Product Description
SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads are powerful resurfacing treatment pads designed to improve skin clarity, texture, and tone. Featuring the brand’s patented AlphaRet® Technology—a unique combination of a retinoid and alpha hydroxy acid—these pads deliver effective exfoliation while remaining gentle enough for regular use.
The formula is enhanced with a triple-acid blend of glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids that helps dissolve dead skin cells, unclog pores, and accelerate cell turnover. This advanced exfoliating system helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and rough patches while supporting smoother, more refined skin.
With consistent use, AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads reveal a brighter, more even complexion while improving the look of skin imperfections and preventing congestion that can lead to breakouts. Individually packaged pads make it easy to incorporate this professional-strength exfoliating treatment into your evening skincare routine.
