Product details
A closer look.
What it offers, how to use it and the details worth knowing.
Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream is an evening cream that brings retinoid care and gentle exfoliation together in one step. At its centre is AlphaRet, a patented molecule that joins a retinoid with lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid. Glycolic acid helps refine the look of rough texture, while peptides support a smoother, firmer-looking surface. Ceramide NP, squalane, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid help counter the dryness that often comes with retinoid use. Vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10 and green tea add antioxidant support. The result is an active night cream designed with comfort in mind, for skin that wants to look smoother and more even.
Why you’ll love it.
Retinoids work best when skin can tolerate them night after night. AlphaRet is built around that idea, pairing renewal with a generous moisturizing blend. It covers several visible concerns in a single evening step, which keeps a routine simple. We like it for anyone who wants smoother, more even-looking skin without a complicated regimen.
Pairs well with.

Your questions, answered.
Is AlphaRet a retinol?
It contains a retinoid, ethyl lactyl retinoate, which differs from conventional retinol. A retinol percentage is not a useful way to describe its strength.
Can I use it every night?
It is designed for nightly use once your skin is comfortable. Start a few evenings a week if you are new to retinoids.
Can I use it around my eyes?
No. Use EyeMax AlphaRet Overnight Cream, which is formulated for the eye area.
Do I need sunscreen?
Yes. It contains a retinoid and alpha hydroxy acids, so wear sunscreen every day and for a week after you stop.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
It contains a topical retinoid. Speak with your physician before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy.
