"They also have an intense one that one actually has a higher concentration of glycolic acid. Personally I don't think it's necessary. I think if anything it's just going to add more irritation. If you are somebody who's been on AlphaRet for a while, your skin is used to it and you're looking for a little bit higher kick, then you can go to the AlphaRet Intensive. I probably wouldn't start there though."

"The one I talk about a lot on the channel is SkinBetter Science Intensive AlphaRet or just the regular OG AlphaRet. This is nice because it's a retinoid with alpha hydroxy acids like lactic acid and it has glycolic acid. If you go at the Intensive AlphaRet, that's more glycolic acid than the AlphaRet that just has a smaller percentage of glycolic acid."
