How is this different from regular AlphaRet Overnight Cream?

The Intensive formula contains a higher concentration of AlphaRet technology for more dramatic anti-aging results, making it ideal for experienced retinoid users or those seeking maximum efficacy.

Can I use this if I'm new to retinoids?

This is best for those with retinoid experience. If you're new to retinoids, we recommend starting with the original AlphaRet Overnight Cream and advancing to Intensive after 3-6 months.

Should I expect peeling or irritation?

Some initial dryness or mild peeling is normal as your skin adjusts. Start slowly and always use SPF. Discontinue if severe irritation occurs and consult our skincare specialists.

When will I see results?

Most clients notice improved texture within 2-4 weeks, with continued improvement in fine lines and firmness over 8-12 weeks of consistent use.

About AlphaRet® Intensive Overnight Cream

AlphaRet® Intensive Overnight Cream delivers the most potent concentration of skinbetter science's patented AlphaRet technology in a rich, nourishing overnight treatment. This advanced formula combines a unique retinoid with alpha hydroxy acids to accelerate cellular turnover while you sleep, helping to visibly reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and restore radiance without the irritation typically associated with high-strength retinoids. The intensive cream base provides deep hydration with ceramides, peptides, and antioxidants to support the skin barrier during the renewal process. Clinical studies demonstrate significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness after consistent use. This premium anti-aging treatment is ideal for experienced retinoid users seeking maximum results or those ready to advance from gentler formulations.

How to Use

Apply 1-2 pumps to clean, dry face and neck in the evening only. Start with 2-3 times per week and gradually increase to nightly use as tolerated. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF during the day. Do not use with other retinoid products. Allow 2-3 weeks for skin adaptation.

Pro Tip from Our Clinicians

Perfect for post-procedure recovery after treatments like Morpheus8 or CO2 laser. Begin use 1-2 weeks after healing is complete to enhance collagen remodeling and extend treatment results. Schedule your complimentary SkinIQ analysis to determine if this concentration is right for your skin.
