Meet Dr. Tina Alster

The mind behind The A Method®

A board-certified cosmetic and laser dermatologist, clinical professor at Georgetown University Medical Center, and a pioneer of modern laser skin surgery, Dr. Alster has spent more than three decades studying how skin truly behaves, heals, and thrives. Her work has shaped how physicians treat skin — and how patients care for it long after they leave the office.

The A Method® is a proudly woman-owned, physician-led brand created to extend that expertise beyond the clinic. Built on clean, medical-grade formulas and a philosophy of thoughtful layering over excess, it reflects a perspective shaped by experience, discipline, and care. No fragrances, no unnecessary stressors — just intentional skincare designed to support healthier, more confident skin at home.

The method is layering...

Skincare works best when products are applied with intention — from thinnest to thickest. Lighter formulas absorb first, allowing active ingredients to penetrate effectively before heavier layers seal them in. This follows a simple scientific principle: smaller molecular structures absorb more readily than larger ones (often referenced through Dalton-based guidelines in dermatology).

Dr. Tina Alster

Two women. One method. Decades of expertise.

The A Method® is co-founded by Angelia Inscoe, a skincare formulation expert with more than 25 years of experience, alongside Dr. Tina Alster, one of the most respected voices in clinical dermatology. Together, they bring over 40 years of hands-on experience shaping how skincare is formulated, prescribed, and trusted.

In an industry long dominated by trend cycles and louder voices, their partnership is grounded in knowledge, restraint, and results. One mind rooted in clinical practice. The other in formulation mastery. The result is skincare designed with intention — effective, considered, and built to support confidence over time.

This is The A Method.
