Oilier and blemish-prone skin
AlphaRet Clearing Serum brings the patented AlphaRet retinoid to a lightweight formula made for oilier, blemish-prone skin. Where the Overnight Cream focuses on nightly renewal and cushioned hydration, this serum is built for clarity: it combines AlphaRet, ethyl lactyl retinoate, with salicylic acid, an oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that travels into the pore lining to help dissolve the buildup behind clogged-looking pores and an uneven surface.
With oilier, blemish-prone skin, the hard part is staying clear without over-stripping. This serum is built around that balance: calming ingredients and a light layer of hydration offset the exfoliating actives, so skin stays comfortable rather than tight. Its weightless texture absorbs quickly and layers easily, without the richness of a cream. With regular evening use, skin gradually looks clearer and smoother, pores appear more refined and the complexion looks healthier over time.
Directions
- In the evening, apply to clean, dry skin, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- Begin every other night and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin adjusts to the retinoid.
- If needed, follow with a lightweight moisturizer; as the retinoid can feel drying at first, this helps support comfort and the skin barrier.
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning, as exfoliating acids and retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
Expert tip: reserve AlphaRet Overnight Cream for drier or more mature skin, and add EyeMax AlphaRet Overnight Cream for the delicate eye area.
Caution: this product contains a topical retinoid. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy, speak with your physician or healthcare professional before adding it to your routine. Combining it with other exfoliating products may increase the risk of irritation.
