Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer - 59ml
A daily moisturiser that does considerably more than moisturise. Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is built on the same TriHex Technology that underpins every product in the Alastin range, meaning that the moisturising step of your routine is simultaneously contributing to the clearance of degraded dermal proteins and the stimulation of new collagen and elastin production. Most moisturisers provide no structural benefit whatsoever. This one does.
It is also the designated post-procedure recovery moisturiser in the Alastin procedure protocol, formulated to be gentle enough for freshly treated, compromised skin while delivering the barrier support, calming botanicals and intensive hydration that post-procedure skin requires. Multiple award-winner. Fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types.
Who Is It For?
- Anyone wanting a daily moisturiser that contributes to structural skin renewal alongside hydration
- Post-procedure skin needing intensive, gentle barrier support after laser, microneedling, peels and radiofrequency
- Sensitive, reactive or compromised skin needing a calming, nourishing daily moisturiser
- Those building a complete Alastin routine and wanting a compatible moisturising step
- Patients on GLP-1 medications experiencing dryness and skin sensitivity during weight loss
- Menopausal skin needing intensive daily nourishment alongside structural support
How Does It Work?
TriHex Technology in the moisturiser continues the clearance and rebuilding work of the serums, maintaining momentum in the structural renewal process through the moisturising step. A calming botanical complex reduces inflammation and soothes reactive and post-procedure skin. A multi-weight moisturising complex delivers immediate surface hydration and sustained moisture retention throughout the day. Barrier-supporting lipids and peptides maintain epidermal integrity throughout use, making it suitable for daily use on all skin types and for application to freshly treated skin immediately after procedures.
Key Ingredients
- TriHex Technology (proprietary peptide complex): Continues collagen and elastin clearance and synthesis stimulation through the moisturising step, ensuring the structural renewal process is supported at every stage of the routine.
- Calming botanical complex: Reduces redness, inflammation and reactive responses in the skin, making the moisturiser suitable for sensitive, rosacea-prone and post-procedure skin types.
- Multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid: Provides immediate and sustained hydration at multiple depths, maintaining skin comfort and suppleness throughout the day.
- Barrier-supporting lipids: Restore and maintain the skin's natural barrier function, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving the skin's ability to retain hydration independently.

How We Use It at Face for Soul
As a pharmacist prescriber and aesthetic practitioner, Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is the post-procedure moisturiser I include in the take-home kit for patients after laser, microneedling and radiofrequency treatments. Its combination of gentleness on compromised skin and active TriHex support makes it the most appropriate moisturiser for the acute recovery phase, and it transitions naturally into a daily moisturiser for ongoing use. For patients building a complete Alastin routine, it is the compatible moisturising step that ensures the TriHex activity continues through every layer of the protocol.
How to Use
Apply to clean skin morning and evening after serums. Use a pea-sized amount and smooth gently over the face and neck. For post-procedure use, apply as directed by your clinician, typically from the first day after treatment. Follow with SPF in the morning. Pair with: Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar or Restorative Skin Complex before moisturising, and SPF as the final morning step. No specific products to avoid. Compatible with all Alastin serums and most other skincare.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth the money?
Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is the only daily moisturiser in the Alastin range and it includes TriHex Technology, which means it contributes to structural collagen and elastin renewal alongside daily hydration. Most moisturisers at any price do not do this. For patients already using Alastin serums, this moisturiser continues the TriHex protocol through the final step of the routine.
Can I use it with tretinoin?
Yes. Apply tretinoin in the evening and allow to absorb, then apply Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer to provide barrier support and reduce the dryness and sensitivity that tretinoin commonly causes. It is one of the most appropriate moisturisers to use during tretinoin treatment.
Is it pregnancy safe?
Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer does not contain retinoids or ingredients with established pregnancy contraindications. We always recommend consulting your midwife or obstetrician before starting new skincare during pregnancy.
Is it suitable for rosacea-prone skin?
Yes. The calming botanical complex and fragrance-free formula make it one of the most rosacea-compatible moisturisers in the Alastin range. It is appropriate for all sensitive and reactive skin types.
Can I use it after microneedling?
Yes. Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is specifically formulated for post-procedure use and is gentle enough for application to freshly needled skin from the first day after treatment, as directed by your clinician.
Can I combine it with Vitamin C?
Yes. Apply the Alastin C-RADICAL Defense in the morning before the serums, then moisturise with Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer as the penultimate step before SPF.
Does it clog pores?
No. Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone skin.
How long will one tube last?
A 59ml tube used twice daily on the face and neck typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks.
Is it suitable immediately after a procedure?
Yes. This is one of its primary design specifications. It is formulated to be gentle enough for compromised, freshly treated skin while delivering the barrier support and calming actives that post-procedure skin needs.
Is it vegan?
Yes. Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is formulated without animal-derived ingredients.
Is it cruelty-free?
Yes. Alastin does not test on animals.
Clinical Insight
As a pharmacist prescriber specialising in skin health, Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is the moisturiser I reach for when I want the final step of a patient's routine to continue doing meaningful skincare work rather than simply providing comfort. The TriHex Technology in the moisturiser means the structural renewal process initiated by the serums is not interrupted at the moisturising step. For post-procedure patients in particular, the combination of gentleness and active structural support makes it the most clinically appropriate moisturiser I can recommend.
Research and Evidence
Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer is built on TriHex Technology, supported by multiple independent published studies on collagen and elastin clearance and new protein synthesis stimulation. The calming botanical complex is formulated with botanicals with established anti-inflammatory and barrier-supporting properties in the dermatological literature. It has been clinically evaluated as part of the Alastin post-procedure protocol across laser, microneedling and radiofrequency treatment studies.
How Does It Compare?
Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer vs standard moisturiser: A standard moisturiser hydrates and provides barrier support. Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer does both and additionally supports collagen and elastin renewal through TriHex Technology. For patients already using Alastin serums, this is the compatible moisturiser that continues the protocol through the final step.
Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer vs Epicutis Hyvia Creme: Epicutis Hyvia Creme uses patented Hyvia technology for intensive barrier repair and hydration. Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer uses TriHex Technology for structural renewal alongside moisturisation. The choice depends on whether the patient's primary need is barrier repair or collagen and elastin renewal in their moisturising step.
Complete Your Routine
Morning: gentle cleanser, Alastin C-RADICAL Defense Antioxidant Serum, Alastin HA IMMERSE Serum, Alastin Restorative Skin Complex, Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer, SPF 30 or higher. Evening: gentle cleanser, Alastin Restorative Skin Complex, Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer. For the eye area, apply Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment after serums and before the moisturiser.
