Why an antioxidant serum matters
Sunscreen blocks most UV, but not all of it, and it does little against pollution and other everyday stressors. These create free radicals that break down collagen and cause uneven tone over time. An antioxidant serum under your SPF adds a second layer of defence.
What the evidence shows
Alto Defense Serum was evaluated in a dermatologist led clinical trial in 22 patients using it twice daily for 12 weeks, assessed with unretouched photography.

What is the difference between Alto Defense and Alto Advanced?
Both contain 19 antioxidants. Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum adds Skinbetter's patented PQQ technology. Alto Defense is the original formula.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
