"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. It contains their TrihexPeptide technology, which is basically a proprietary blend of tri and hexapeptides that's been shown to go in, clean out the dead buildup of collagen and elastin that's damaged from sun exposure, and they stimulate new collagen and elastin [...] forming. It also contains arnika, which helps to reduce swelling and inflammation postprocedure, and then a blend of wonderful antioxidants to help boost skin healing and improve outcome."

"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. Alastin contains a blend of trademark called TriexPeptide technology, containing tripeptides and hexapeptides, and has been shown in clinical studies and on skin biopsies to really go in and clean out the damaged collagen and elastin that's just sitting there taking up space, preventing new collagen and elastin from forming. So it goes in cleaning out the junk and then stimulating new ones to form."

"I've used this myself and I actually like it, I don't have anything bad to say about it. I like the feel of it, it's very silicone based which is good for healing and recovery and feels lightweight, though it does feel a little greasy on the skin which a lot of people may not care for. But is it worth it? It's 199 dollars for one ounce, and if you're going to a cosmetic dermatologist and they've asked you to purchase this to complement procedures you're getting, then I do suggest following their advice. But if you're wondering should you buy this to use as your everyday moisturizer, I would tell you no, absolutely not. 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."
