About AlphaRet® Clearing Serum

AlphaRet® Clearing Serum delivers SkinBetter Science's patented AlphaRet Technology in a specialized formula designed for acne-prone and congested skin. This advanced serum combines a retinoid with alpha hydroxy acids and salicylic acid to simultaneously address breakouts, texture irregularities, and signs of aging without the irritation typically associated with traditional retinoids. The unique formulation includes niacinamide to minimize pore appearance and reduce excess oil production, while botanical extracts help calm inflammation. Unlike harsh acne treatments that can strip and damage the skin barrier, this serum works to refine skin texture and promote cellular turnover while maintaining hydration. The result is visibly clearer, smoother skin with improved tone and reduced appearance of post-acne marks. Ideal for patients dealing with adult acne, hormonal breakouts, or those wanting to address both acne and aging concerns simultaneously. This 30ml bottle provides approximately 2-3 months of nightly use when applied as directed.

How to Use

Apply evenings only to clean, dry skin. Start by using 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing to nightly use as tolerated. Apply a pea-sized amount to face, avoiding the eye area. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ during the day. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency of use. Allow 2-3 minutes before applying moisturizer.

Pro Tip from Our Clinicians

Perfect to use after our SkinPen microneedling or chemical peel treatments once skin has fully healed. The gentle retinoid technology helps maintain results while preventing future breakouts. For sensitive skin, alternate nights with a hydrating serum until tolerance builds.
