If there is one product in the Skinbetter Science lineup that has truly earned its reputation, it is this one. The Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Overnight Cream is the number one dermatologist recommended non-prescription retinoid brand among medical aesthetic skincare brands, and with ten years of clinical results behind it, that distinction is well deserved. This is a retinoid that actually delivers, without asking your skin to suffer through the irritation that so often comes with traditional retinoid products.
 
What It Does
At the heart of this overnight cream is patented AlphaRet Technology, a groundbreaking formulation that successfully combines a retinoid with an alpha hydroxy acid, specifically lactic acid, into a single, elegant formula. These two gold standard skin rejuvenation ingredients work together to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, refine uneven skin tone and texture, and support overall skin renewal overnight. Clinical results show significant improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in as little as four weeks, with little to no irritation. The formula also provides meaningful hydration to help counteract the dryness that is commonly associated with traditional retinoid products, and features a blend of antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals while you sleep.
 
Who It's Best For
AlphaRet Overnight Cream is formulated for all skin types, including those who have tried retinoids in the past and struggled with redness, peeling, or sensitivity. It is an excellent choice for patients who are ready to incorporate a clinically proven anti-aging treatment into their routine but want something that is both highly effective and highly tolerable. Whether you are just beginning your retinoid journey or looking to upgrade from a product that has been causing irritation, this is a wonderful place to be.
 
When to Use
Use as part of your evening skincare regimen after cleansing. Apply a thin layer to a clean, dry face, spreading evenly and avoiding the eye area. Follow with any additional Skinbetter Science products in your evening routine. During the day, be sure to protect your skin with a sunbetter sunscreen for daily sun protection and to support your results.
 
Good to Know
All Skinbetter Science products, including the AlphaRet Overnight Cream, are dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic, paraben free, fragrance free, dye free, and cruelty free. It pairs beautifully with the Alto Advanced + Defense Serum in the morning for antioxidant protection, and with the Ampra Volumizing Macro HA Serum or Mystro Revive Renewing Serum as part of a comprehensive evening routine. This is truly one of those products that changes the way patients think about what a retinoid can feel like.
