ALASTIN Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology
Works for
MoisturizingPalmitoyl hexapeptide-12, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 11 moreWorks well
“Increased hydration and visibly supports healing.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, squalane.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingPalmitoyl hexapeptide-12, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 2 moreWorks well
“Includes TriHex+™ to support the skin's natural production of new, healthy elastin and collagen .”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: palmitoyl tripeptide-1.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Naringenin, Olea europaea leaf extract + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (naringenin) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Product summary
"Alastin - Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology" is effective for: Moisturizing and Anti-aging
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 1.20% - 1.80% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.70% - 2.50%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
