Product Description
SkinBetter Science Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream is a high-performance retinoid treatment designed to deliver powerful skin rejuvenation with minimal irritation. Featuring the brand’s patented AlphaRet® Technology, this innovative formula combines a retinoid with an alpha hydroxy acid to accelerate skin renewal, refine texture, and visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
This intensive version of AlphaRet includes a higher level of glycolic acid to provide enhanced exfoliation and skin resurfacing benefits, helping improve uneven tone, sun damage, and rough texture.
The formula is also enriched with peptides, ceramides, squalane, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to support the skin barrier, replenish moisture, and counteract the dryness often associated with retinoid treatments. With continued use, skin appears smoother, firmer, and more radiant, revealing a more youthful-looking complexion.
