Product details
A closer look.
The Skinbetter Science Tone & Texture Duo pairs Even Intensive Skin Tone Correcting Serum (15 ml) with AlphaRet Overnight Cream (15 ml), with a travel pouch. It is a focused ritual for skin that looks uneven, dull or textured. Even Intensive is a multi-action serum with niacinamide, alpha-arbutin, tranexamic acid and phenylethyl resorcinol, supported by gentle alpha hydroxy acids and antioxidants. It helps visibly fade the look of dark spots and supports a brighter, more uniform tone. AlphaRet Overnight Cream combines a retinoid bonded to lactic acid with glycolic acid, peptides and ceramides to smooth the look of rough texture and fine lines. Use Even Intensive morning and evening, and AlphaRet in the evening. Both formulas contain alpha hydroxy acids, so introduce them gradually if your skin is sensitive and wear a daily sunscreen.
Why you’ll love it.
Uneven tone and rough texture often show up together, and they respond best to two different approaches. Even Intensive works on the look of spots and dullness, while AlphaRet refines the surface overnight. The result is a ritual that feels intentional, not crowded. We like it for clients who want a brighter, smoother-looking complexion with a clear plan.
