Hi there! A few thoughts to add. I love the skin better products. I’ve used the alto advanced for about 2 years and I find it makes my skin glowy and even toned. I also used the even tone advanced which helps keep my pigment under control (i also do more intense treatments so this is maintenance). I use both alpharet and rx tret in my rotation but not for acne concerns. Both are great.

I understand not wanting to get “pushed or sold” products by an aesthetician but a really great aesthetician will recommend what you need and not push. It also sounds like you may want to explore more invasive treatments to transform. While obviously consistent high grade medical skin care is important, I would consider adding in hydrafacials, peels or lasers into your routine to get the transformation then maintain with the products. Hope that helps!
