AlphaRet Clearing Serum

A nightly retinoid serum for oilier, blemish-prone skin that helps refine the look of pores, balance surface oil, and improve clarity, tone, and texture with a combination of AlphaRet technology and salicylic acid.

What Is AlphaRet Clearing Serum?

AlphaRet Clearing Serum pairs skinbetter science’s patented AlphaRet technology-a retinoid combined with an alpha hydroxy acid-with salicylic acid and supporting hydrators. It is designed for clients who want the visible skin-renewing benefits of a retinoid while also addressing the appearance of congestion, enlarged pores, shine, and uneven texture.

The formula includes ingredients selected to support hydration and comfort while the exfoliating ingredients help promote a smoother, clearer-looking complexion. It is intended for cosmetic skincare use and is not an acne medication.

Key benefits?
