I agree with you 100% this should not be used as a standard moisturizer. Have you seen the research where they did biopsies of the skin pre/post nectar use? That's what convinced me that this really works in helping build new collagen.

[@pinkbombshellcasing2672]

It’s Dr Ania Marie 💕✨

[@ManUntdForever]

Absolutely worth it product. In fact, it’s what my dermatologist sent me home with after doing a series of RF microneedling and Fraxel treatments. It absolutely helped with my healing. I had zero adverse reactions to the cream or the treatments.

[@fussbrain9161]

Same! Had fraxal laser treatments and used this product afterward, so happy with the results and felt it really aided in the healing process

[@tabbymyers]

Did you put moisturizer on before the nectar? Or after? I just got the nectar to use after microneedling & I’m trying to figure out how to layer it with my skincare prior / after?

[@ManUntdForever]

@@tabbymyers I was told by my medical aesthetician (based on the derm’s recommendations) that I wash my face w a gentle cleanser and apply the nectar on dry skin. I just did that AM and PM for like a week and healed nicely.

[@debbiemccune1952]

But you have no idea what a basic emolliant/occlusive product would have done. Nothing in this expensive produt is proven to more than a much cheaper basic ointment.

[@Catscosta888]

A product that is a MUST for me post procedure. I learned the hard way and used aqua for because I didn’t want to spend the additional money . Well that was a mistake Alastin is so healing !!! And far superior to other things like Vaseline but I know it’s Uber pricey so I plan for it along with my treatment- I just add the $210 on top of it I mean I am Already spending thousands what’s a few hundred more ?? and away we go !

[@PountyPout]

I’ve used Nectar multiple times post Halo, Moxi, and BBL treatments. I have had wonderful results and I do recommend using it post treatment. And yes, I agree there is no need to use it day to day. Appreciate the information as always!

[@tabbymyers]

Do you put the nectar on before moisturizer or after? I’m trying to figure out where to layer it? Or just use it by itself post-procedure? Thanks so much!!

[@MagnificoMaltese]

This is a product to be used right before and after any laser or peel procedure. IT IS AMAZING! I’ve used it after my fraxel laser and IPL laser. Eating pineapple or taking bromalein works great too. Helps healing for any procedures and even surgery.

[@Jerrysgirlalways]

So happy to have seen this. I had a laser procedure done a couple of years ago. I used the Soothe and Protect recovery balm. It was great post-procedure, and i use it as a moisturizer for any laser or surgical procedure (it's Vaseline+ it appears). I was "told" I should use the whole line as my permanent skincare regimen (sunscreens, facial cleanser). I dropped a few $$$ before i decided that it just wasn't sustainable on MY budget. Glad to hear I'm not missing out! Love your videos. FACTS FACTS, plus, the real teller that you have integrity is that you don't only discuss high end brands but all affordability ranges. My local Walgreens loves you!

[@DrDrayzday]

that recovery balm is VERY similar to Cetaphil's healing ointment....same parent company, but about $15 vs $42

[@loverenee]

Glad you reviewed this. A derm recommended it to me after micro needling and I don’t think it’s worth the price.

[@t.sarvis9140]

Ok, this is just my experience with Alastin, so take it for what it's worth. Sorry if it's a little long. I had my first Morpheus treatment 6 weeks ago and was given a small tub of nectar to use after. I was lightly swollen except on the neck which was quite inflamed. Small dots scabbing, nothing major. I used the nectar and within 3 days my skin was much better. I was concerned about a small patch around my nose so they gave me several more pumps worth. I had only intended to do one treatment this year, but the results on my neck were impressive, so I found another credit card and signed up for two more. I had read that using the nectar before treatment was recommended so for four days before my next treatment I applied the nectar. When I went in for treatment this time, it was much more painful than the first time and there was more swelling and bleeding. I realized ( too late) that I had scheduled it on r last day of my period. I got through it, looked in the mirror... Baggy around the eyes, neck red and inflamed. A few raised welts around the mouth and cheeks. The office gave me another product to put on my face after, but I still had a couple of (tatcha golden spoon) scoops of nectar left so I used it that night and in the morning. Amazingly, within 24 hours, all the swelling was gone, and most of the redness. The only thing I did differently from the first time was applying the nectar beforehand. I am hoping they come up with a trial size nectar before my next treatment because I don't want to pay $200 either!!

[@debbiemccune1952]

So using the product ahead of time made your skin worse. That is the 3rd person who has posted the same result.

[@dguisinger]

I used this before and after Morpheus 8, I didn't have any redness/bruising/pealing past 1 day. I bought it again for my next upcoming treatment, but I do cringe at the price.

[@laly6980]

Next week is going to be the first time that I will start with Alastin because I will have a procedure 😊 but I will say my sister uses Alastin restorative skin complex ( as a moustirizer) for awhile and she won't replace it with anything, her skin is beautiful! She can afford it and good for her 😊

[@fussbrain9161]

I wanted to know more about this product since I had recently undergone a laser treatment on a burn scar, it was given to me by my plastic surgeon and honestly has done wonders for the scar reduction and healing. I would absolutely talk to your dermatologist/ plastic surgeon about using these treatments after procedures. I think they really aided in the recovery and healing process. I also fully agree this probably shouldn’t be purchased for everyday skincare use either

[@bnb0510]

Alastin products are great imo! Their skin nectar is used prior to and after procedures. It’s not meant to be used on the daily however the restorative skin complex is and it’s fabulous as well as their eye complex.

[@citysick]

YES. Yes it is worth it. I had several RF microneedling treatments, and my skin ended up looking rough even months later. On the last treatment I bought this. At the same time, I had major chemical irritation on my face from where I went overboard trying to fix a new breakout. I put it on my face, the areas I had previously treated with rf microneedling, and the latest area, and it worked INCREDIBLY. I even put it over an active breakout, which took a major leap of faith, and the next day it was flattened out. I was worried about covering my face with dimethicone because I had to pause on the actives while my face was so irritated, and I didn’t want to break out even more. Would I use it when my skin is in perfect, non irritated condition, NO. But my god, during a skin crisis, YES.

[@debbiemccune1952]

There are drugstore product s that do the exact same thing. No need to waste $$$.

[@Roxypocket]

@@debbiemccune1952which ones?

[@Tasiaevansss]

I use tretinoin routinely and the nectar heals my skin from the irritation so it’s definitely worth it even though I don’t get lasers, and I use it after peels too

[@kimw.5369]

Oooo, retin messes w me terribly! I never thought about soothing it with Nectar❤️

[@caitlinma9328]

Second! My derm gave this to me after fraxel laser. No irritation. And I am recently on tretinion and recalled that I should go back to the nectar to reduce irritation especially during winter

Thank you for the info! Can you please do a video about the Alastin Skin Restorative Complex? I’d like to know if it’s worth it.

[@behindthechairwithdarlened2104]

I used this after my co2 ablation and it is 100% worth it. Having said that , I spent over a thousand for the treatment. I had a subsequent laser treatment and did not spend the money again and I should have. Petroleum breaks me out and is very, very drippy because your skin weeps ( gross ) while your healing, so this product does not add to that weeping. The ablation was the best thing I have ever done for my skin besides Retin A.

[@tabbymyers]

Did you just use the nectar by itself post procedure? I’m having microneedling & plan to use it. If you layered it, did you put the nectar on before or after moisturizer?? Thanks so much!!

[@kathleenp3135]

Thanks Dr. Dray, for always being honest and looking out for our dollars.

[@mercedes4328]

Hi Dr. Dray, I have used two bottles of this very pricey product because it was recommended by my dermatologist to use post Infini Microneedling. I didn't really see any results from the product, but also had no negative side effects from the procedure. I would purchase again for use after a procedure only if my derm recommended it. Thank you so much for your review. Please say hello to your mom and Tybee. Have a great weekend!

[@torifoxx1579]

Can you do a review on their restorative complex please? Also I do love this product specifically for after microneedling, revlite & c02 treatments. I used to use just Vaseline which did work well but the nectar does feel better and less greasy when you need it on your whole face while healing.

[@jonnahtron]

I had CO2 laser resurfacing, I was given this product as part of the procedure. It took me about a week to heal up, I wasn’t sure if the product was really doing anything though, just felt like a normal silicone based moisturizer or makeup primer. $199 is ridiculous

[@marianne6373]

If a skincare product is absolutely game changing for me, and maybe replaces a couple of other things, and lasts a good while, can spend maximum $100 on it. Not $101 or more. Lol (Even the 100 hurts my soul!) For $199 it would have to solve the climate crisis and put an end to all wars. 😂

[@DrDrayzday]

Exactly 😂

[@damaracarpenter8316]

$30 would be a huge splurge for me on an individual product. I am blown away by a $200 price tag omggg

[@pinkbombshellcasing2672]

I think I’m more about the quality of the product than a hard stop on the price tag. I prioritize how effective the product is for me, and am open to spending more if it works. That being said, I haven’t seen anything expensive that’s worth it and I use mostly Cerave 💀

[@taranullius9221]

The only more expensive product I use is tretinoin and that is worth every single cent.

Hi! I just purchased the restorative skin complex and I had a bad reaction to it!! It caused a red rash all over my face and made my skin feel very dry and it itches and burned a little. It is over 200.00 and you only get an oz. I really was hoping it would work but it didn't for me.

[@StevenMP1993]

My dermatologist advised me to acquire this product as a complement to my microneedling sessions. I've undergone three treatments so far. During the initial treatment, I did not purchase the skin nectar, but for the subsequent two treatments, I acquired and applied it two weeks before and after the procedure. I observed a notable difference, particularly in terms of recovery time, when using the skin nectar. I highly recommend it. However, when it comes to integrating this product into my daily skincare routine, I align with Dr. Dray's perspective and opt to pass definitively. The cost is too high, and I believe it may yield similar results as an over-the-counter moisturizer from a drug store.

[@tabbymyers]

Did you use the nectar by itself post microneedling while healing? I’m having it next week & trying to figure out whether to layer it with moisturizer before or after or use alone?

[@StevenMP1993]

I only applied the skin nectar after treatment. However, I believe that combining moisturizer with the nectar might improve hydration and expedite the recovery process. I don't see anything wrong it. Alternatively, I even thought about applying Vaseline on top of the nectar which could effectively seal in the product. However, I didn't do it. @@tabbymyers

[@user-et4th3lv9i]

Great informative post, but the qualifier about it not being recommended as a moisturizer isn’t necessary because it should never be sold or marketed as a moisturizer anyway. It’s anhydrous, so it has no ability to “moisturize” or “hydrate” anyway. It’s purely intended for pre and post procedure use as more of a “serum.” Beside the small study mentioned, I can say firsthand that after having nectar be optional for my patients for a long time, I now require it for all resurfacing type of procedures because (anectodally) those patients tend to do better. I have witnessed Alastin nectar heal things like sunburn, inflammatory eczema flare-ups, psoriasis patches. We don’t have a true on label indication to claim it works for those things, but anectodally it works wonders. Worth the (now) $210.

[@debbiemccune1952]

But you are not comparing it to basically the same thing from the drugstore for $25. You are just trying to make profit on an emoliant/occlusive with a fancy name and price. Where is the results of your comparative study where your patients were given a budget anhydrous post procedure product and the Nectar? Of course patinets will do better with a good healing ointment than if you send them home without one.

I’ve been using the products for about 5 days now. My skin has been getting more and more itchy and red and tonight it’s swollen as well and it looks like I have a sunburn. I don’t understand cause this is supposed to be good for sensitive skin. What should I use if THIS causes me problems? I’m glad I found out before my procedure…that would have been TERRIBLE if I used this to heal me and it caused me an allergic reaction.

[@debbiemccune1952]

Nothing in this product is proven to promote collagen production. The procedure does that and this product just helps with healing. Dr. Dray is just trying to not step on the toes of cosmetic derms that promote this expensive product to make more profit in their clinics. They could sell drugstore healing oitments that would do the exact same thing, but that takes away from the false sense of exclusivity and from profit.

I just bought the Alastin restorative skin complex from the Alastin Co and I literally had an allergic reaction to the serum!!! I was shocked because it made my skin itchy with red spots and it dried my skin out! I had wondered if Rosehip seed oil was in it because I am very allergic to Rosehip seed oil! Rosehip seed oil causes my skin to get real red and rough and tight crinkly skin. The Alastin restorative complex caused me a similar reaction to the Rosehip seed. I guess I'm the rare person where I had the opposite effect!! I know that Alastin is a fantastic skincare line and most people do well with their products but for some reason I had a negative reaction to that one product! Also Rosehip seed oil is supposed to be for sensitive skin and most people can use it. It's weird because I can tolerate some strong skin products like The Ordinary 30% glycolic acid with great results.

[@ericaamaral6504]

I am a licensed aesthetician and we carry this line in our medspa. This isn’t a moisturizer so to categorize it as such is wrong. It is a treatment “serum” to use prior to these invasive treatments to aid in the healing and building of collagen. It is meant to be used 2-3 weeks before the procedure and 2-3 weeks after. You can then transition to a normal serum or skin care product. To discount the recommendation of an esthetician or other service care provider just because they aren’t dermatologist preforming the treatment perpetuates the idea we are less than. We all have a place in the skin care community. We go to school and do continuing education to help our clients with their skin. We aren’t just recommending products because we want commission. I agree it is a very high price point and can recommend other products if price is the sole factor of not purchasing it but we also have to manage expectations with the less than products. I like it I’ve used it myself and have recommended it to my clients for various invasive treatments and they also love it and see a difference. It’s not for everyone but if you can afford it it is a great line/product

[@Musicmelishere]

This product worked like magic for me, which is strange because it is hard for me to find peptides that work well for me. I guess it depends on the person’s skin and dna that determines the effectiveness of product

[@NNeva10]

The Nectar is meant to be used 2 weeks prior to a treatment (laser,peel, etc) and 2 weeks after. The restorative complex is the “sister product” of nectar that can used after 2 weeks post treatment onwards. The ultra light moisturizer is the moisturizer that is post-treatment safe and for regular use. If you don’t plan on doing laser or chemical peel treatments, the nectar wouldn’t be your product of choice. The restorative complex would be a better option to help improve your skin. I’ve done the training for all of their products and you really need to understand the purpose or each product and its benefits. You can mix and match some items or cycle them depending on what your lifestyle is like. Skin care lines design their products to work in congruence with each other. You can’t just review one product.

I bought it and used it recently for Morpheus 8 RF microneedling as it was recommended. I healed very quickly so I think it was good but I'm not sure how it would have been if I hadn't used it before and after. It's very pricey and I'm hoping I will have enough left for the 3 Morpheus treatments I will get.

[@jbridges9574]

I used it after my first treatment but not after my 2nd because I couldn’t afford it then not after my 3rd because I didn’t see anything different by not using it for treatment #2. Cerave moisturizer and healing ointment worked just fine for me. The nectar feels amazing and indulgent but not worth the $ for me. As always YMMV.

Dr. Dray, I will be starting Efudex 'chemo-cream' treatment next month. What product or products do you recommend to utilize before/ during/ post treatment? I see a lot of professionals recommending Alastin Regen Skin Nectar but its so pricey. Most users state they utilize 2-3 oz over the 9 week period. OUCH! Keep up the stellar videos.

[@lisinbondi1240]

Could you please do a review of skin cycling? I know it is kind of complex but I feel like it works especially as you introduce or even use Tretinoin in the long term Appreciate your thoughts. And love watching your message reach so many people these days. Keep growing !

I love your content!

@Dr Dray what do you think of the KAHI wrinkle bounce stick balm?

[@hotmessmomtv4117]

I appreciate how silicone can be so beneficial; but I'm hoping for your insight. Barring a post-procedural situation, I have to avoid any silicone-based skin care/sunscreens, since I use water-based foundation and primer, and silicone and water based don't layer well together (silicone based makes my face feel suffocated/worsens my acne). It is so challenging to find products I can use, much less a product line, because so many products are silicone based, and some websites don't even list their ingredients. Do you know of any product lines that are never silicone-based, or any websites that make that distinction between the two more clear? Any tips are so much appreciated 🙏🙏

[@ninakara585]

Not sure if you’re still wondering about non silicone products but I know the brand drunk elephant doesn’t use any silicones

Thanks for this informative video Dr. Dray. Have been following your channel since last 2 months and you are doing such amazing work to explain minute details. So I have been booked for Face Subcision + PRP for my Acne Scarring and the Physician has recommended Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar and Alastin Sooth + Protect Recovery Balm for recovery. Do you recommend I use only Nectar and mix it with Cerave Healing Ointment, as both above Alastin Products are extremely pricey here in Toronto. Appreciate your knowledge and help

[@kuklakid]

I used it after a procedure and I thought it was a complete waste of money.

Hi! I just bought the restorative skin complex and I had a bad reaction to it and I haven't had any procedures done so it wasn't from anything else! I was hoping it would be a Holy Grail face serum but it turned out the opposite for me! So many people love their products so I don't know why this happened!!

[@Crazyarchfiend]

Do you have any cost effective recommendation that are similar? I love the product but I can’t justify spending this much anymore

[@laurenv2003]

Dr Dray, I was wondering if you had an opinion on Obagi's Elastaderm facial serum when it's on sale for $149??

[@PountyPout]

Also can you post links to the studies you mentioned? Thank you!

Do you have a recommendation for a less pricey product for post procedure application?

[@reversemedussa382]

I want to know Dr.Dray’s opinion on natural Loofah’s. I use one and it’s great but I’m concerned about bacteria growing in the moist fibers in between showers. I use Panoxal’s benzoyl peroxide on folds of the skin and my chest and back for odor and mild acne. If I use the product all over, could it replace the cleansing I have to do with the loofah? Thanks!

[@melissac4720]

What color & brand is your eyeshadow?- it’s so pretty!

[@hulyalala946]

Can you do a video about truth treatments 5% retinol? Some youtubers say that it's more effective than tretinoin. I'm very curious about your thoughts.

[@jenhuynh7742]

Why do I always break out after laser resurfacing procedures?

[@Alexellis738]

Where is the best place to store sunscreen? My room gets warm no higher than 78. Should I store them in a drawer or leave them near a fan? (No light in my room during the day I don’t have a window).

[@DrDrayzday]

Room temperature, in a dry place

Was looking forward to this video :) but before I continue watching, I feel I need to clarify a major point: what is that cute pink poofy thing resting by the pumpkin?!:-)

What about the reformulation of Avene’s Cicalfate+ Hydrating Skin Recovery Emulsion (post procedure)?

[@suzanneparcelewicz4078]

How does Alastin's Restorative Neck Complex compare to Necktifirm? I've googled trying to find comparisons but can't find anything.

Is this product just to use after procedure. I thought I can just used it to improve my wrinkles. Can you explain
