If you have ever wanted the benefits of an in-office peel from the comfort of your own home, these are for you. The AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads deliver professional-level exfoliation in a simple, individually packaged pad that takes just seconds to use. They are one of Skinbetter Science's most awarded products, and for good reason.
What It Does
These pads feature Skinbetter's patented AlphaRet molecule, a unique combination of a retinoid and an AHA, paired with a triple-acid blend of glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids. Think of it as getting the skin-renewing benefits of a retinoid and the exfoliating power of three acids all in one step. The lactic acid promotes exfoliation while simultaneously providing moisture to support hydration, glycolic acid promotes surface exfoliation, and salicylic acid works within the pore to reduce its appearance and help prevent buildup. Together, they visibly smooth texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve clarity, and leave skin looking brighter and more radiant. In clinical studies, 100% of patients experienced noticeable improvements in skin brightness, smoothness, and radiance after just three weeks of use.
Who It's Best For
These pads are a great fit for anyone looking to address fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, dullness, enlarged-looking pores, or discoloration. They are especially effective for boosting results and smoothing texture when used alongside other Skinbetter treatments like the AlphaRet Overnight Cream. Those newer to retinoids may find this to be a wonderful, more tolerable introduction to retinoid use, as the formulation is designed to be gentler than traditional retinol products. If you have very sensitive skin or are already using a daily retinoid, we recommend consulting with one of our providers before adding these to your routine to avoid over-exfoliation.
When to Use
Evening only, up to three times per week. After cleansing, gently apply to skin in small circular motions on the face, neck, and décolleté, avoiding the lip and eye areas. Do not rinse after application, and wait a few minutes before applying any additional skincare. Because these pads contain AHAs, daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential while using them.
Good to Know
Each pad is individually packaged to protect the AlphaRet molecule, prevent the pad from drying out, and make them convenient for travel and on-the-go use. All Skinbetter Science products are dermatologist tested, paraben free, fragrance free, dye free, and cruelty free. Each box contains 30 pads, which at three times per week provides about a 10-week supply.
