Product details
A closer look.
What it offers, how to use it and the details worth knowing.
Skinbetter Science A-Team Duo Set pairs two of the brand's signature formulas in travel-friendly 15 ml sizes. It covers the two foundations of a thoughtful routine: antioxidant care and retinoid renewal. Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum combines vitamins C and E with Allyl PQQ and a botanical antioxidant blend to help skin look brighter and more even. Use it morning and evening. AlphaRet Overnight Cream pairs a patented retinoid with lactic and glycolic acids, plus a moisturizing blend, to help skin look smoother at night. Together they make a simple day-to-night ritual.
Why you’ll love it.
Two products, two clear roles: protect by day, renew by night. That simplicity is what makes a routine stick. The smaller sizes let you discover how your skin responds before investing in full sizes. We like it as a first step into Skinbetter Science.
Pairs well with.
