Superskin Alt-Retinol Skin Paste from Liz Earle
There has been huge coverage in the press about retinol as it is one of the most sought after ingredients in skincare, however many people complain about the side effects – irritation, dryness, redness and sensitivity. So Liz Earle, who has 25 years expertise in efficacious botanical extracts, took on the retinol challenge to formulate her own gentle plant-based alternative, Superskin Alt-Retinol, which is available in two formats.
First let me tell you that both the supercharged booster and luxurious leave-on Skin Paste delivered superb results which you could easily see, just as you would if you were able to use traditional retinol products. But using this gentle, plant-based blend which relies on two key botanical ingredients – Bidens pilosa and Stevia which work by mimicking retinol’s mechanism of action on the skin.
Now let me follow-on with saying that using this powerful two-part routine, – both suitable for all skin types – and with regular use, your skin will look refreshed, more youthful and feel supple, whilst the appearance of any lines and wrinkles will be visibly reduced.
Powered by key botanicals:
- Bidens pilosa – also known as Spanish needle, a naturally active ‘alt-retinol’ with impressive results in smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Kigelia – responsibly sourced in Zimbabwe and included for its skin plumping benefits, to leave skin feeling supple
You’ll enjoy the skin-smoothing benefits, by just applying a thin layer and leave on overnight and use this 2-3 times a week. The correct amount should leave you with a temporary golden glow, before it sinks into your skin, which is due to the carrot seed oil.

Superskin Alt-Retinol Booster from Liz Earle
These lightweight gel drops will renew the appearance of your skin, giving you a less fatigued appearance and a refreshed, more radiant looking complexion. Now even though this is highly effective, it is still a gentle formula which cleverly mimics the mechanism of traditional retinol. So you’ll find that it helps reduce the appearance of deeper lines and wrinkles, minimise the appearance of pores and leave your skin feeling firmer and looking rejuvenated. Both products are as you would expect from Liz Earle cruelty free, effective, ethical and kind.
Powered by key botanicals:
- Stevia – derived from a relative of chrysanthemum, stevia delivers a retinol-like action helping to minimise the appearance of wrinkles, for younger-looking skin.
- Elderberry – with natural antioxidant properties, it helps reduce appearance of deeper lines and wrinkles. Skin is left feeling firmer and looking rejuvenated.
You can enjoy the skin-smoothing benefits, by just applying directly to your clean skin, morning and evening. Or if you wish you can just mix a single drop into your chosen moisturiser.

I’d just like to finish off by saying I would also recommend you to use or try Liz Earle’s Cleanse & Polish, her award-winning cleanser, it is one of my must have products. With the great results obtained from Superskin alt-retinol booster and the skin paste I’d really hope larger sizes are on their way!!!!!
