About this product
The reason AlphaRet gets talked about is tolerability. Traditional retinoids ask you to trade months of flaking and redness for the results you want, and most people quit during that trade. AlphaRet's patented technology bonds the retinoid to a lactic acid, which is what allows it to be used nightly by most skin types without the classic retinization period.
It is a nightly step, applied to clean dry skin, and it works on texture, tone and the look of fine lines over consistent use. If you have never used a retinoid, this is a sensible place to begin. If you have used one and stopped because of irritation, this is the one worth trying again.
If you are having a treatment
Chemical peels
If you are booked for a peel or a laser, stop using this about five to seven days beforehand and tell your provider you use a retinoid. Pausing beforehand is standard practice, and going back on too early is the usual reason treated skin gets irritated. Your provider will tell you when to restart.
Why buy from a practice
- We are an authorized retailer, buying direct from the manufacturer.
- Dispensary-only brands are among the most counterfeited in beauty. Marketplace listings sit outside the authorized channel.
- Your provider can build the rest of the routine around what you are actually having done.
