skinbetter science AlphaRet Clearing Serum is the physician-developed multitasking retinoid serum specifically formulated for oily and blemish-prone skin — uniquely combining AlphaRet Technology (the patented double-conjugated retinoid + lactic acid) with Salicylic Acid (BHA) to simultaneously address anti-aging, skin clarity, pore minimization, and oil balance in a single nightly formula.

AlphaRet Technology (Ethyl Lactyl Retinoate) delivers retinoid anti-aging benefits — cell turnover acceleration, collagen stimulation, and wrinkle reduction — with dramatically lower irritation than traditional retinol products, making it suitable for acne-prone skin that is particularly sensitive to retinoid-induced barrier disruption. Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble and penetrates the pore lining to dissolve excess sebum and cellular debris, reducing blackheads, congestion, and acne breakouts at the source. Glycolic Acid provides additional surface exfoliation. Niacinamide balances sebum production and reduces inflammatory redness. The dual AHA/BHA + retinoid combination addresses the three root causes of blemish-prone skin — cell turnover dysfunction, pore congestion, and excess oil — simultaneously.

Apply in the evening after cleansing. Begin 2–3 evenings per week, increase to nightly as tolerated. Not for use during pregnancy. Use daily SPF 30+. Paraben-free, fragrance-free. Available at Beauty Riche — authorized skinbetter science retailer with same-day shipping.
