AlphaRet Clearing Serum
"If you’re dealing with oily or acne-prone skin, AlphaRet Clearing Serum is one of our top recommendations. It helps balance oil, clear active breakouts (even cystic), and fade post-acne marks while improving skin texture. What we love most is that it’s a true multitasker, no need to layer a bunch of single-ingredient products."

“Apply after AlphaRet Clearing Serum as your moisturizing step to lock in hydration and support the skin barrier while the retinoid and salicylic acid work overnight.”

“Use as your daily cleansing step before applying AlphaRet Clearing Serum. The salicylic acid and tea tree formula keeps pores clear and complements the clearing action of the serum for a more targeted acne routine.”
Lactic acid exfoliates and hydrates at the same time, which makes it the AHA for dry and easily irritated skin. Here is how it compares to glycolic and how to use it.
Niacinamide calms redness, strengthens the barrier, evens pigment and regulates oil, all without irritation. Here is why four to five percent is the number and how it fits with everything else.
Retinoids build collagen, clear pores and fade pigment, with decades of research behind them. Here is how to read the labels and how to start without giving up in week three.
Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it gets inside pores where other acids cannot. Here is why that clears blackheads and congestion, and how to use it without drying yourself out.
Bisabolol is the calming compound first found in chamomile, and it quiets the inflammation behind redness, stinging and itch. Here is how it works, who it suits and how to use it.
Unlike traditional retinoids that can cause dryness or irritation, AlphaRet Clearing Serum pairs a retinoid with lactic acid in a unique, gentle delivery system. It’s also infused with salicylic acid and zinc PCA to specifically target oily, blemish-prone skin, making it both anti-aging and clarifying in one formula.
AlphaRet Clearing Serum is designed for oily, blemish-prone skin and includes salicylic acid to help with breakouts, pores, and excess oil while still delivering retinoid and anti-aging benefits. AlphaRet Overnight Cream, on the other hand, is better suited for those focused mainly on anti-aging, texture, and dryness without the need for acne or oil control.
Absolutely. Niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, and botanical extracts work to maintain moisture balance, ensuring the skin stays hydrated even while active ingredients are working to clear and resurface.
Yes. This serum is designed to target multiple concerns at once—helping to minimize blemishes and oil while also softening fine lines, evening tone, and improving texture, so skin looks clearer and more youthful.
Yes, AlphaRet Clearing Serum can be used on dry or normal skin, but it’s best layered with a richer hydrator like Trio to keep your barrier comfortable. If you don’t have acne, the AlphaRet Overnight Cream is a better choice since it focuses more on even more anti-aging, and radiance.
