New at Your Skin Solution · Skin Care Guide · Updated July 2026
Alastin has upgraded its hero product. The new Restorative Skin Complex features TriHex+™ — an enhanced version of the peptide technology that made the original famous — plus new ingredients targeting the look of skin volume and plumpness. Here's what changed, what stayed the same, and whether it's worth the switch.
What is Restorative Skin Complex?
Restorative Skin Complex is Alastin's flagship corrective face serum — the product most often recommended alongside in-office procedures and as a daily anti-aging staple. The new formula builds on the original's TriHex Technology® with TriHex+™, now enhanced with proprietary Octapeptide-45, which Alastin reports supports the skin's natural production of elastin and collagen while improving hydration.
- Helps improve the visible signs of aging: the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness
- New ingredients help improve the appearance of skin volume and plumpness
- Supports a hydrated, more youthful-looking complexion
- Suitable for all skin types — lightweight serum for face and neck, AM + PM
What's new in the formula
TriHex+™ with Octapeptide-45. The upgrade to Alastin's signature peptide blend. According to Alastin, Octapeptide-45 helps the skin produce its own high-molecular hyaluronic acid — for long-term hydration and visible skin plumping.
Magnolol. A magnolia-bark-derived ingredient that supports the appearance of healthy facial volume — addressing the deflated look that comes with age-related volume loss.
Hexapeptide-38 & L-Ornithine. Peptides that complement Magnolol for a more youthful-looking plumpness.
The full key-ingredient lineup
- TriHex+™ (with Octapeptide-45) — the enhanced signature peptide technology
- Magnolol — helps improve the appearance of skin volume
- Silver mushroom (Tremella) — a natural hydrator that holds moisture at the skin's surface
- Hexapeptide-38 & L-Ornithine — support a more youthful-looking plumpness
- Niacinamide, phytoene & phytofluene — antioxidants that also help improve the look of pigmentary concerns
New bottle, same science-first approach
The redesign brings a new purple bottle under the ALASTIN by Galderma identity. One thing to know when ordering: as stock transitions, some orders may still arrive in the classic white packaging — Alastin is using up existing packaging in support of sustainability. Either way, you're getting the product currently shipping from Alastin as an authorized retailer.
How to use it
Apply a small amount to clean skin on the face and neck, morning and night, after cleansing and before your moisturizer. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen. It layers well with retinoids and pairs naturally with in-office treatments — ask us or your provider about timing around procedures.

FAQ

I use the original Restorative Skin Complex — should I switch?
