Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream
"This heavy-duty treatment is best used after an experience with 1-2 bottles of (non Intensive) AlphaRet Cream or for those who still have texture after using the non-intensive version because it has 8% more glycolic acid in it. We highly recommend Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream for clients with thicker skin or who already have deeper wrinkles."
