Skinbetter FAQ

What is Skinbetter Science?

Skinbetter Science is a professional, medical-grade skincare line known for its science-backed formulas, patented technologies, and clinically tested results. Products are only available through authorized medical practices and providers.

Why is Skinbetter only sold through providers?

Skinbetter is considered medical-grade skincare, meaning its ingredients and concentrations are potent and results-driven. To ensure proper use and safe product selection, it’s only available through licensed skincare professionals.

When visiting our store and logging in, be sure “Viva Day Spa + Med Spa” is set as your practice in the top bar.

Do Skinbetter products work well with injectable treatments like Botox or fillers?

Yes — Skinbetter is designed to complement medical aesthetics. Products in AlphaRet’s line and Even Intensive Skin Tone Correcting Serum help support skin health, prolong results, and enhance overall outcomes.

Can I use Skinbetter products with retinol or other active ingredients?

Yes, but it depends on your skin and your routine. Some products—like AlphaRet and Even Tone—are powerful on their own and may not need extra actives. Your provider can help you build a safe, effective regimen to avoid over-exfoliation.

What is AlphaRet, and why is it so popular?

AlphaRet combines retinoid + AHA (glycolic acid) technology in one formula. This patented blend gives you the results of a traditional retinol with less irritation—making it a fan-favorite for lines, texture, and overall skin health.

How long does it take to see results?

Most people notice improvements—like smoother texture and increased radiance—in 2–4 weeks. More significant changes in lines, pigmentation, and firmness typically develop over 8–12 weeks with consistent use.
