"This is the Alpharet from Skin Better, a top tier retinoid, an over the counter version of retinoic acid comparable to tretinoin 0.025. I used to use tretinoin every night but it made my skin so dry and flaky, but when I use the Alpharet I can use it every single night and my skin loves it. It keeps the minor pimples and blackheads away, keeps my skin bright, and keeps the dead skin cells and debris off. I've even moved up to the Alpharet Advanced, which has a higher percentage of glycolic acid, and I still don't need a moisturizer after I use it, which is wild. I've never used a product from Skin Better Science that I didn't like."
