Skinbetter Science - AlphaRet Overnight Cream

AlphaRet, the retinoid that does not fight back.

Retinoids work, but they usually come with peeling and irritation. AlphaRet is Skinbetter's award-winning answer: a patented pairing of a retinoid with a gentle acid that delivers real anti-aging results with far less of the usual flaking and redness. Used nightly, it visibly smooths fine lines, evens tone, and refines texture while you sleep.

Why it is worth it
It is one of the most decorated anti-aging products in skincare, and the reason is tolerance: you get prescription-style results from a product most people can actually stick with. Consistency is what delivers results, and this makes it easy.

How it compares
For oily or breakout-prone skin, the AlphaRet Clearing Serum is the version for you. Pair either with the Alto antioxidant by day, the exact combination in the A-Team Duo. This is the flagship nightly retinoid.

Best for: fine lines, texture, and tone in most skin types, including those who found retinoids too harsh before.
Not ideal for: pregnancy, or very reactive skin mid-flare.

How to use
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin at night. Start a few nights a week and build up. Wear sunscreen daily, since retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
