National Retinoid Week

National Retinoid Week

Celebrated annually by SkinBetter on the third week of September, National Retinoid Week focuses on educating on the demonstrated benefits of retinoids and showcasing innovations in formulations that aim to enhance efficacy and tolerability.



Why Retinoids?

Morning Regimen


+ The Gold Standard. Retinoids are Vitamin A based compounds considered to be gold standard in improving the appearance of photoaged skin. 

+ Long-term Benefits. Retinoids improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, clogged pores and blemishes.

Clinically Proven to Deliver Significant Efficacy and Tolerability

The AlphaRet molecule is the foundation of a portfolio of products that have been developed for specific patient types and concerns.

Exfoliation Solutions

Exfoliating pads featuring our award-winning retinoid, AlphaRet, a unique technology that is made up of a combination of a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), along with a triple-acid blend of glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid, in individually packaged pads.

+ Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, pores, and rough patches.
+ Supports exfoliation and removes dead skin to help prevent clogged pores.


More Than SPF

Our Award-winning AlphaRet Technology

+ Ground-Breaking Difference. AlphaRet has been clinical tested to support use every night without the need to gradually incorporate into your skincare regimen

+ Formulation Flexibility. Unlike many retinoids, AlphaRet can be incorporated into robust formulas (exfoliants, hydrators, antioxidants) to address unique concerns on the face, eyes and body.


More Than SPF

Discover AlphaRet Technology

AlphaRet is our exclusive technology that successfully combines a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) for effective and tolerable skin rejuvenation with little-to-no irritation. In addition to tolerability, AlphaRet is also more formula flexible, or more likely to be compatible with other rejuvenating ingredients compared to traditional retinoids.
