When do I apply Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum in my skinbetter science® regimen?
• Products are applied in order of lightest to heaviest consistency. InterFuse® Intensive Treatment LINES is the one exception to this rule due to the injectable-grade hyaluronic acid contained in the product and is always applied first. Apply Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum after cleansing and before moisturizer.
How often should I use Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum?
• This product was clinically tested in subjects who used it twice a day. We recommend patients consult with their physician to determine optimal use based on their specific skincare needs.
How does a patient choose between Alto Defense Serum and Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum?
Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum is for patients who:
• Want to take antioxidant protection to the next level (for example, have used environmentally targeted antioxidants such as Vitamin C)
• Are concerned about the visible effects of intrinsic aging (thinning, dry skin, dullness, redness) in addition to or more than the visible effects of extrinsic aging (hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles, and rough texture)
Want the latest innovation for their skin (“I want the latest and greatest for my skin.”)
• Alto Defense Serum is for patients who are primarily concerned about the visible effects of extrinsic aging (hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles, and rough texture).

Do I need to use a moisturizer with Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum?
• Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum is not a moisturizer and will not replace the use of a daily moisturizer. For those with combination or oily skin, a separate moisturizer may not be necessary. For those with drier skin that needs more moisture, we recommend a separate targeted hydration product following Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum, such as:
• Hydration Boosting Cream: Dual-action moisturizer that delivers immediate and long-lasting hydration for those looking for lighter moisturization.
• Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment: High-performance, triple-action formula that helps hydrate a compromised barrier and bring moisture back to the skin, designed for dry, compromised skin due to age and/or environment.
