The Step-Up Retinol for Skin That's Ready for More
Alastin Renewal Retinol 0.5 delivers a higher-strength dose of lipid-encapsulated retinol that absorbs gradually, so you get the resurfacing power of 0.5% retinol with far less of the irritation that usually comes with it. Winner of InStyle's Best Beauty Buys "Best Wrinkle Treatment," it visibly diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, smooths rough texture, and evens skin tone — the natural next step once your skin has graduated from Renewal Retinol 0.25.
- Lipid-encapsulated retinol (0.5%) — time-released delivery that supports the skin's natural collagen production
- Silver Mushroom — a hydrator that outperforms hyaluronic acid to offset retinol dryness
- Oat Extract & Bisabolol — calm and comfort skin as it renews
- Co-enzyme Q-10 — antioxidant defense while your barrier rebuilds
How to use: Apply one pump to the face in the evening. Start two to three nights per week and build to nightly as tolerated. Always pair with a mineral SPF in the morning.
Non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. Best for normal, combination, oily, and dry skin with previous retinol experience. WeDoSkin is an authorized Canadian Alastin retailer — every bottle authentic and fresh.

Amazing price for my adored favourite foundation that I’ve worn for over 2 decades - Jane Iredale’s Purepressed Base in Ivory and Radiant.
I completely switched to Alumier skincare products about 3 years ago and will never go back. It has helped with my acne so much. This lotion is light weight and none greasy!
Best ever
Love the product
Seeing improvement in my dark spots already
5 stars
I loved it, made my skin look beautiful!
In under 2 weeks, my 49 year old don has experienced a transformation. Fine lines are diminished, increased elasticity and glow.
This is the best cleanser. I used to have very rough & textured skin. I started using this gentle cleanser and after a week or so my skin was smoother.
This is my favourite day cream. It is the perfect amount of moisture without being overly greasy.
The best sunscreen! 😍😍
A great sunscreen that goes on easily and protects well without a lot of complication (for a man)
It’s been my favorite since recommended from from laser therapist,
I love this product! It goes on really well with just a hint of tint and no cast. Feels lightweight and not greasy at all
Nice cream. Not greasy
Great sample gift included with my purchase!!

The Step-Up Retinol for Experienced Skin: Frequently Asked Questions
What does Alastin Renewal Retinol 0.5 do?
It visibly diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, refines texture and evens tone with 0.5% lipid-encapsulated retinol — a time-released delivery that gives experienced users faster progress with minimal irritation.
Who should use 0.5 instead of 0.25?
Choose 0.5 if you have used a retinol comfortably for several months, or previously tolerated prescription retinoids. True beginners should start with Renewal Retinol 0.25 and graduate up.
How does it compare to prescription tretinoin?
Tretinoin is stronger and faster but significantly more irritating and needs a prescription. Encapsulated 0.5% retinol delivers meaningful line and texture improvement with a fraction of the downtime — the sustainable middle path.
Will I purge or peel when I switch up from 0.25?
Most users transition smoothly thanks to the encapsulated delivery. Ease in at two to three nights weekly for the first couple of weeks, buffering with moisturizer if needed.
How do I use it?
One pump on clean, dry skin in the evening, building to nightly use. Follow with moisturizer, and wear mineral SPF every morning.
Can I use it with my other Alastin products?
Yes. Layer after Restorative Skin Complex at night, buffer with HA Immerse if skin feels dry, and keep A-Luminate or vitamin C in your morning routine.
How long until I see results?
Texture and glow improve within four to six weeks; fine lines and tone show meaningful change by twelve weeks, compounding from there.
