Product Description
AlphaRet Clearing Serum is an advanced clarifying treatment designed for blemish-prone and oily skin. Powered by patented AlphaRet® Technology combined with salicylic acid, this multitasking serum helps reduce breakouts, unclog pores, and smooth skin texture while improving overall tone and radiance.
skinbetter science AlphaRet Clearing Serum is a powerful resurfacing and clarifying treatment designed for acne-prone and congested skin. This innovative formula combines skinbetter’s patented AlphaRet® Technology, a unique blend of a retinoid and lactic acid, with salicylic acid to target breakouts, refine pores, and improve skin texture without excessive irritation.
The serum works on multiple levels to help reduce blemishes, control excess oil, and promote healthy skin renewal. Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores to clear congestion and reduce breakouts, while lactic acid gently exfoliates the skin’s surface to reveal smoother, brighter skin.
Additional ingredients such as niacinamide, zinc PCA, hyaluronic acid, and botanical extracts help balance oil production, soothe redness, and support hydration, making the formula suitable for daily use on blemish-prone skin. With consistent use, AlphaRet Clearing Serum helps improve skin clarity, refine pores, and create a smoother, healthier-looking complexion.
