Therefore, the ingredient lists on this website may differ from the product packaging depending on the time and country of purchase. Please refer to your product packaging for accurate ingredient lists. A patch test before use must be carried out for suitability.

Q: How long does it take to see visible results from ALASTIN Restorative Skin Complex with TriHex+™? A: Clinical studies demonstrated that users begin experiencing improvements in skin hydration and texture within the first few weeks of consistent use. However, the most significant results—including improvements in skin volume, collagen and elastin production, and reduction in fine lines—were observed at the 12-week mark. The formulation works at the cellular level to support your skin's natural regenerative processes, which requires time to produce visible changes. For optimal results, we recommend consistent twice-daily application for at least 12 weeks, though many users report satisfaction with improvements noticed earlier in their treatment journey.

Q: Can I use this serum if I have sensitive or acne-prone skin? A: Yes, the ALASTIN Restorative Skin Complex has been specifically formulated to be both non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin types. The formulation has undergone comedogenicity testing to confirm it does not clog pores. Clinical studies included participants with Fitzpatrick skin Types I-VI, demonstrating its safety across diverse skin types. The lightweight serum texture absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy residue that might exacerbate breakouts. However, as with any new skincare product, we recommend performing a patch test before full facial application, particularly if you have highly reactive skin.

Q: Should I use this serum in the morning, evening, or both? A: For optimal results, apply the Restorative Skin Complex twice daily—both morning and evening after cleansing. The formulation's lightweight texture makes it ideal for layering under moisturiser and sunscreen in your morning routine, whilst evening application allows the peptide complex to work overnight during your skin's natural repair cycle. Consistent twice-daily use was the protocol followed in clinical studies that demonstrated the impressive 53.86% increase in skin hydration and significant improvements in texture and volume. If you're introducing the product into your routine, you may begin with once-daily evening application and gradually increase to twice daily as your skin acclimates.

Q: Can I use ALASTIN Restorative Skin Complex with retinol or other active ingredients? A: Yes, the Restorative Skin Complex can be incorporated into a regimen that includes other active ingredients, including retinoids, vitamin C, and AHAs/BHAs. The peptide-based formulation is designed to complement other professional-grade treatments. For optimal layering, apply the Restorative Skin Complex after cleansing and any water-based serums, but before heavier creams or oils. If using retinol, you may apply it after the Restorative Skin Complex has fully absorbed. However, when combining multiple active ingredients, we recommend introducing products gradually and monitoring your skin's response. Our skincare experts are available to provide personalised guidance on building a comprehensive regimen tailored to your specific concerns.

Q: Is this product suitable for addressing volume loss from weight loss or medication use? A: Yes, the enhanced formulation specifically addresses visible volume loss through its inclusion of Magnolol and Acetyl Hexapeptide-38, ingredients that support the body's natural production of healthy facial adipose tissue. Clinical studies demonstrated a 39.64% increase in Perilipin-1 positive cells, indicating enhanced adipocyte formation. This makes the serum particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing facial volume loss due to natural ageing, significant weight loss, or certain medications (such as GLP-1 receptor agonists). Whilst the product cannot replace lost volume to the same degree as dermal fillers, it provides a non-invasive approach to supporting skin plumpness and improving the appearance of facial contours over time with consistent use.

Q: Do I still need to use a separate moisturiser after applying this serum? A: Yes, whilst the Restorative Skin Complex provides significant hydration benefits (with clinical studies showing a 53.86% increase in skin hydration), it is formulated as a treatment serum rather than a standalone moisturiser. For optimal results, follow application with a moisturiser appropriate for your skin type to seal in the serum's active ingredients and provide additional barrier support. In the morning, always finish your routine with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to protect the newly formed collagen and elastin from UV damage. The lightweight serum texture is specifically designed to layer seamlessly under moisturisers and sunscreens without pilling or feeling heavy on the skin.
