Specifically designed for oily and blemish-prone skin, it works to visibly improve clarity, smoothness, and tone without sacrificing hydration.

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

Powerful Yet Gentle Clarifying Action

Featuring AlphaRet Technology—a patented blend of a retinoid and lactic acid—this serum resurfaces and retexturizes while remaining gentle enough for consistent use. Salicylic acid helps exfoliate inside the pores to reduce congestion, while zinc PCA balances excess oil for a fresher, less shiny appearance.

AlphaRet

Proprietary retinoid complex that combines a retinoid with lactic acid for effective skin renewal, with less irritation than traditional retinoids.

Salicylic Acid

BHA that penetrates into pores to clear out debris, making it one of the most effective ingredients for treating acne and congestion.

Lactic Acid

AHA that gently exfoliates the skin’s surface while also providing hydration, making it ideal for sensitive or dry skin types.

Hydration and Soothing Benefits

Niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate keep the skin comfortably hydrated, helping to offset dryness sometimes associated with active treatments. Calming agents like bisabolol, ginger root extract, and a patented botanical complex work to reduce the look of redness and irritation, keeping the skin balanced during the clearing process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes AlphaRet Clearing Serum different from other retinoid products?

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.

What’s the difference between AlphaRet Clearing Serum and AlphaRet Overnight Cream?

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.

Is this serum hydrating enough for daily use?

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.

Will it work for both blemishes and signs of aging?

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.

Can I use this if I have dry skin?

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.
