absorbed into the skin. A little goes a long way. Really good product.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Mixed bag. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this serum for a couple of weeks now. My skin does feel lovely and soft when I apply it, however my pores are more visible the next day (possibly as I have oily/combo skin).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing stuff! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for about 4 weeks and I have noticed a massive difference in the fine lines around my eyes. I add one drop to my usual serum morning and night and it's honestly made such a difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this product [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for a month and have noticed my skin looking plumper, less fatigued and instead refreshed, hydrated and given a more radiant looking complexion. I found this very easy to use and a little goes a long way, I mix a single drop into my moisturiser in the palm of my hand and this enables me to apply covering the whole of my face and neck absorbing well without feeling greasy or leaving a residue. This product is also recyclable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A fine-line remover, a MUST for any routine! I'm always a little nervous when it comes to adding new items to my skincare routine as I have very sensitive skin. The main focus of using this product was to help me reduce some fine lines, I noticed within a month of use that they had started to reduce drastically! I also had no issues with sensitivity, it didn't burn or anything like other products I have used in the past. Another plus, you don't need a lot of the product and you can even mix a drop into your daily moisturizer for even more coverage. This will definitely be a staple for my routine.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Reduced fine lines After a few weeks of use my skin does feel firmer and I think fine lines are reduced. However, when applying it, I found that it absorbs very quickly and becomes slightly sticky. So I find you need to apply quite a lot, as it is difficult to rub in unless you use an excess. No change to appearance of pores as of yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great skin booster [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is easy to use and feels light and fresh on the skin. My skin feels softer and smoother and I can see a difference with the lines on my forehead. This has a fresh smell like the other liz earle products and appears to be sensitive as well.
Date published: 2021-07-22
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Definitely improved [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this daily as part of my skin care routine especially around my eyes I can definitely see an improvement. It is expensive for a little bottle but the texture is really nice and only need a tiny bit, defo would recommend

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Gentle; From a Skin Care Junkie [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is very gentle on the skin. I have been using Retinol for a few years. But sometimes Retinol irritates burns my skin. I first started using it daily even though it recommended 3 times a week. Seen some good results, skin is soft and smooth. Will now drop down to 3 times a week. It is a little pricey though. But is very gentle on the skin compared to the much cheaper The Ordinary Brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great at smoothing the skin [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Liz Earle and use it daily so this really complimented the routine I use. I love this product. I have a few lines on my forehead that I’ve had all my life and these did a great job at reducing and smoothing them after daily use. One negative is the bottle is small and pricey for its size. If you can afford to splurge I’d recommend

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use, light and refreshing. Blends well with no greasy after feel. Not been using it long enough to notice if any lines have lessened. The best part of this product, is the fact it's cruelty free.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Hydrating and Refreshing [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little goes a long way. Used this after my daily skincare routine, cant say it helped with any wrinkles or fine lines if I’m 100% honest. But it did make my skin feel refreshed and hydrated. You only need 1 or 2 droplets for your face. Mixes in well with everyday facial moisturiser.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from silky smooth [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a smooth cream that was easy to apply. I didn't find it greasy it was lightweight. It had a natural scent. I haven't seen any results yet but have only been using it for a few days.
Date published: 2021-07-20
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Really impressed [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a lightweight gel that you can apply on its own or mixed in with foundation / moisturiser. I used it on its own, I didn’t find it sticky like other reviewers. It definitely improved the appearance of fine lines, not so much on the deeper lines though sadly.
Date published: 2021-07-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I Love This! So glad I tried this. It has definitely improved the look of my skin. One drop mixed in with my superskin moisturiser morning and night is all you need. It’s light and doesn’t make the skin feel sticky or clogged. It smells lovely too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good but in moderation! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has been great at hydrating my skin, haven't seen massive improvements in my lines on my face yet, but it probably needs longer to work. Also big tip is that i found you only need a small amount otherwise it can be thick on your skin/ leaves a layer. So moderation is definitely key but that also means it lasts longer!
Date published: 2021-07-16
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fabulous Been using this product for two weeks, and have seen immediate results. The fine lines have softened, and my skin looks radiant. One drop of the booster goes along way, and doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy. In the morning, I pop the LE facial serum on top. It's fabulous!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy to use [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As in my title, I found this easy to apply - a little is all that is needed. I'm not particularly wrinkly, so I'm not sure it helped all that much in that sense - but I agree that it is great at rejuvenating and hydrating the skin.
Date published: 2021-07-15
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointed [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I personally found this rather thick and gloopy to apply. No matter how thin I used it my face was still tacky 20+minutes later. I’m sorry to say not for me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Hydration booster! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Whilst this didn’t make a significant difference to any lines, I did see real improvement in my hydration. It goes on well and isn’t greasy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I really like it. I really like it. I mean it hasn’t made me look 21 again but I was expecting miracles. Easy to apply, sinks in nicely and doesn’t leave a greasy residue.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Refreshes skin [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to review. I found it easy to apply and it was gentle on my sensitive skin. I do feel that it made my skin feel smoother and refreshed, however I don't think there is any noticeable visable difference so I wouldnt buy it at full price. I would recommend for hydration though.

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, 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.
