Alpha-H New Exfoliating Body Treatment Review: My Mum Tried This On Her Dry And Red Skin
Jordi is our Brand Marketing Coordinator for Skincare and Wellness. She loves skincare (obviously) and is always looking for the newest beauty trends on Tiktok.
If there is one brand that has been consistently included in my skincare routine for years, it's Alpha-H.
I'm a fan of trying new products and making sure I have an array of different brands in my routine, but for good reason, Alpha-H is always in there.
I love their Liquid Gold and Midnight Reboot for my once or twice a week exfoliation, but my real hero is the famous Alpha-H Cleansing Balm. That silky smooth formula is *chefs kiss*.
Alpha-H are known for their innovation in exfoliation, so when my mum asked me a couple months back what I recommend for her dry skin and redness, my ears pricked up.
I had insider knowledge that Alpha-H were bringing their exfoliation expertise from face to body and were about to release their new Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment.
So who better than to give it a whirl than my beautiful mum!

My Mum's Alpha-H Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment Review:
So mum was after a product for her dry and red skin, mostly around her arms and decolletage area as well as to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
She started using the Alpha-H Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment twice a week in the PM and after two weeks of usage noticed visible change saying:
“The most change I noticed was around my hands, they were looking visibly more hydrated and less wrinkly which was amazing!”
Mum decided to up her usage to three nights a week, but felt a little but more irritation and itching due to the retinol, so pulled back down to two nights/week.
If your skin is sensitive to retinol, we suggest you do the same.
Overall, she has been super impressed with the Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment, and is keen to continue use, especially around her neck area.
Now she knows what her body can tolerate and has seen visible results, she will continue to use it as part of her PM routine twice a week!
She also said she loved that the formula was quite quick to absorb and she didn't feel that it would linger on the skin, especially when she put on her PJs and got into bed.
Mum also mentioned that the scent was floral but not overpowering, but she was surprised the scent did pleasantly surprise her due to the nature of the product being a retinol and acid combination.
Alpha-H have also launched a lightweight, daily use body lotion so we road-tested this one too!

Alpha-H Daily Dose Multivitamin Body Serum Review:
After mum had some itchiness from slightly overdoing it on the Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment, I gave her my Daily Dose Multivitamin Body Serum to try.
Initially, I had been using it for a few weeks as I too have very dry skin, but am not a massive fan of thick moisturisers on my body, especially at night and in warmer weather. So a body serum has always sparked my interest.
My absolute favourite part of this was its non-sticky and quick drying formula, perfect for when you're rushing out the door in the morning and you don't want to feel sticky!
I gave this to mum to try as it contains niacinamide and vitamin E to soothe and relieve after using the Retinol Reboot serum. She also noticed how quick drying it is and did notice it soothed her skin on those weeks she over did it on the retinol.
She preferred using both the products in her routine as she liked the idea of soothing and hydrating the skin the morning after using the retinol so she has officially *stolen* my bottle.
Looks like I need to get myself a new one!
Final Thoughts:
Once an Alpha-H fan, always an Alpha-H fan.
Alpha-H has once again proven that they are the leaders in gentle, effective and high quality exfoliating treatments.
Both mum and I have been genuinely impressed with both their new body innovations, particularly the Retinol Reboot Body Serum.
This is the perfect product for someone who is looking to see visible change in their skin on their body, especially in redness or uneven skin tone or those wanting noticing signs of ageing.
