Collection: Alpha-H Body & Hand

Clinical body care with retinol, peptides, and exfoliating acids

The skin on the body is the same skin as on the face — it just rarely gets the same attention. The neck, décolleté, upper arms, and hands reveal signs of sun damage, sagging, and pigmentation spots over the years that are impossible to correct with traditional body lotion. The Alpha-H Body & Hand range translates clinical facial care to the body, scalp, and hands, with formulas that perform at an active ingredient level.

Alpha-H is the Australian brand that has specialized in exfoliating acids and targeted active ingredients for nearly thirty years. The Body & Hand line brings that expertise to areas always neglected in skincare: retinol for the décolleté, peptides against tech neck, lactic acid for the hands, salicylic acid for the scalp and body breakouts. Each product is formulated for a specific skin concern, with clinically supported concentrations and sensory textures that keep the daily routine enjoyable.

Why choose Alpha-H Body & Hand?

The Alpha-H Body & Hand line stands out with a clear philosophy: body care should deliver the same results as facial care. That means clinically tested concentrations of active ingredients such as 1% encapsulated retinol, 8% glycolic acid, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, instead of symbolic amounts that serve only as marketing claims. The formulas are developed for mature and aging skin that expects visible results, not just superficial hydration.

A second distinguishing feature is the thoughtful routine architecture. The products are designed to work together: a pregnancy-safe morning body serum, a retinol treatment for the evening, a peptide oil that can be applied on top anywhere, and a separate treatment for scalp and hands. All packaging is vegan, cruelty-free, and made from recycled material.

Find your ideal Alpha-H body care

For visible skin aging on neck and décolleté: Tech neck lines, crepey skin on the upper arms, and a sagging décolleté require targeted intervention. The Firming Peptide Body Oil 100ml with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 firms the skin in just two weeks and is safe during pregnancy. For deeper correction, the Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment 120ml offers a highly concentrated retinol treatment for the evening.

For age spots on the hands: The backs of the hands are often the most sun-damaged area of the body. The In Good Hands Renewing Hand Treatment 50ml uses 5% lactic acid to fade pigmentation spots overnight.

For impurities, body breakouts, and keratosis pilaris: Clogged pores, back acne, and bumps on the upper arms require an oil-soluble acid that penetrates deep into the pore. The Clear Skin Face and Body Wash 185ml with 2% salicylic acid can be used on both face and body.

For oily or itchy scalp: Product buildup, sebum, and flakes on the scalp directly affect hair volume and shine. The Healthy Scalp Exfoliating Treatment 100ml is a pre-wash treatment with 1% encapsulated salicylic acid.

For daily protection and hydration: The Daily Dose Multivitamin Body Serum 150ml with 5% niacinamide, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid is the morning step that provides protection against free radicals and hydrates the skin.

For those who want to start a complete anti-aging body routine: The Firming Body Care Duo combines the Daily Dose Multivitamin Body Serum for the morning with the Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment for the evening — the two essential steps for a full day and night routine.

How to use Alpha-H Body & Hand?

1. Cleanse face and body in the morning in the shower with the Clear Skin Face and Body Wash, paying extra attention to areas with impurities such as back, shoulders, and upper arms

8. Before bedtime, massage the In Good Hands Renewing Hand Treatment into the backs of hands, fingers, and cuticles against age spots and dryness

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Alpha-H body product is safe during pregnancy?

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the Daily Dose Multivitamin Body Serum, Firming Peptide Body Oil, In Good Hands Renewing Hand Treatment, and Healthy Scalp Exfoliating Treatment are safe to use. The Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment and Clear Skin Face and Body Wash are not suitable during this phase due to retinol and salicylic acid, respectively.

Can I use multiple Alpha-H body products in the same routine?

Yes, the range is specifically designed for this. The products can be layered in a morning and evening routine: Daily Dose for the morning, Retinol Reboot for the evening (three times a week on alternating nights), and Firming Peptide Body Oil year-round as the finishing step. The Firming Body Care Duo is composed to make this combination easy.

How long does it take to see visible results?

Most clinical user studies from Alpha-H show results after two to four weeks of consistent use. The Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment shows firming effects after two weeks, the Firming Peptide Body Oil improves tech neck lines in the same period, and the In Good Hands Renewing Hand Treatment fades pigmentation spots after three to six weeks. Consistent use is more important than high frequency.

What is the difference between the Daily Dose Body Serum and the Retinol Reboot Body Treatment?

Daily Dose is a morning serum with niacinamide, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid that hydrates, protects, and brightens the skin — safe for daily use and during pregnancy. Retinol Reboot is an evening treatment with 1% retinol and 8% glycolic acid that firms the skin and addresses visible aging, for use on alternate evenings. The two products complement each other perfectly in a complete routine.
