    Best For

    Skin types: Oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin
    Skin concerns: Visible pores, excess oil, blemishes, uneven texture, uneven tone, and signs of skin aging

    This serum is especially well suited to those looking for a retinoid treatment that addresses both skin clarity and visible signs of aging without unnecessarily compromising skin comfort.


    Texture & Finish

    A lightweight treatment serum that absorbs easily into the skin. The finish is clean and comfortable without a heavy or greasy feel, making it well suited to oilier skin types and layered skincare routines.


    The Technology

    Patented AlphaRet Technology combines a retinoid with an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to support skin rejuvenation while emphasizing tolerability. Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), complements the formula by helping address the appearance of pores, oiliness, and blemish-prone skin.


    Sizes: 50ml / 30ml

     

    HOW TO USE

    AM: Use sunbetter® sunscreen as the final step of your morning skincare routine and reapply as directed during the day.

    PM: Use as part of your evening skincare routine. Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin over the entire face, avoiding the eye area.
