SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Clearing Serum — 1.7 fl oz (50 mL)
Clear-Skin Clarity Meets Advanced Renewal
This award-winning serum combines the patented AlphaRet Technology—a unique pairing of a retinoid and lactic acid—with salicylic acid, zinc PCA and a calming botanical complex to target oily, blemish-prone skin without the typical dryness or flaking. Designed to improve clarity, refine pores, balance oiliness and smooth texture for a healthier-looking, more even complexion.
Key Benefits
- Improves the appearance of skin clarity, pore size, shine and overall tone/texture.
- Helps refine oily or blemish-prone skin with exfoliating plus skin-balancing ingredients (salicylic acid, lactic acid, zinc PCA) while supporting barrier health.
- Formulated to be dermatologist-tested, paraben-free, fragrance-free, dye-free and cruelty-free—suitable for use when you’re maintaining clear skin and texture.
How to Use
- In the evening, after cleansing and drying your face, apply a thin layer of the serum to the face (avoiding the eye area).
- Follow with moisturizer if needed.
- In the morning, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen, since exfoliating and retinoid-based products increase sun sensitivity.
- If you’re new to active treatments, start 2-3 nights per week and gradually increase as your skin tolerates.
