Who is this serum designed for?

It's tailored to oily and blemish-prone skin looking to improve clarity and texture. It combines retinoid and acid technologies to target breakouts while also smoothing and refining the skin's surface.

How and when do I use it?

Cleanse thoroughly in the evening, then apply one to two pumps to dry skin, avoiding the eye area, and use it nightly. Because it contains AHAs, daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is a must.

What is AlphaRet technology?

AlphaRet is SkinBetter's patented pairing of a retinoid bonded with lactic acid, engineered to deliver retinoid benefits like smoother texture and improved clarity with less of the irritation retinoids are often known for.

How does it help with breakouts specifically?

It includes salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid that exfoliates inside the pore to help clear congestion, plus niacinamide and zinc PCA to calm redness and support balanced-looking skin.

Can I use it if I'm pregnant?

Retinoids are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We'd suggest pausing use and consulting your doctor or dermatologist for advice suited to your situation.
