Skinbetter+ AlphaRet Overnight Cream

Overnight alpha hydroxy acid-and-retinoid treatment

An innovative and excitingly new overnight skin treatment product that gives visible skin rejuvenation in four to eight weeks. What does ‘visible rejuvenation’ mean? That you’ll see fresher, firmer, smoother, clearer skin which is better hydrated, too. Here’s what makes this product so different:

• It contains a bioengineered molecule that binds together an alpha hydroxy acid – lactic acid – with a retinoid into a double-conjugated retinoid which then dispenses these ingredients into the skin on a time-release basis. Pause for effect. Normally, any skin expert will tell you not to use an alpha hydroxy acid with a retinoid but here they work together to significantly improve the appearance of wrinkles and improve hydration.
• It manages all this with minimal irritation to the skin (I’ve never found it irritating and I have used it with, shall we say, enthusiasm).
• In addition, the formulation contains a whole bunch of antioxidants including vitamin C, vitamin E, Superoxide Dismutase, and ubiquinone, to scavenge up free radicals.
• On top of all this, there are peptides, for enhancing skin repair, and niacinamide which is soothing and calming, good for improving the skin barrier and boosting hydration.
• Plus squalane, ceramides, and fatty acids which help reinforce the skin barrier and keep moisture in the skin.

Put all that together, and you can see why it’s seen as a wonder-worker and has already an award or two under its belt.
