Even Tone vs A-Luminate

[@onlychimerically]

i've used even tone for years at this point, but i have to say, totally blown away by a-luminate. it burns more, but i actually see my skin brightening. it works.

[@savleensur8670]

Thank you so much for this video. I recently had a consult with Dr. Ania, and I loved every minute of it. Totally recommend it for those who are interested, I feel like I learned more than most consults with derms/estheticians.

[@cianijennings2846]

I really enjoy your videos. As a licensed esthetician who works in practice that sells Alastin, Skinbetter and ZO it is extremely helpful the detailed information, studies, and explanations you provide. Thank you so much for all that you do!

[@cianijennings2846]

Although I do feel as though Even Tone was more talked about in this video I have rewatched twice. I see the clinical studies from Even Tone but not Aluminate. I have personally used Even Tone twice with no visble improvement and I am fitz 5-6 so now that I have access to Alastin I am going to try Aluminate.

[@scarlett4933]

Thank you! I was thinking of trying Skinbetter, but after this I think I will stick with Alastin. This will be my second bottle of A-Luminate. I thought it would make me brighter, but not yet. Sometimes things take a bit longer so I will see. I am 60 and SO FAR I am impressed with Alastin.

[@dguisinger]

Now that Alastin has pre-announced C-RADICAL Defense Antioxidant Serum, I hope we can get a comparison video with Alto Defense / Alto Advanced Defense.

[@theocbeautymd]

💯

[@sballantine8127]

Yes please, I'd like a video on this, too. Thank you.

[@daa15617]

Yes I would love a video on this also especially due to all Black Friday specials coming up.

[@wandaharden]

I have tried them all! Alastin A-Luminate, ISDIN Melaclear Advanced, Skinbetter Even Tone, Skinmedica Lytera and now Skinmedica Even & Correct. I like Melaclear Adv and Even & Correct the best.

[@sballantine8127]

This would actually be helpful if you told us what kind of skin you have and what kind of results you were hoping for

[@J.E.C.]

ok so basically you like the phytic acid in those 2 serums that the other 2 serums don't have. phytic acid is nice to clear pores, I agree. I also have all those serums.

[@maureenturk8578]

I’ve been using the SkinBetterScience line, but having trouble discerning what is best for me at my age. Less is more - sticking with cleansing, treatment, moisturizer and SPF. I have a tendency to stick with a particular line because I don’t want interactions that may not be intended. The fact that I have combination skin makes it even more challenging. Based on today’s video, I’d be inclined to try Even Tone.

[@morgan4862]

I’m very oily and way prefer even tone! I ended up giving the A-Luminate to my Mom and she really likes likes it.

[@user-ub4ix6eq9b]

Can I ask what’s ur opinion on zo brightalive compared to these thanks

[@MM-dv8fr]

Can you compare the A-Luminate to the Anteage Brightener?

[@michellecreeden9204]

I think I wasn’t the right candidate for Even Tone. Glad I tried it though! 🧘‍♀️💕

[@theocbeautymd]

You didn't see improvement?

[@michellecreeden9204]

@@theocbeautymdI honestly didn’t. And I was diligent morning and night!

[@jeka126]

Thank you for his video

[@evaweissmann1983]

Another great video❤️

[@theocbeautymd]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@LexiCote-xj3zy]

A-luminate made me break out. I’m not sure what in it is causing the breakouts but I had to stop using it. Never had a problem with even tone though

[@jolcik1237]

Very interesting thank you

[@theocbeautymd]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@marinadavidova1215]

Thank you for your videos. I am now fully on Skinbetter - starting with facewashes finishing with alpha ret. And i am so happy thanks to your videos i found this brand, which is not even possible to get easily in Europe and costs a lit. Only missing now Mystro which i am waiting here in Europe. Doctor, any face mask you could recommend - is there any need in face mask?

[@theocbeautymd]

That's amazing! For face masks, it really depends on your concerns and needs. Whether oily, dry or dehydrated, you would need a different mask.

[@orozcoaj69]

So far I really like A-Luminate. I want to try Even Tone when I am done with A-Luminate. I am also so looking forward to trying Mystro 🤭 Love this product comparison videos 👌🏽

[@theocbeautymd]

Mystro is AMAZING! It will enhance the activity of your skin brightening serum! 🤩

[@IRAM_rehman]

I've been recommended this product for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation from an allergic reaction I had. I have extremely sensitive skin so I'm nervous to use it. Not sure if it's suitable for sensitive skin?

[@theocbeautymd]

you might want to strengthen your skin before using these. I would start with a good hydrator. I give examples in today's new video ❤️

[@sballantine8127]

WHICH product was recommended to you??

[@J.E.C.]

i have very sensitive skin, both are non-irritating, but probably better to pick SkinnBetter, its more comfy

[@scarlett4933]

You should reach out to the companies for a discount code to put on your channel for more subscribers. Curious to know your age.

[@parkerb1275]

I have the even tone and alpha ret, which product would I apply first? the alpha ret or the even tone? I’m coming off the ZO pigment protocol and this would be a nice step down to maintain. Thanks!!

[@theocbeautymd]

Even then Alpharet.

[@wiiiz3]

do you know which vitamin c the even tone uses? i have sensative skin and was hoping it would be THD just like the alto defence serum

[@LEdwards-c1j]

For skin with Fitzpatrick 5 skin, which product would you recommend.

[@theocbeautymd]

I would decide based on how oily skin is, not the Fitzpatrick

[@katiewilliams5946]

Are either of these pregnancy safe?

[@denisetorres2574]

I know for sure even tone is!

[@orozcoaj69]

🤩🥳🎉

[@Momof3xxy]

I recently purchased the Alastin A-luminate, and the Skinbetter Alto Advanced defense and repair but I’ve been confused on when and in what order to use them both since they’re both claimed to increase brightness. Can they be used together or should I alternate days?? I also got the skin better Trio and the Alpharet , along with the Alastin nectar but again confused ok when I should use all of them without wasting or ingredients interfering. Would love some insight!

[@theocbeautymd]

alto, a-luminate, alpharet (pm only), trio nectar: 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after procedure or when skin is inflamed - for example from tretinoin

[@Momof3xxy]

@@theocbeautymd would I use the aluminate only at night? Or would I use the alto and aluminate in the mornings too?

[@theocbeautymd]

@@Momof3xxy you can do am and pm

[@helenorgarycrevonis2022]

Dr. Ania I decided to take a plunge and got Alastin restorative serum. I plan to undergo micro needling using blood plasma in my dermatologist office in a few weeks. Any advise? I hope that micro needling improves my skin texture and revs up production of elastin and collagen. You have a positive influence on my routine!

[@theocbeautymd]

It will. I love microneedlling. 3-5 treatments is optimal. ❤️
