SkinBetter AlphaRet Clearing Serum

If your skin runs oilier or breaks out, this is where I would start. The AlphaRet Clearing Serum pairs SkinBetter's signature retinoid technology with salicylic acid to clear and refine, so you get smoother texture, clearer skin, and tighter looking pores over time. The AlphaRet part means it tends to be gentler than a straight retinol, so it is easier to stay consistent with.

How to use: at night, a pea sized amount over clean, dry skin. Start a few nights a week and build up. Always wear SPF the next day.

Best for: oilier, blemish prone skin that wants clarity and smoother texture.
