Alastin Skincare Renewal Retinol

Should I use 0.5 or 0.25 strength?

We recommend you consult with your health care provider on which strength retinol is best for your skin type. Generally, 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.

Can this be used every evening?

We suggest you begin using two to three evenings per week and increase gradually until tolerated nightly.

Can this be used on all skin types?

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.

Can I continue use after a procedure?

Please consult with your health care provider.

How long will this product last me?

It depends on use. If using 1 pump every evening, the bottle will last approximately 4.5 months.

Is this non-comedogenic?

Renewal Retinols has gone through Comedogenicity testing to determine if the product can clog pores, which it passed - proving it does NOT clog pores.

Why does this product use an airless pump?

This product uses an airless pump packaging. This non-pressurized vacuum dispensing system does not contain a dip tube and instead features a mechanical pump to provide a smoother delivery and more precise dosage. The dispenser also helps maintain the product™s integrity by preventing excessive exposure to air and other contaminants. When using your dispenser for the first time, you may need to prime it to access your product.

How do you activate the pump?

Step 1: Keeping the cap on, turn the bottle upside down and firmly pat (4 or 5 times) into the palm of your hand.Step 2: Remove the cap and prime the pump by pressing it several times for the product to begin dispensing. This may take 10-15 pumps.TIP: If the product does not prime successfully, please repeat both steps. Due to the airless nature of our pumps this may take a few tries.

Do you underfill the product?

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.

Is it safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Please consult with your health care provider.
