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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really nice I’ve had it about 3 weeks been using it as part of my daily routine. Lovely lightweight soaks into my skin very quickly. Not too thick feels lovely. Tried to mix with moisturiser but preferred on its own.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely Serum I use this serum underneath my morning moisturiser and on its own after cleansing at night- it is not oily and my skin feels soft and smooth and as l am in my late 50s l feel that it has reduced the appearance of my ageing skin by leaving a nice glow. The serum itself is easy to apply and the dropper is a good way of dispensing it economically- it smells pleasant and a little goes a long way. Would definitely buy.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Healthy glow [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Medium consistency enabling you to apply the product to direct areas. Absorbs nicely Into the skin leaving a non sticky healthy glow. Used with a moisturiser and does leave an oily feeling. Not seen a difference in relation to fine lines however only been using for 2 weeks. Think it should be a lower price point however you do only need a small amount so would last a long time

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy lightweight gel This is a nice thickness, its not too watery or too thick and it doesnt feel greasy. You can either use it alone or add a drop to your daily moisturiser which is really good. Ive been using it for about 3 weeks now and its become part of my daily routine. Ive not mixed it in with any creams yet and only used it on its own so i cant comment what its like when mixing it but it absorbs really well on its own.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A more gentle alternative to retinol [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this nightly for a few weeks now mixed with my night cream, I can't use retinol because it makes my skin dry and itchy however so far i seem to be tolerating this quite well, my skin is fresher looking and more dewy and some of my finer lines seem to be abating somewhat. at my age 70+ I'm not expecting miracles but this does seem to have made a noticeable difference to both my skins tone and overall texture.
Date published: 2021-07-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product! I have been using this for 3 weeks now as part of my daily Liz Earle routine before the serum & it is fabulous. I have had a few people comment how goid my skin looks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing results [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only been using this product for about a week, and I can already see a difference in my 'laughter lines'- especially around my eyes. my husband has also mentioned that he can see a difference- so it must be working! I apply twice a day, morning and night. Not greasy, the dropper is a nice touch for easy measurement control. Would recommend.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Okay but not great [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have started to incorporate this into my daily routine and I’ll be honest and say I haven’t noticed a difference at all. I’ve tried to put make up over the top of it to find it going clumpy and then peeling off. The actual texture of the serum is good though. It’s not oily and doesn’t make my face go really shiny!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Liz Earle booster [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is lovely and smooth and not oily, it goes on the skin great and sets super quick, I will be using this everyday as a skin routine hopefully will give me more of a glow

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Absorbs easily and you look fresh! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A lovely smooth gel that applies easily and dries instantly. My skin definitely feels plumper but have not noticed any diminishing wrinkles. Have only been using this for a week, so will hope for wrinkle free results soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is brilliant, and does everything it claims to do and is almost instant as I had dry skin before and it’s really worked!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Liz Earle. ALT-Retinol Booster [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only tried this serum for four days so not long enough to see results but applies beautifully and is absorbed quickly. Priced quite conservatively compared with some. Will definitely carry on and see if I notice any significant difference relating to my wrinkles!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Glowing results! I have been using this for 2 weeks and at first I used it every second day. I applied it directly on the deep wrinkles, but after watching Sarah Carr on Instagram, I decided to use it every day, 3 drops over my face and neck, before SuperSkin Serum. I must admit that I am impressed! The lines seem a little softer and my skin really does look brighter. I'm hoping that it may help reduce pigmentation, but maybe this will come with continued use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! I’ve been using this for just over a month now and I love it, it’s made my skin clearer, smoother and fresher looking. Would definitely recommend.

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
