Alastin Skincare: Science-Backed Simplicity for Healthier Skin
In the often overwhelming world of skincare and anti-aging treatments, simplicity is something we can all appreciate. That’s one of the many reasons we frequently recommend Alastin products to patients. Backed by research and formulated with care, Alastin products offer powerful, multitasking solutions that streamline your routine without sacrificing results. Whether you're looking to smooth fine lines, boost radiance, or support post-procedure recovery, Alastin helps you care for your skin more efficiently and effectively.
Here’s a closer look at three standout products we recommend—and why they might be a great addition to your regimen.
Dr. McKelvey’s Recommendation: Alastin Restorative Skin Complex
If I had to choose one product that addresses multiple skin concerns with ease, it would be the Alastin Restorative Skin Complex. While there’s no true “one size fits all” in skincare, this product comes impressively close. It targets many of the most common concerns we hear from patients—fine lines, loss of firmness, dullness, and skin barrier damage—all in one lightweight formula.
Despite its simple application, the formulation is anything but basic. The key to its effectiveness is Alastin’s patented TriHex Technology—a blend of peptides and active ingredients designed to support the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin while removing damaged, aging proteins. The result? Improved elasticity, softened fine lines, and a visibly healthier complexion. In fact, clinical studies with biopsy results have shown meaningful increases in collagen and elastin after consistent use.
The Restorative Skin Complex also includes:
Niacinamide for antioxidant protection
Silver mushroom extract to enhance hydration
L-ornithine and hexapeptide-38 to support skin volume
This product should be applied twice daily after cleansing. Its non-greasy, fast-absorbing texture layers well under sunscreen and makeup, making it easy to incorporate into your existing routine. It's also gentle enough for sensitive skin and a great option for those who have difficulty tolerating retinoids. If you're looking to simplify your skincare without compromising results, this is an excellent place to start.
Dr. Cotell’s Recommendation: Alastin Gentle Skin Polisher
As the seasons change, so do our skin’s needs. After the dryness of winter, many patients notice that their skin feels rough or looks dull. Spring is the perfect time to reset and refresh—and exfoliation is a key part of that process.
The Alastin Gentle Skin Polisher is a go-to product we recommend for patients looking to restore a smoother, brighter complexion. This exfoliator is formulated with ultra-fine, biodegradable beads and a blend of soothing botanicals that gently remove dead skin cells and unclog pores without causing irritation.
What does it do?
Boosts cell turnover for a more radiant, youthful glow
Enhances the absorption of other skincare products
Provides effective exfoliation suitable for all skin types—including sensitive skin
How to use it:
Apply to damp skin – Start with a clean, moistened face.
Gently massage – Use small, circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
Rinse thoroughly – Use lukewarm water to remove the product completely.
Use 2–3 times per week – Adjust frequency based on your skin type and sensitivity.
Pro tip: Follow with your favorite Alastin serum and moisturizer to maximize skin renewal and hydration. If you’re not sure how to incorporate it into your existing routine, our dermatology team is happy to help.
Dr. Herron's Recommendation: ALASTIN Skincare’s C-RADICAL Defense Antioxidant Serum
With age, the level of Vitamin C in our skin declines and needs to be replenished. Dietary Vitamin C is incapable of making its way to the skin in adequate amounts. Topically applied products can provide the skin with the Vitamin C that is needed to help build and regenerate collagen and defend against skin aging from free radicals. In fact, topical application to the skin provides about 20X more Vitamin C than consuming it by mouth.
One of my new favorite products is ALASTIN Skincare’s C-RADICAL Defense Antioxidant Serum. It is a clinically-proven serum that features a proprietary encapsulated form of Vitamin C, which absorbs 20 times more effectively than traditional Vitamin C formulations. In addition, the product incorporates 14 vital antioxidants that work synergistically to neutralize free radicals and protect against UV damage. This potent combination supports the skin’s ability to conserve elastin and stimulate collagen production, essential steps to help maintain skin structure and elasticity and to help prevent sagging and wrinkling.
Clinical studies have demonstrated that C-RADICAL Defense can reduce the effects of free radicals in the skin by up to 74%. Consistent users have reported up to a 71% reduction in uneven skin texture, a 69% decrease in redness, and a 50% reduction in fine lines after eight weeks.
In fact, this serum was recognized as the “Best Vitamin C Serum” by New Beauty in 2024.
By incorporating ALASTIN’s C-RADICAL Defense Antioxidant Serum into your daily regimen, you can effectively protect your skin from environmental aggressors while enhancing its overall appearance and resilience.
Molly’s Recommendation: Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment
A question we often hear in the office is, “What eye cream do you recommend?” For many years, the answer was often: none. That’s because many over-the-counter eye creams are simply diluted moisturizers with added fragrance or preservatives—ingredients that can irritate the delicate under-eye area without offering much benefit.
However, Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment is a different story. This product is specifically formulated to target the unique concerns of the under-eye area, including fine lines, dark circles, puffiness, and loss of firmness. Thanks to Alastin’s TriHex Technology, the treatment goes beyond surface-level hydration. It works with your skin’s natural processes to support collagen and elastin production while clearing away damaged proteins that contribute to signs of aging.
Additional key ingredients include:
Mimosa tree extract and darutoside to improve skin firmness and reduce puffiness
Niacinamide, oak leaf extract, and green tea extract for brightening and antioxidant support
This treatment is safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. For best results, gently tap a small amount onto the lower eyelid area twice daily. It layers well with other skincare and is compatible with makeup.
If you’re looking to address under-eye concerns with a product that delivers real, visible results, the Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment is a smart and effective choice.
Torrie's Recommendation: Alastin HA Immerse Serum
Alastin HA Immerse Serum is an excellent everyday and post-procedure product due to its combination of high-quality ingredients that promote hydration, skin repair, and overall skin health. Its key component, hyaluronic acid, deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The lightweight formula also helps to calm and soothe the skin after cosmetic procedures, reducing redness and irritation. With its ability to enhance skin barrier function and support natural healing, it’s a perfect choice for daily use or as part of a post-treatment skincare routine.
Alastin HA Immerse Serum combines the power of hyaluronic acid with advanced technology to provide deep hydration and nourishment to the skin. This serum is formulated to deliver intense moisture, helping to plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your complexion a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Using Alastin HA Immerse Serum daily helps to maintain optimal skin hydration, which is essential for overall skin health. Consistent use of the serum strengthens the skin’s natural barrier. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, making it suitable for all skin types, and it’s especially beneficial for those with dry or sensitive skin.
Additionally, for individuals who’ve undergone cosmetic procedures, incorporating the serum into your daily routine can enhance the healing process. The calming and soothing properties of Alastin HA Immerse Serum help to minimize redness, irritation, and discomfort, promoting faster recovery while providing a boost of moisture to the skin as it heals.
