Dermatologist Compares: SkinBetter Science AlphaRet vs Alto- how to use them in your routine!

[@beckywampler2180]

Very high quality products and the most brilliant pump design of all brands!

[@kimstclair1879]

I recently followed one of your tips for my irritated skin ceravee face cream, its working like a charm and my skin has never looked so good in months. Ps KZbin sent you to me, you popped up in my feed so thank you 😊❤

[@danielsugaimd]

Aww that’s amazing to hear. Thank you for letting me know and this comment seriously made my day. 🙏🙏🙏

[@livingmybestlife9253]

Would love to see you do a video explaing what skin care ingredients should Not be used/layered together. For example, lets say a morning routine consists of SA Cleanser, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid Serum , Moisturiser, Sun Screenn At Night a Glycolic Acid Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Retinol, Squalene Moisturiser, Face Oil. Would there be any contraindications, counter-productive effects, etc....

[@danielsugaimd]

Great idea!!!

[@livingmybestlife9253]

​@@danielsugaimd Just thought of another video idea you may like to make. I have read articles, blog posts etc on Dermatologists views of the application of products such as natural or plastic loofah's, back scrubbers etc, where they don't recommend them, stating they are breeding grounds of bacteria and can over exfoliate the skin. However they often do not give any good alternatives, stating to just apply product using your hands, some some use washing cloths however others says don't use washing cloths as they too can cause 'sandpaper'' like damage to the skin and introduct bacteria to the skin. Would a 100% silicon body shower scrub mitt/brushes, etc be ok, etc.. This would be a great topic as there are those people out there who require some type of cloth, back washer, etc due to being overweight, having a physical disability, unable to wash their own back due to flexibility issues, etc, so what alternative do these people have , etc..?

Thank you Dr. Sugai 💜🤙💜

[@steffie3813]

I’m surprised you didn’t review the alto advanced serum since this is their latest formulation and looks to be a step up from the original!

[@phoenixgirl11]

My holy grail. I’ve been using AlphaRet intense for years. I alternate it with prescription Retin-A 0.1% I absolutely love AlphaRet.

[@danielsugaimd]

Awesome to hear and sounds like you got it down! Amazing 👏👏

[@orozcoaj69]

Do you use one mighty AlphaRet, and the next night Retin A? Thanks 😊

[@camirose3009]

The Alpha Intense is fantastic…and rarely talked about

[@marlee5385]

You are a godsend. I’m 75, Hawaii sansei, who is “reaping” the double whammy of sunny beaches with the reckless abandon of youth and now, old age skin issues. Never been vain, don’t use makeup, but self-conscious of people looking at the dark “donuts and wheels,” as well as the age spots on my face. It’s distracting when I’m speaking to others to see their eyes perusing my skin. I’ve tried all the usual OTC products with no changes except to make the spots look darker because the skin around has been lightened; but at least my skin texture is soft. I’ve just purchased the skinceutical overnight, alto, correcting serum, and compact and looking forward to this regimen. I appreciate the science that you explain in lay terms and so glad I found you! I’ve learned so much from your videos - MAHALO!!!

[@pcssc2634]

Hi Dr.D. Can you compare SBS vs Skinceuticals? Thanks! Love your channel. 🤙

[@danielsugaimd]

That’s a great idea! And thank you so much 🙏🤙

[@amaredigital]

I got the A-Team duo kit. I’m hoping it helps with acne scarring.

[@misspeggy3125]

I do believe more would use these products, as well as skinceuticals but they are so expensive, people will buy something else.

[@carolinemcintosh9132]

I have been using skinbetter science for about 5 years. Great products. Can you use the trio rebalance moisturizer over the Alpharet over night cream?

[@danielsugaimd]

Yes! Trio is amazing. Great to layer the two and yes you’re right- layer trio over AlphaRet 👍

Is it ok if u have Rosacia ? Thanks Doc ! Blessings ✝️ 🙏

[@danielsugaimd]

Need to be careful and may need to ask your dermatologist for a sample packet of the product to try out first since they are quite potent. Great question

Thoughts on the Even Tone Correcting Serum?

[@danielsugaimd]

This is a juicy topic for me since out of all the products in the brand, this one has been the least reliable for hyperpigmentation. I will sometimes suggest this as a last resort to patients who can’t tolerate hydroquinone or retinoids as this is gentler but it is not consistently effective tbh.

[@microxas]

do you need to apply moisturizer after applying?

[@feliciabueno9059]

Hi. Would any of these products work on melasma over the lip?

[@danielsugaimd]

Melasma is quite stubborn but these products could definitely be a part of your regimen to battle Melasma. Combination therapy guided by your dermatologist is always best. The lip is tricky since it can be a sensitive area and some products can irritate the skin there.

[@annatran959]

What happens is I don’t like the smell of turmeric? 😮

[@annatran959]

I mean Tumeric*

[@maiisunshineee]

@@annatran959I have the vitamin c serum and it doesn’t really smell like turmeric to me. It smells clean if that makes any scent. I don’t like turmeric scent either but I’m okay with this scent

[@annatran959]

@@maiisunshineeewhat do u use?

[@maiisunshineee]

@@annatran959 I use alpha ret clearing serum (retinol serum) and the alto advanced defense and repair serum (the vitamin c serum). I also use eventone serum, trio moisturizer, and both the cleansers all from skin better. The vitamin c serum doesn’t smell bad or like turmeric though!

[@privatetatum]

Can you please recommend a good, effective (as in against the sun), mineral sunscreen that won’t dry out the face? I feel like only physical sunscreens actually protect against the sun but they dehydrate my face so badly.

[@lorraineshoemate9430]

Do you also alternate tretinoin with Alpha Ret?

[@danielsugaimd]

Yes- I tend to alternate with stronger tretinoin 0.05%

[@denise3432]

Thank you for the question. I was curious as well.

[@sw2335]

I just bought P-TIOX. Where can that fit in with the routine in this video?

[@swapnashinde5793]

Dr Please advise on moles. Can they be fixed?

[@TechDrivenDaniel]

So my question would be and I’m specifically saying this about myself who has been using Skinbetter for a few months but has been doing Retinol for a while in general but my question is - would using the Advanced alto both day and night but pairing it with the alpharet at night with moisturizer but am I wasting the product (alto) in a sense by using it 2X a day? I feel as though for longevity of the product it’s ideally good to use morning with my spf and moisturizer then at night Alpharet moisturizer

[@TianaPaige]

I would love to know this as well. I feel like he’s saying only use it in the morning but the handout from SB says twice daily so that’s what I’ve been doing. It would definitely save us money if it’s not necessary in my nighttime routine

[@claytonelofgren]

Doc, Is skin tanning due to outdoor swimming permanent ? Will it return back to normal. Went to pool last week for the 1st time. .

hello not related to your video but may i ask on what to use after using a selenium sulfide shampoo? since it recommends only using it twice or thrice a week.

[@crissv4486]

Can you ask a dermatologist to prescribe you with tretinoin? I dont have acne , i just want to minimize my fine lines. Thanks
