Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend you consult with your health care provider on which strength retinol is best for your skin type. As a general rule, those that have previously included a retinol in their regimen can safely use the 0.5 retinol. Those who are new to retinol should begin using the 0.25 retinol until tolerated nightly then if desired, can switch to the 0.5 retinol.
We suggest you begin using two to three evenings per week and increase gradually until tolerated nightly.
Yes, it is formulated to be used on all skin types (oily, combination, dry). If you have specific skin concerns, please consult with your health care provider.
Please consult with your health care provider.
It depends on use. If using 1 pump every evening, the bottle will last approximately 4.5 months.
Renewal Retinols has gone through Comedogenicity testing to determine if the product can clog pores, which it passed – proving it does NOT clog pores.
Step 1: With the cap on the bottle, begin by turning it upside down and patting firmly with the palm of your hand. This moves the product up to the top of the bottle, near the pump.
Step 2: Then, remove the cap and prime the pump by depressing it several times (up to 10 pumps) for the product to begin dispensing.
Step 3: If the product does not prime, please repeat both steps. Due to the airless nature of our pumps this may take several attempts.
We use state of the art airless packaging, which does not contain dip tubes, but rather a diaphragm that rises to evacuate the product. When you depress the pump, it creates a vacuum effect, drawing the product upwards and will allow for almost all of the product to be dispensed without left over. The double wall packaging we use can seem as though there is less product appropriate to the size of the bottle; however, it not only provides extra protection, but our products are over filled to ensure that the label claim volume is what is actually dispensed.
Please consult with your health care provider.
Yes, all ALASTIN Skincare products are paraben-free, as well as gluten-free and cruelty-free.

Physician Reviews
"I am super reactive to most retinols resulting in redness, irritation and excessive peeling. Because of ALASTIN’s patented formulation, it is encapsulated in a solid lipid, which improves the delivery of the retinol. So I get all the benefits of using my retinol without the downtime."

United StatesFemale / Latin/ NC35/ 45 years old/ rough, dry skin/ acne scars/ sun spots. After turning 44, moisturizers alone don't seem to ********* my skin. Oils work OK, but I still felt that I needed some sort of exfoliation in my routine. I didn't want to see a dermatologist because of the pandemic, so I purchased this online instead. This product leaves my skin very soft without the redness and stinging from Retin-A and Tazorac. It is very gentle and feels more like a moisturizer than a retinoid. I pair this with a simple, well-known over-the-counter cleanser and matching moisturizer and the results are outstanding. I now have buttery soft, plump and moisturized skin. The results are similar to what I used to get with lactic acid minus the stinging. And if you stop using it, your skin will revert to its former state within two or three days. I don' t believe this is gonna do anything for my acne scars and sun spots though. I've been using the 0.5 concentration daily for one month and can tell that this is as far as this product will take me. I am a very experienced retinoid user and have tried most **** and topical acne prescriptions available in the market since the age of 13. What I can say is that if you are generally satisfied with your skin and need to take it a notch up, you will be very happy with this product. Otherwise, you will need something stronger. I will continue to use this product until the pandemic is over, at which point I will see a dermatologist to discuss laser options. After that, I hope to continue to use this for maintenance, and will probably buy a cleanser and moisturizer from this line as well.
United StatesI have experienced sensitivities to most all retinols. I have been using this one for 2 weeks, and have had no peeling or irritation. Alastin has the most gentle formulas. I am very happy with this purchase.
United StatesI am 42 yrs old with dry ,sensitive and dehydrated skin I also have rosácea. Even though I have those condition I don’t have any wrinkles only expressions lines. This product is absolutely wonderful I have been using the moisturizer, retinol and their sunscreen.
United StatesI absolutely love the .5 formula. I am 39 and have acne prone skin with scarring and this red irritation that my dermatologist couldn’t diagnose. She said it was either rosacea or eczema. I was put on 4 different medications for it. Nothing worked and only made it worse. I had 2 bright red, dry and peeling patches under my mouth that hurt. I decided to try this product because I read that retinol can help with the skin issues the dermatologist had mentioned. I have been using this product for a month and I’m happy to say the patches are gone and the texture of my skin has improved! I did have a bit of a purge acne wise but now that has cleared up to and greatly helped my scarring. My skin feels super soft but above all those awful red patches are GONE!
United StatesI started using this product on April 7 and today is May 2. Last night I noticed my skin looked brighter and clearer with a better texture. Very pleased with this product. I have used the highest dosage of Retin-A in the past but I wanted to start back with a product that would nourish my skin and not dry it and this does just that. I love it!
