Product details
A closer look.
What it offers, how to use it and the details worth knowing.
The Skinbetter Science Volumizing & Resurfacing Duo pairs Ampra Volumizing Macro HA Serum (15 ml) with AlphaRet Overnight Cream (15 ml), with a travel pouch. Two patented technologies, each with a clear role. Ampra is a silky serum built around HYAsync technology, which bonds two weights of hyaluronic acid with alpha lipoic acid, plus a peptide and teff extract. It helps skin look plumper, smoother and more contoured. AlphaRet Overnight Cream combines a retinoid bonded to lactic acid with glycolic acid, peptides and ceramides to smooth the look of rough texture, fine lines and wrinkles. Use Ampra morning and evening, and AlphaRet in the evening after Ampra. Because AlphaRet contains a retinoid and alpha hydroxy acids, introduce it gradually and wear a daily sunscreen.
Why you’ll love it.
Skin can look less full and more textured at the same time, and these concerns need different tools. Ampra focuses on visible plumpness and contour, while AlphaRet brings resurfacing to the evening. Each formula stays in its lane, which makes the ritual easy to follow. We like it for clients who want hydration and renewal in one focused routine.
Pairs well with.
