Show Frequently Asked Questions
What makes AlphaRet Technology different from traditional retinol?
Traditional retinol must be converted by the skin through several enzymatic steps before it becomes active, and it causes irritation, dryness, and peeling in the process. AlphaRet bonds a retinoid directly to lactic acid, which changes how the molecule interacts with the skin entirely. The retinoid is released more gradually and the lactic acid simultaneously conditions the skin, producing retinoid-level results with significantly less irritation. For clients who have tried and abandoned retinol due to sensitivity, AlphaRet is often the formula that finally works.
What skin concerns does SkinBetter Science address?
SkinBetter addresses fine lines and wrinkles with the AlphaRet Overnight Cream, environmental damage and dullness with the Alto Advanced Defense Serum, hyperpigmentation with the Even Tone Correcting Serum, neck laxity with the Techno Neck Perfecting Cream, acne-prone skin with the AlphaRet Clearing Serum, and eye aging with the EyeMax AlphaRet Overnight Cream.
Which SkinBetter Science products do you recommend most often?
The Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum is the one product we recommend to almost every SkinBetter client as a daily antioxidant foundation. For anti-aging, the AlphaRet Overnight Cream and Intensive AlphaRet are the core treatment products, chosen based on skin tolerance and experience with retinoids.
How do I choose between AlphaRet Overnight Cream and Intensive AlphaRet?
The standard AlphaRet Overnight Cream is the right starting point for most clients, particularly those new to retinoids or with sensitive skin. The Intensive AlphaRet is a higher-strength formula suited for experienced retinoid users who want more aggressive anti-aging results and have already built tolerance.
Does SkinBetter Science make a sunscreen?
Yes. The sunbetter range is SkinBetter's dedicated SPF line, offering broad-spectrum mineral protection in several formats. The TONE SMART SPF 75 Lotion is the most comprehensive option for daily protection and anti-aging defense. The TONE SMART SPF 68 Compact provides sheer adaptable color for on-the-go reapplication. Both are formulated to work seamlessly alongside AlphaRet and Alto without interfering with their performance.
What are the AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads and how are they used?
The AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads deliver AlphaRet Technology alongside a triple-acid complex in a pre-soaked pad format for weekly at-home exfoliation. They smooth texture, improve tone, and support collagen renewal with each use. Used once or twice a week in place of the overnight cream, they provide a deeper exfoliation pass that accelerates the results of the regular AlphaRet routine.
Can SkinBetter Science help with hyperpigmentation?
Yes. The Even Tone Correcting Serum is SkinBetter's dedicated brightening treatment, formulated without hydroquinone or retinol to target stubborn dark spots and uneven tone safely for all skin types and tones. It can be used morning and night, making it easy to layer into an existing AlphaRet routine without adding irritation or downtime.
Does SkinBetter Science have products for the eye area?
Yes. SkinBetter has three eye treatments addressing different needs. The EyeMax AlphaRet Overnight Cream brings retinoid renewal to the eye area with the same tolerability as AlphaRet. The InterFuse Treatment Cream Eye targets crow's feet, dark circles, and puffiness with peptides and caffeine. The Instant Effect Gel Eye delivers immediate firming and depuffing for a fast visible result. The right choice depends on whether the priority is long-term renewal, daily correction, or immediate visible improvement.
How long does it take to see results from SkinBetter Science?
Antioxidant and hydration benefits from the Alto Advanced Defense Serum are typically felt within days. Retinoid results from AlphaRet, including improvements in texture, tone, and fine lines, generally become noticeable within four to eight weeks and continue to build over three to six months of consistent use.
Is LAZ Skincare an authorized SkinBetter Science retailer?
Yes. SkinBetter Science is a physician-dispensed, professional-grade brand sold exclusively through authorized aesthetic practices and retailers. Every product we carry is authentic and sourced directly from the brand.
