skinbetter science
The A-Team Duo Advanced Kit pairs two of skinbetter science's best-known technologies: Alto Advanced for daytime antioxidant support and AlphaRet Overnight Cream for evening retinoid and AHA renewal.
One antioxidant serum for daytime and one retinoid/AHA treatment for night.
A lower-commitment way to try the two-product A-Team pairing.
Targets dullness, uneven tone, lines and texture across the full routine.
The products sit on separate schedules, making the routine easy to understand.
The formula
Alto Advanced combines a broad antioxidant system with niacinamide, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, ergothioneine and barrier-supportive lipids. AlphaRet Overnight Cream combines retinoid technology with glycolic acid, peptides, niacinamide, squalane, ceramide and hyaluronic acid.
Daily routine
Morning: apply Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum to clean, dry skin, then moisturiser if needed and broad-spectrum SPF.
Evening: apply a thin layer of AlphaRet Overnight Cream to clean, dry skin. Introduce AlphaRet gradually if you are new to retinoids.
