What the gurus are saying

Water-free and balm-like, this Alastin nectar is the post-procedure choice the experts keep returning to, especially after laser or microneedling. Because freshly treated skin can sting, going water-free matters, and it feels soothing for those with sensitive skin. The one catch is the price, and the more cautious take is that a basic moisturizer does much the same unless a treating doctor advised it.

"One of my favorite ones is expensive but has a lot of great data. I love it pre and post procedure. From Alastin, there is the Nectar that's great to use after resurfacing laser that boosts collagen and complements those procedures that help to jumpstart collagen banking."

5 ingredients and products a dermatologist will splurge on | Dr. Jenny Liu

"Alastin's Regenerating Skin Nectar doesn't contain water, it has a balmy texture, and it's great to use after procedure, a lot of physicians will actually apply this on their patients after procedure. This is the very first peptide treatment I ever used, and after this it really sparked my interest in incorporating peptides into my skincare routine, which I have for the past 7 to 8 years."

"One of my Holy Grail peptide treatments is from Alastin. They have a rejuvenating skin nectar that is anhydrous, so it doesn't contain water, and it actually has more of a balm primer-like texture. This is great to use post procedure, like after a laser or microneedling procedure."

Dermatologist's experience with Dual Faxel Laser | Dr. Jenny Liu

"Alastin was really designed to complement procedures like this, but the nectar is great because it's anhydrous, meaning it doesn't contain water, so the texture is like a balm. [...] When your skin is very vulnerable after laser, it already is uncomfortable, and often water-based products can burn and sting, and this one doesn't have water, so it's just really great to use. The technology within this product helps to boost healing and improve outcome."

"This is the Alastin Skin Nectar, their TriHex technology, a peptide product that helps promote cellular regeneration and healing. I have found that it works really well post laser procedures. Every day, morning and evening, I'm using it to help accelerate healing, and one regular size bottle will last you the entire length of time you need for laser recovery."

"I am particularly fond of their Regenerating Skin Nectar because it's meant to be used post-procedurally so great to help you recover from micro needling and laser resurfacing. It's just a very gentle formula with those added benefits and it just feels really soothing on the skin. So especially for people who have very sensitive skin who want to be doing something that's very comforting post procedure that has some added benefits, love this."

"I was like, oh, this has been studied post-operatively, post-procedurally, let me try it out. I loved it. I know it is expensive, you don't need it, but I like you can't simply just use your moisturizer or CeraVe healing ointment. But you want your fragrance-free things, you want things that are not going to irritate the skin at all, and that's what you're going to do the night when you get home and then for a few days after that."

"At 199 dollars this isn't going to offer you anything above and beyond what a basic drugstore moisturizer can offer you. I've not seen enough research to lead me to believe the peptides are really going to transform your skin, and I think your money would be better spent elsewhere. [...] Unless you've been advised by your treating dermatologist who's doing these procedures to get this to complement the treatment, [...] I don't think it's worth 199 dollars."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
