I'm absolutely hooked on this brand for skincare! I'm in my late 30's and have battled cystic acne, scarring, texture, large pores, and combination skin for decades, so when a dermatologist recommended I try "medical-grade skincare," I thought I'd give it a shot. This brand is also only available through a dermatologist or med spa (you can order online through a provided login), it's not on retail shelves. I opted to purchase the travel-size bottles of some of their core products at first because this brand is pricey. I started with the below, and my derm was also kind enough to supply me many packets of samples. - The Alto Defense is a twice-a-day serum (it's a tan/brown color and light, slippery to the feel) is great for calming the skin and repairing it. It helped with irritation and scars. - The EyeMax is also recommended to use twice-a-day and helped brighten, tighten, and smooth out under my eyes, crow's feet, and eyelid. - The retinol is only used at night and is effective to restore skin barrier and combat fine lines and wrinkles—it's also safe to use while pregnant. While I'll say again that this brand is pricey, I think consumers can pick and choose which products are best suited to their needs. Some things I love about the brand are that they do not follow trends or release new products constantly, they research, test and improve what they have vs. continuously launching, selling, and marketing an already over-saturated and confusing space for women and men. Oh, and they also don't have oddly different colored products for men vs. women (e.g. women have pink packaging and men have black). Dermatologists that are actively practicing are also involved in the creation and board. And they work! I've been using various Skinbetter products for 7 months and regularly receive compliments about my skin both with and without make-up. My recommendation is to ask your dermatologist for samples and/or which one product should you try and see for yourself.
