Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream

Intensive AlphaRet is where Savanna sends her clients once the original has done its job. More strength, more results, and still none of the peeling and redness that come with most retinoids.

Apply at night to clean, dry skin once your skin is fully comfortable with the original AlphaRet. Pair with Even Tone Correcting Serum to also target the look of hyperpigmentation.

Should I start with Intensive AlphaRet or the original?
Start with the original AlphaRet Overnight Cream if you're new to retinoids. Intensive is for skin that's already happy with the original and ready for more.

What's the difference between AlphaRet and Intensive AlphaRet?
Same patented AlphaRet technology, higher strength. You get more visible results on wrinkles, texture and tone, with less irritation than you'd expect from a stronger retinoid.

How do I use Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream?
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin at night. Start with two or three nights a week and build up as your skin adjusts. SPF every morning is non-negotiable!

Is Intensive AlphaRet safe to use with other actives?
Keep it simple on the nights you use it. Skip other exfoliating acids and let AlphaRet do the work. If you're pairing it with a brightening serum, apply that first.

How much retinol is in Intensive AlphaRet?
AlphaRet isn't a retinol. It's a retinoid bonded to lactic acid in one patented molecule, and SkinBetter doesn't publish a percentage. Intensive AlphaRet steps up the glycolic acid instead, which is where the extra resurfacing comes from.

AlphaRet: a unique combination of a retinoid and an AHA (lactic acid).

Glycolic Acid: SkinBetter's highest level of glycolic acid, to help retexturize and increase the efficacy of AlphaRet.

Targeted Peptide Blend: helps smooth the appearance of wrinkles, skin firmness and resiliency.

Ultra Hydrating Blend of Ceramides, Squalane, Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid: helps to counteract dryness, providing hydration and moisture.

Allantoin Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Bisabolol, and Green Tea Extract: ingredients with calming properties that also help reduce the appearance of redness.

Vitamins C & E and CoEnzyme Q10: provide antioxidant protection.
