Just wow!
Alastin Skincare Renewal Retinol 1 Oz
One retinol, two strengths at one price. Start at 0.25 if you have never used one, move to 0.5 when your skin is ready.
What is Alastin Renewal Retinol?
Alastin Renewal Retinol is a nightly serum in two strengths, which Alastin describes as "a lipid encapsulated retinol serum that supports smoother skin texture, improves skin tone, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles." One pump each evening.
What is in it
Lipid encapsulated retinol is Alastin's delivery system: it improves how the retinol reaches the skin and supports the skin's natural ability to produce collagen. The encapsulation lets the retinol release gradually rather than all at once.
Silver mushroom Alastin describes as having "significantly more hydrating properties than hyaluronic acid". Oat extract calms, co-enzyme Q-10 protects the retinol's activity, and niacinamide sits high in the formula, above the retinol itself.
One thing worth clearing up about the ingredient list
You will see BHA near the end of the ingredients. In this formula that is butylated hydroxyanisole, an antioxidant preservative sitting next to BHT. It is not beta hydroxy acid, the salicylic acid family. If you have been told not to use a BHA exfoliant on the same night as a retinol, that advice does not apply to this ingredient.

Alastin Renewal Retinol reviews
- Five of our eight reviewers name the professional who sent them. Two dermatologists, a Botox nurse practitioner, a plastic surgeon, and one who recommends it to her own patients.
- Beginners do well on it. One describes a visible change in fine lines at two to three weeks and full-face nightly use after a month.
- Tingling early on, then nothing. One buyer reports tingling for the first few applications that stopped after a few uses.
- Sensitive and rosacea-prone skin has tolerated it. One reviewer reports no dryness, redness or flaking. Another says her rosacea-prone skin tolerates it perfectly. Alastin formulates for oily, combination and dry and does not claim sensitive, so this is buyer experience, not a brand claim.
- People stay on it. One reviewer is four years in, another has been consistent since her fifties.
Which strength should you buy?
Both cost the same, so pick on tolerance. New to retinol, or restarting after a break, take 0.25. Already using one comfortably several nights a week, take 0.5. You can move up later.
It sits alongside the rest of Alastin. For a peptide serum to alternate with on non-retinol nights, that is Alastin Restorative Skin Complex, and around professional treatments, Regenerating Skin Nectar.

Very comfortable shoe, think I will wear it a lot this summer!
Really nice shoes , well made , true as advertised. Very soft leather . They are a little narrow .
The shoes just felt very flimsy and I needed more support. My toes felt like they would pop through the holes when walking.
beautiful well made 🤩
Italian Genuine Suede & Full-Grain Leather Tote Bag | Bologna
My bag arrived in reasonable time - under 2 weeks from UK to USA - as expected. The bag is beautifully understated with soft leather, a lovely smooth strap that will not snag delicate knits but wide enough to feel comfortable on the shoulder even when carrying a heavy tablet and a smooth running zipper. It is carefully finished - no loose threads or crooked stitching and was exceedingly well packaged so there are no creases or scratches. The price was exceptionally good, especially as it included shipping and tax. I will recommend and consider buying from this site in the future.
These pants are great ! I have had a pair for 6 years and they are still great!
It’s not really an anklet. It’s just a string of beads on elastic. No clasp, which I didn’t notice from the picture. I returned it today
The pants are exactly what I wanted, fit perfectly and arrived quickly!
Obsessed with this seashell fuchsia clutch. It was the perfect pop of color for my trip to Greece
Good quality
The sandals are cute and very comfortable.
Adorable bag! Love everything about it! Great vacation accessory!
I have a lot of compliments from friends on this bag is so nice and cute

So cute
I RETURNED THIS BAG AS I FOUND IT TO BE VERY FLIMSY FOR THE MONEY. THERE ARE MANY OTHER HANDBAGS OUT THERE WHICH ARE MORE "SOLID" FOR THAT PRICE.
07/13/26 Seashell Handbag Hello, The bag itself is nice. However the ball of straw at the top makes it difficult to wrap the loop around it. The clasp needs to have a smooth surface or use a smooth metal clasp or a large faux pearl (like on other identical bags) or with a strong magnet or a clasp used on many top closure bags. I tried to push down the straw ball so it's easier to close. Tell your supplier about this issue.
The bag smells so horrible of toxic moth balls, I couldn’t even bring it in my house. My whole head hurt as soon as I opened it, and I had to wash my hands after touching it. It has been sitting outside for 24 hours and the smell is just as strong. I need a new one that doesn’t smell Iike this.
Beautiful so Many Compliments
It’s fine

The picture was not accurate. THe bag was half the size it appeared in the picture.
The wrong item was sent but your customer service is not responding at all!!!!!!!! I ordered Lottie Flap Crossbody Medium Handbags-Olive But got Lottie Saddle Crossbody Small Handbags - Olive
Oryany - Lottie Flap Crossbody Medium Handbags - Olive Leather
These are well-made and very comfortable - was delighted when they arrived! The foot shape is very elegant (not too wide) which I think is not represented optimally in photo. More colors please!
They fit perfectly. The souls are a little slippery though but overall very good.
My wife loved it! Sleek, well-made, and able to be worn in multiple ways

Lancaster Zipped Pouch S Ikon - Crossbody - Beige / One size
Perfect size wallet to compliment the crossbody bag.
Love this new bag. It has tons of room and a cute smaller bag inside. I love that it’s in neutral colors and compliments everything!
I accidently bought the wrong size I wear a size 9.5, but this is a size 8
Too big
These shoes were improperly size ranged. I am between a snug 6-1/2 and 7-ish depending on the shoe. I was too intimidated to order the smaller size seeing the 6– to 6-1/2 which 6 I am definitely not. So these 38’s are so huge I’ve inserted TWO inserts, and TWO Heel gels for each shoe and they are still hopelessly unwearable. I’m absolutely distraught. If you send me the smaller size I’m going to try to return these if you tell me how. Please send me the smaller pair.
I have to return this bag as my daughter does not like it. How do I go about this? Please advise
As advertised
I purchased it for my mother in law and liked it so much I I bought one for myself!
Love the shoes 👞 I will be making more purchases 🥰✨🫰🏾
The boots do not fit. I need to send them back
