How to Use Skinbetter Alpharet Correctly (And Common Mistakes to Avoid)

Skinbetter Alpharet delivers powerful results—but only if it’s used correctly.

Here’s how to get the best results without irritation.

How Often Should You Use Alpharet?

  • Week 1–2: 2–3 nights per week

  • Week 3+: Increase as tolerated

  • Most users do best at every other night

💡 Daily use is not required to see results.

Correct Application Order (PM Routine)

  1. Gentle cleanser

  2. (Optional) Hydrating serum

  3. Alpharet (pea-sized amount for entire face)

  4. Moisturizer

🚫 Do NOT layer with:

  • Other retinols

  • Strong acids

  • Benzoyl peroxide (same night)

Common Alpharet Mistakes

  • Using too much product

  • Applying to damp skin

  • Skipping moisturizer

  • Using nightly too soon

  • Not wearing SPF during the day

All of these can lead to unnecessary irritation.

When to Pause Alpharet

Temporarily stop use if you experience:

  • Excessive peeling

  • Burning or stinging

  • Compromised skin barrier

Once calm, restart slowly.
