AlphaRet Overnight Cream
by skinbetter science

A considered next step for skin that's ready for more. AlphaRet Overnight Cream brings together a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid (lactic acid) in skinbetter science's patented AlphaRet Technology — a double-conjugated formulation designed to deliver the visible renewal associated with retinoids, with little of the irritation, dryness or flaking that can accompany them.

Worn overnight, it works while you rest: softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, refining uneven tone and texture, and leaving skin looking smoother and fresher by morning. A blend of antioxidants — including vitamins C and E and Coenzyme Q10 — helps defend against the free radicals of everyday life, while ceramides, squalane, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid cushion the skin with moisture, so renewal feels comfortable rather than compromising.

The result is a retinoid you can wear nightly. High efficacy, high tolerability, formulated for all skin types.

The ingredients, and what they do

• AlphaRet (retinoid + lactic acid) — the core technology, supporting the look of skin renewal with a gentler tolerability profile
• Glycolic acid — helps refine texture and smooth the surface
• Targeted peptide blend — supports a firmer, more resilient-looking complexion
• Ceramides, squalane, niacinamide & hyaluronic acid — replenish moisture and support the skin barrier
• Allantoin, bisabolol & green tea extract — calming botanicals that help soften the look of redness
• Vitamins C & E and Coenzyme Q10 — antioxidant support

The evidence
AlphaRet Technology is supported by published, dermatologist-led clinical research, including studies showing visible improvement in the appearance of fine lines, uneven tone and texture across a range of skin types and Fitzpatrick phototypes — alongside a strong tolerability profile.

How to use
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area, then follow with the rest of your evening routine. Because this formula contains both an AHA and a retinoid, daily sun protection is essential — pair it with a broad-spectrum SPF each morning.

Please note: Contains a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid. AHAs can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun; use sun protection daily and for a week afterwards. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy, speak with your doctor before use. If your skin is new to retinoids, introduce gradually.
