3 Essentials Every Dermatologist Recommends
Think of this as a triathlon for your skin. It’s simple—one quick pump in the morning, one at night, and a layer of sunscreen before you step outside. Dermatologists agree: these three key ingredients are non-negotiable for your healthiest, happiest skin. Here’s what you need and why:
Step 1: Take Your Vitamins
Start your day with a Vitamin C serum, the ultimate antioxidant shield. We love SkinBetter Science Alto Advanced because it’s packed with 19 powerhouse antioxidants, including Vitamins C and E. Just one pump helps defend against environmental and internal stressors, repairs damage, and leaves you looking refreshed and radiant.
Step 2: Put This Multi-Tasker to Work
At night, reach for retinol—your skin’s anti-aging, acne-fighting, rejuvenating hero. This Vitamin A derivative boosts exfoliation and cell turnover, keeping pores clear and softening fine lines and wrinkles. Studies show it can reduce wrinkles in just 8 weeks! Newer formulas, like SkinBetter Science AlphaRet, combine retinol with lactic acid for gentler yet highly effective results.
Step 3: Sunscreen Every Single Day
No matter the season, sunscreen is a must. But is higher SPF really better?
Here’s the scoop:
- SPF 30 allows 3% of UVB rays through, while SPF 50 lets only 2% through.
- That 1% difference might seem small, but SPF 30 allows 50% more UV rays than SPF 50.
The catch? In real life, people often misuse higher SPFs—skipping reapplication, staying out too long, or skipping shade. For daily use, SPF 30+ with broad-spectrum protection is a great starting point. If you’re at high altitudes, near the equator, or have a higher risk of skin cancer, SPF 50 or higher is a smart choice—but don’t forget to reapply!
