ABOUT ALPHA-BETA-RETINOL
WHAT IS ALPHA-BETA-RETINOL?
Whereas traditional retinol products focus on a single mechanism of action which can limit results or increase irritation, skincare formulated with Alpha-Beta-Retinol combines alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), and retinol-based activity to support skin renewal at multiple levels at once.
This multi-pathway approach is designed to be more tolerable because each component is balanced within a coordinated system rather than used at full strength alone. By layering exfoliation and renewal at different skin depths, Alpha-Beta-Retinol helps reduce the irritation commonly associated with traditional retinol. The result is a gradual resurfacing process that improves texture, clarity, and fine lines while supporting the skin barrier.
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are water-soluble exfoliants, like glycolic acid, that work on the surface of the skin to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells so they can shed more easily.
AHAs act as the surface reset, preparing the skin so other active ingredients can penetrate more effectively and deliver deeper results.
Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are oil-soluble exfoliants, like salicylic acid, that work within the pores rather than just on the surface to break down excess oil and debris that can lead to congestion and uneven texture.
BHAs work beneath the surface to keep pores clear and balanced, complementing AHA's surface-level exfoliation.
Retinol is a vitamin A–derivative that works deeper within the skin to support cellular renewal and collagen production. It helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, and loss of firmness by accelerating the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Unlike exfoliants that act on the surface, Retinol works at a structural level to improve long-term skin quality.
In the Alpha-Beta Retinol system, Retinol is the renewal engine that drives deeper transformation while AHA and BHAs optimize the surface and pore environment so results are more complete and balanced.
HOW TO USE ALPHA-BETA-RETINOL
Apply Alpha-Beta-Retinol skincare in the evening after cleansing to clean, dry skin. Start 2–3 times per week and gradually increase frequency as tolerated. Follow with a moisturizer to support the skin barrier, and always use sunscreen during the day, as retinol and exfoliating ingredients can increase sun sensitivity.
