- Improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sun-related damage
- Helps even the look of skin tone and refine visible texture
- A retinoid experience formulated for comfortable, tolerable nightly use
All skin types
AlphaRet Overnight Cream is a nightly anti-aging moisturizer built around AlphaRet, a patented technology that links a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid into a single molecule, ethyl lactyl retinoate. Instead of layering two notoriously irritating actives, this conjugate delivers retinoid renewal and gentle exfoliation together, with a buffered release that supports tolerance over time. Worn overnight, when skin naturally shifts into repair mode, it helps soften the look of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven tone while you sleep.
What sets this cream apart is the balance between active renewal and comfort. Many retinoids can leave skin feeling dry or sensitized; here, the same step that supports renewal also nourishes and protects. Antioxidants help shield skin from daily environmental stress, while ceramides, squalane and hyaluronic acid reinforce the barrier and keep skin hydrated and calm. Rather than choosing between a treatment and a moisturizer, you get both in a single evening step. With consistent use, the look of fine lines and uneven tone softens gradually, and skin appears smoother, firmer and more rested over time.
Directions
- In the evening, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin on the face, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- When introducing a retinoid, begin every other night and gradually build to nightly use as your skin adjusts.
- Follow with a moisturizer if needed to support comfort and the skin barrier.
- Because retinoids increase sun sensitivity, finish every morning with a broad-spectrum SPF 50.
Expert tip: use EyeMax AlphaRet Overnight Cream for the delicate eye area, and AlphaRet Clearing Serum for oilier, blemish-prone skin.
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.
