About Skinbetter Science

Skinbetter Science was founded in 2016 by a team with deep expertise in aesthetic medicine and dermatology, built around a single ambition: to develop formulas that work harder without asking skin to tolerate more. The brand applies biotechnology to skincare at a level rarely seen outside clinical settings, combining novel ingredient technologies with rigorous clinical testing and ongoing collaboration with dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and aesthetic physicians.

The brand's most recognized innovation is its patented AlphaRet technology, a molecular combination of a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid that delivers the anti-aging efficacy of a retinoid with significantly less of the irritation typically associated with retinol. Alongside AlphaRet, the Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum introduced a patented Allyl PQQ antioxidant complex, one of the most potent free-radical-neutralizing technologies in modern skincare. The sunbetter SPF line rounds out the system with high-protection, tone-adapting mineral sunscreen designed for daily clinical-level use.

FAQ

What is skinbetter science known for?

skinbetter science is best known for its patented AlphaRet technology — a formulation that combines a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid in a single molecule, delivering high anti-aging efficacy with significantly improved tolerability compared to traditional retinoids. The brand is also recognized for the Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum, built around a patented Allyl PQQ antioxidant complex, and for the sunbetter SPF line, which brings tone-adapting mineral sunscreen technology to the professional skincare market.

What is AlphaRet and how does it work?

AlphaRet is skinbetter science's patented retinoid technology — a unique molecular pairing of a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). By combining the two actives at a molecular level, AlphaRet delivers the collagen-stimulating, skin-renewing benefits of a retinoid while significantly reducing the redness, peeling, and sensitivity that often accompany standard retinol use. It is available in the AlphaRet Overnight Cream, Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream, AlphaRet Clearing Serum, AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads, and AlphaRet Body Overnight Cream.

What is the best skinbetter science product to start with?

For most clients, the AlphaRet Overnight Cream is the strongest entry point into the skinbetter science line — it introduces the brand's signature retinoid technology at a level suitable for most skin types, including those who have struggled with retinol sensitivity. Pairing it with the Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum for daytime antioxidant protection and a sunbetter SPF forms a complete foundational routine. Our estheticians can recommend the right starting point based on your skin history and concerns.

Which skinbetter science products are best for anti-aging?

The AlphaRet Overnight Cream and Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream are skinbetter science's core anti-aging overnight treatments, targeting fine lines, uneven texture, and loss of skin smoothness through the brand's patented retinoid technology. The InterFuse Intensive Treatment LINES addresses expression lines specifically. The Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum supports daytime defense and repair, and the EyeMax AlphaRet Overnight Cream and InterFuse Treatment Cream EYE bring targeted anti-aging care to the eye area.

What is the Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum?

The Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum is skinbetter science's flagship antioxidant serum — a daily treatment built around a patented Allyl PQQ complex, one of the most potent free-radical-neutralizing actives in modern skincare. It also includes plankton extract and Micrococcus lysate to support photodamage repair, vitamins C and E, an anti-pollution complex, and a botanical blend. It is designed as the antioxidant and defense layer in a skinbetter science daytime routine.

What is the sunbetter SPF line?

sunbetter is skinbetter science's mineral sunscreen collection — high-SPF formulas designed to deliver clinical-level protection without the white cast typical of mineral filters. The Tone Smart formulas feature a tone-adapting tint that adjusts to individual skin tones, making them suitable for daily wear alone or as a primer. The Sheer formulas offer a fully untinted, lightweight finish. All sunbetter products are fragrance-free, paraben-free, and dermatologist tested.
