SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Clearing Serum — 1.0 fl oz

Refine blemish-prone skin with clarity and comfort.
This clinically advanced serum leverages the patented AlphaRet Technology—a unique combination of retinoid and lactic acid—plus salicylic acid, niacinamide, zinc PCA and botanicals to visibly improve skin clarity, refine pores, and smooth texture without heavy flaking or dryness.

Key Benefits

  • Targets blemishes, oiliness and visible pores, while improving overall tone and texture.
  • Combines exfoliating acids (lactic, salicylic) and a next-gen retinoid for effective renewal with better tolerance.
  • Formulated with oil-balancing zinc PCA and soothing botanicals (ginger root, green tea extract) to support problem skin.

How to Use

  1. In the evening, after cleansing and toning, apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin—avoid the eye area.
  2. Use alone or under moisturizer; follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen the next morning (acid + retinoid increase sun sensitivity).
  3. Start with every other night if you’re new to active treatments, and increase as tolerated.
  4. Avoid simultaneous use of other strong exfoliants on the same night to reduce risk of irritation.
