SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream — 1.7 fl oz (50 mL)
Renew. Smooth. Strengthen.
This advanced overnight cream features the proprietary AlphaRet Technology—a unique conjugate combining a retinoid with an AHA—to deliver powerful renewal while minimizing irritation. Designed for nightly use, it works to visibly improve signs of aging such as fine lines, uneven texture and tone, while deeply nourishing and supporting the skin barrier.
Why It Works
- Combines retinoid + AHA (glycolic/lactic acid) for potent resurfacing and renewal.
- Hydrating and barrier-supportive ingredients: ceramide NP, squalane, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid to reduce dryness often associated with retinoids.
- Soothing botanical and antioxidant blend: bisabolol, glycyrrhetinic acid, green tea extract, vitamins C & E, CoQ10 – to calm and protect.
How to Use
- In the Evening: After cleansing and any treatment serums, apply a thin layer of AlphaRet Overnight Cream to the face (and neck if desired), avoiding eye area.
- Let it absorb thoroughly.
- In the Morning: Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF) – since retinoids + AHAs increase sun sensitivity.
- If new to active renewal formulas, start every other night and increase based on skin’s tolerance.
- Avoid heavy layering of multiple exfoliants on the same night unless instructed by a skincare professional.

Ideal for individuals with visible signs of aging (fine lines, uneven tone, rough texture) who are comfortable using strong active formulations. Also suitable for those who used retinoids before but found them drying—this formula balances renewal with barrier care.
Caution: Because this product combines potent actives (retinoid + AHA), daily sunscreen is essential, and use during pregnancy or nursing should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
