skinbetter Science Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream

Retinoids encourage skin cell turnover and are beneficial for numerous skin health and anti-aging goals, but Dr. Lent cautions that not all retinoids are created equal. The skinbetter Science Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream combines retinoid with lactic acid, a form of alpha hydroxy acid, as well as niacinamide and ceramides to soothe skin and prevent irritation that may occur with retinoid use. This dermatologist-recommended retinoid delivers dramatic results by promoting skin cell turnover and collagen and elastin production, but the ceramides and soothing actives make it gentle enough for daily use. Perfect for dry, hyperpigmented, or aging skin. Many people with sensitive skin types tolerate this retinoid when introduced gradually as part of the evening skincare routine.

• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improves skin texture and skin tone.
