One of our goals at LovelySkin is to bring customers the latest and greatest when it comes to innovative skin care. ALASTIN Skincare, a science-powered skin care line that focuses on daily-use formulas as well as pre- and post-procedure care, is now available at LovelySkin. “I’m thrilled to bring ALASTIN skin care products to our customers,” says board-certified dermatologist and LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger. “Their formulas are always on the cutting edge of scientific research, and their proprietary TriHex Technology is truly innovative.” If your interest is piqued, we’re ready to answer some of the questions you may have, including:
ALASTIN is a medical-grade skin care line founded in 2015 with the mission to incorporate high-level pharmaceutical science research into at-home products. The brand’s claim to fame is its patented TriHex Technology. TriHex is a blend of peptides and botanicals that works to improve the health and appearance of your skin by removing and replenishing old collagen and elastin fibers that are no longer functioning at an optimal level, either due to environmental factors or age.
“Collagen and elastin are proteins that provide your skin with structure, support and elasticity,” Dr. Schlessinger says. “Your body has the ability to produce these fibers on its own, but this process slows with age. Collagen and elastin are truly the building blocks of healthy skin, so when old fibers are replaced with new ones, you’ll notice your skin looks smoother and softer. Fine lines and wrinkles will also appear less prominent.”
ALASTIN makes daily skin care products designed to help support skin health and restoration every day of the week with face cleansers, serums, sunscreen and more that you can use in your morning and evening routines. The brand also makes pre- and post-procedural skin care products intended to help prepare your skin for professional treatments at your dermatologist’s office and also support the healing process and enhance your results afterward.
Ready to give it a try? Here are five products that pair TriHex Technology with other innovative ingredients for an effective skin care routine at home.
This daily face serum helps target major signs of visible aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture and tone and skin laxity. In addition to TriHex Technology, it also contains niacinamide to help improve uneven skin tone and tremella mushroom for hydrating benefits. It also contains an enzyme called l-ornithine and hexapeptide-38, two skin care ingredients that work together to help improve elasticity and restore volume. This facial serum can be used in your morning and evening skin care regimens, and it has some impressive accolades. Women’s Health magazine named it “Best Moisturizer for Mature Skin” in 2021, and Prevention Magazine named it “Best Wrinkle Treatment” in 2022.
To target signs of aging around the eyes, this is ALASTIN’s signature eye cream designed for everyday use. It helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and supports the production of new elastin and collagen with TriHex Technology. It also helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness with green tea extract and helps improve uneven skin tone with niacinamide and tetrapeptide-30. In a twelve-week clinical study, 90% of participants agreed their eyes looked less tired and puffy, and 100% of participants agreed their eyes looked more youthful.
“For patients undergoing in-office procedures such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or microneedling, I love to use this Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology for pre- and post-care,” says Dr. Daniel Schlessinger, a board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon. This restorative face serum is ready and waiting to help support and strengthen your skin both ahead of these treatments as well as after. Ingredients such as arnica, phytofluene and phytoene help reduce recovery time and calm inflammation while TriHex Technology supports the production of fresh, new elastin and collagen in your skin.
If you have dry, aging skin, this is the skin care product you’ll want to add to your wish list. It helps deliver rich, calming moisture to dry skin and support your skin’s moisture barrier with linoleic acid, oat kernel extract and phospholipids. Of course, it also contains TriHex Technology to help improve skin firmness and texture.
ALASTIN makes two mineral sunscreens, one tinted SPF (that’s the HydraTint) as well as this one, which is untinted and blends into your skin with a sheer finish. It provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays with 19.95% zinc oxide as well as an amino acid called Ectoin to provide blue light protection. The addition of TriHex Technology means your skin will get a collagen- and elastin-producing boost while being protected from the damaging rays of the sun. “This sunscreen is safe to use on sensitive skin as well as post-procedure skin if you must be outside for even a short time after a cosmetic treatment at your dermatologist’s office,” Dr. Schlessinger says.
