skinbetter science® AlphaRet® Exfoliating Peel Pads (30 Pads)

Professional-strength resurfacing in a single pad. The skinbetter science AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads combine four acid actives with the patented AlphaRet technology in one pre-soaked weekly treatment pad to deliver multi-layer chemical exfoliation at a concentration that delivers genuine visible results. 30 pads. Used weekly, that is 30 weeks of professional-strength skin renewal.

Who are AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads best for?

• Those wanting weekly professional-strength resurfacing at home
• Fine lines, uneven texture, dark spots and dull skin not responding to daily exfoliation
• Those wanting to step up their results with a weekly intensive treatment
• Experienced skincare users ready for clinical-level weekly exfoliation
• Those maintaining in-clinic peel results between appointments

Key ingredients and why they matter

• AlphaRet (Ethyl Lactyl Retinoate, patented): The same patented double-conjugated retinoid in the AlphaRet Overnight Cream, providing retinoid renewal and resurfacing action alongside the acid complex
• Glycolic Acid (AHA): Deep surface resurfacing, stimulates collagen production and visibly improves fine lines, texture and pigmentation
• Lactic Acid (AHA): Resurfaces and simultaneously hydrates the skin through its humectant properties
• Salicylic Acid (BHA): Penetrates pores to dissolve congestion and prevent breakouts during exfoliation
• Calming complex: Reduces post-peel irritation and restores comfort after treatment

What results can you expect?

Noticeably smoother, brighter and more even skin in the days following each weekly treatment. With continued weekly use over 8 to 12 weeks, fine lines reduce, dark spots fade and skin texture improves significantly. The retinoid component provides an additional layer of anti-ageing renewal not available in standard acid peel pads.

How we use AlphaRet Peel Pads at Face for Soul

As a pharmacist prescriber specialising in skin health, the AlphaRet Peel Pads are the weekly intensive step I recommend for patients who are established on the AlphaRet Overnight Cream and want to accelerate their results further. The combination of AlphaRet with three acid classes in a single pad is genuinely more comprehensive than any standard at-home peel pad available.

Integrate them into your skinbetter science routine

Use one pad weekly in the evening after cleansing with the Refresh Cleansing Gel. On peel nights, apply the pad to dry skin after cleansing and do not follow with AlphaRet Overnight Cream as this doubles the retinoid and acid load. On all other evenings, continue with your regular routine including AlphaRet. The following morning, apply the Alto Defense Serum for antioxidant protection, then moisturiser and SPF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use them if I am already using AlphaRet Overnight Cream?
Yes, but use the peel pads instead of AlphaRet on the evening you use them. Using both on the same evening is too much. The most effective protocol is AlphaRet nightly and peel pads once weekly on an alternating night.

Do they increase sun sensitivity?
Yes. They contain AHAs and a retinoid which increase sun sensitivity. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF daily and particularly on the morning after a peel.

Is skinbetter science cruelty-free?
Yes. skinbetter science does not test on animals.

Is it vegan?
Yes. AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads are formulated without animal-derived ingredients.

How to Use

After cleansing on dry skin, sweep one pad over the face and neck avoiding the eye area. Allow to fully absorb. Do not rinse. Use once weekly in the evening. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF the following morning.
