Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel — 5 Treatments, 2-Step Exfoliating Pads for Smoother Skin

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel is a two-step, at-home exfoliating treatment that resurfaces skin in just minutes to reveal smoother, clearer, more radiant skin.

Developed by a dermatologist-founded brand, this extra-strength version of the Alpha Beta Daily Peel provides a concentrated blend of AHAs and BHAs in a convenient two-step pad system. Step 1 uses a multi-acid solution to remove dead skin, oil, and congestion, while Step 2 neutralizes the acids and delivers hydrators and anti-aging actives to calm and strengthen the skin barrier. The kit contains five complete treatments—ideal for occasional resurfacing or trying the formula before committing to a longer supply.

How quickly will I see results after using this two-step peel?

Most users notice immediate surface changes: brighter tone, reduced dullness, and a smoother feel after a single treatment. With repeated use according to directions, texture and pore appearance continue to improve, and makeup applies more evenly.

• Visible radiance and smoother skin after one treatment.
• Pores appear refined with regular use.
• Lines and uneven texture soften over continued applications.

What exactly is in each step and how do they work together?

The two-step system pairs an exfoliating acid pad with a neutralizing, replenishing pad. Step 1 delivers a blend of AHAs and BHAs to lift away dead cells and clear pores; Step 2 calms acid activity while adding hydration and anti-aging ingredients so skin is soothed, balanced, and prepped for moisturizer.

• Step 1: Five potent AHA/BHAs to resurface and clarify.
• Step 2: Neutralizers, antioxidants, and hydrators to restore comfort and barrier function.
• Designed to be quick—each step takes roughly 60 seconds for a 2-minute total treatment.

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is created to be effective yet controlled—neutralizing in Step 2 helps minimize prolonged acid exposure. Those with sensitivity should patch-test and follow frequency guidance; people with active severe acne or compromised skin barriers should consult a dermatologist before use.

• Neutralizing second pad reduces irritation risk by halting acid activity.
• Vegan, paraben-free, and cruelty-free formulation.
• Suitable for combination, oily, and aging skin when used as directed.

How do I fit this into my existing skincare routine?

Use the two-step peel on clean, dry skin in place of your usual exfoliant; follow with serum and moisturizer once the treatment is complete. Because it’s an active peel, avoid layering with other strong acids or retinoids the same day, and always apply sunscreen during daytime after use.

• Apply to freshly cleansed, dry skin; use once daily when starting, adjust as tolerated.
• Wait a few minutes after Step 2, then resume serums and moisturizer.
• Use daily sunscreen afterward to protect freshly resurfaced skin.

Who is this for: The Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel is aimed at people seeking a clinical-grade, time-efficient resurfacing treatment at home—especially those with combination or oily skin, visible signs of aging, or congestion and blemish concerns. It’s a good fit for first-time peel users who want a proven two-step system and for experienced acid users looking for a stronger, dermatologist-developed option. If you have very sensitive or actively compromised skin, consult a professional before starting.
