skinbetter science® AlphaRet® Clearing Serum

A retinoid-based serum for oilier, blemish-prone skin that also wants to stay youthful-looking. It clarifies the complexion and improves the appearance of pores, tone and texture.

Key benefits

• Clarifies the look of oily, blemish-prone skin
• Refines the appearance of pores
• Improves overall tone and texture
• Helps maintain a youthful-looking complexion

Best for
Oily, combination and blemish-prone skin, including adults dealing with both breakouts and early signs of ageing.

How to use
In the evening, after cleansing, apply a thin layer over the face, avoiding the eyes and lips. Start every other night and build to nightly use as tolerated, then follow with a light moisturiser. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning while using this product and for a week afterwards. Patch test on a small area before first use; mild tingling can occur as skin adjusts, but stop if irritation persists.

The science behind the formula
Patented AlphaRet® technology, a retinoid joined with an alpha hydroxy acid, supports renewal with low irritation. Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), works inside the pore to clarify, supported by additional pore-cleansing, hydrating and soothing ingredients.

Clinic tip
Resist the urge to layer it with other spot treatments at first; give your skin four to six weeks of consistent use. Pause it for around a week before peels, microneedling or laser.
