Dr. John DeSpain’s Daily Skincare Routine and Recommendations:

I love SkinBetter Products. Their formulations use pharmaceutical grade ingredients in well tolerated packaging. The product are packaged nicely with a convenient unit dose dispensing, and as they are sealed up they don’t spill or oxidize. To be honest, I was a skeptic about the packaging. I even once cut open a used-up product and the container was completely empty – no wasted product!

I use three products every day:

• Morning: SkinBetter Alto Defense Antioxidant Serum followed by a mineral-based sunscreen
• Evening: SkinBetter AlphaRet Overnight Topical Retinoid. Unlike most retinoids, AlphaRet has hydrating agents and is very well tolerated.
