Yes! AlphaRet’s breakthrough combination of a retinoid and an AHA can be used nightly. Each AlphaRet formula addresses the tolerability vs. efficacy tradeoff of traditional retinoids. AlphaRet formulations also contain hydrating and soothing ingredients, to help rejuvenate the appearance of the skin while providing the skin with much needed moisture and barrier support.

If I don’t see flaking or peeling, does that mean AlphaRet isn’t working?
If I don’t see flaking or peeling, does that mean AlphaRet isn’t working?
Not at all. Traditional retinoids may cause irritation, but AlphaRet Technology combines two gold standard ingredients - an alpha hydroxy acid (lactic acid) and a retinoid for efficient skin rejuvenation that is gentle enough to use overnight, every night. AlphaRet helps with cell turnover with little to no irritation, while hydrating and soothing the skin, so patients can experience both remarkable efficacy and tolerability.
I noticed that AlphaRet also contains an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid). I thought you couldn’t use a retinoid and AHA at the same time – is this true?

A lesser-known limitation of traditional retinoids is the fact that they are difficult to incorporate with other skin rejuvenating ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids and peptides into a robust formula. There can be pH and formulation stability issues between retinoids and acidic ingredients which makes it difficult to combine both. There is also an increased risk of irritation with many retinoids and other active ingredients which may prevent consistent usage. AlphaRet formulas are specifically formulated with alpha and beta hydroxy acids as well as peptides and other hydrating and soothing ingredients and can safely be used by all skin types.
