Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum

This breakthrough antioxidant treatment goes beyond vitamins C and E with 17 additional antioxidants to protect against a wide range of environmental damage while also addressing internal oxidative stress. It improves tone, texture, and radiance, and is gentle enough for post-procedure use to support skin recovery.

Allyl PQQ

atented, orange-red, super-potent antioxidant technology that effectively neutralizes free radicals produced by the body’s natural intrinsic processes.

Vitamin C

Potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radical damage, supports collagen production, and improves overall skin tone and radiance.

AlphaRet

Proprietary retinoid complex that combines a retinoid with lactic acid for effective skin renewal, with less irritation than traditional retinoids.

AlphaRet Overnight Cream

Winner of 16 industry awards, AlphaRet merges a potent retinoid with lactic acid for exceptional renewal benefits with minimal irritation. In as little as four weeks, it visibly softens wrinkles, smooths uneven texture, and improves clarity, while added hydration counters the dryness often associated with retinoid use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this duo different from using a regular vitamin C serum and retinol?

The antioxidant serum in this kit contains an extensive blend of 19 total antioxidants—far beyond traditional formulas—and includes internal defense technology to address oxidative stress from within. The retinoid is paired with glycolic acid in a patented AlphaRet complex for powerful results with little-to-no irritation.

Can I use both products right away?

Yes. Alto Advanced can be used morning and evening, while AlphaRet is designed for nighttime use. If you’re new to retinoids, start with AlphaRet every other night for the first 1–2 weeks, then increase to nightly as tolerated.

Is this safe to use after professional treatments?

Alto Advanced has been clinically tested for use after non-ablative fractional laser, making it a great choice for post-procedure recovery. AlphaRet should generally be avoided for several days after treatments that leave skin sensitive—follow your provider’s guidance.

Will this help with fine lines and dark spots?

Yes. Alto Advanced works to brighten and even skin tone while defending against new discoloration, and AlphaRet promotes cell turnover to smooth fine lines and fade existing uneven pigmentation over time.

Do I need to wear sunscreen with this duo?

Absolutely. Retinoids and antioxidant treatments work best when paired with daily SPF. Sun protection not only prevents new damage but also supports the corrective results of both products.
