Skinbetter Science Launches First Annual National Retinoid Week

Skinbetter Science – a leader in advanced skincare solutions – has announced the inaugural observance of National Retinoid Week, from Sept. 16-22, 2024.

The annual event will be observed every third week of September, educating skincare users and spotlighting the profound benefits of retinoids for visibly healthy skin. As a highlight of the milestone week, Skinbetter will feature its breakthrough AlphaRet technology and introduce its latest innovation.

Retinoids are Vitamin A based compounds considered to be a gold standard in improving the appearance of photoaged skin. When used long-term, retinoids improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, clogged pores and blemishes.

To celebrate National Retinoid Week, Skinbetter will engage with the skincare community through a series of posts on @skinbetter and exclusive professional content.

“The goal of National Retinoid Week is education about the important role that retinoids play in skincare. Skinbetter has always believed that retinoids are a cornerstone of effective skincare, yet, many people don’t know how to choose the right product for their skin or aren’t aware of all the options available to them,” said Jonah Shacknai, founder and CEO of Skinbetter. “With the introduction of AlphaRet Body Overnight Cream, we are emphasizing that body care deserves the same level of attention, innovation and results as facial care. Our latest product exemplifies our commitment to delivering transformative results through innovation for radiant, healthy-looking skin from head to toe.”

Clinical Results

Recognized for its exclusive AlphaRet technology—Skinbetter Science combines a retinoid and an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) for effective and tolerable skin rejuvenation with little-to-no irritation, per the brand.

The brand’s latest innovation, AlphaRet Body Overnight Cream, marks an expansion of this award-winning technology in body care. The new offering is designed to address the needs of skin beyond the face, which is typically thicker and rougher. The advanced formulation provides deep hydration and refinement, targeting dry, crepey areas with a weightless touch. According to the brand, over 87% of users with sensitive and non-sensitive skin reported visibly firmer, smoother skin after eight weeks of nightly use.
