Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel 60 Treatments — 2-Step AHA/BHA Exfoliant for Smoother, Radiant Skin

Designed as an at-home professional-strength alternative to in-office peels, this 60-treatment set uses a patented two-step formula to dissolve dead skin cells, clear excess oil and refine texture. The extra-strength version raises the level of alpha and beta hydroxy acids and adds targeted antioxidants and vitamins so results appear quicker and can complement the rest of your skincare routine.

How quickly will I see smoother, brighter skin?

Most users notice an immediate glow and improved skin clarity after the first treatment because the pad surfaces remove dull, dead skin and surface oil. Continued daily use helps visibly reduce roughness, improve tone uniformity and make pores appear less prominent over weeks.

• Immediate: brighter, more radiant surface after one use
• Short-term (days–weeks): smoother texture and improved product absorption
• Ongoing: refined pores and more even-looking skin with consistent application

What are the two steps and why are they both necessary?

The system includes Step 1 pads that deliver the active acids to lift away dead cells and Step 2 pads that soothe, neutralize and replenish with antioxidants and vitamins. Using both pads in sequence balances exfoliation’s resurfacing power with recovery support to minimize visible irritation while maximizing results.

• Step 1: higher-concentration AHAs/BHAs to exfoliate and unclog pores
• Step 2: calming antioxidants and vitamins to restore hydration and tone
• Two-step pairing: optimized to boost efficacy and comfort compared with single-step wipes

Is this formula safe for everyday use and all skin types?

The Extra Strength Peel is formulated for daily application and contains a blend of five acids suitable for many skin types, including those new to peels. It is vegan, paraben-free and cruelty-free; however, those with very sensitive or compromised skin should introduce usage gradually or consult a skincare professional.

• Daily regimen: designed for regular use to maintain smoothness and clarity
• All-skin consideration: suitable for most skin types, with stepwise introduction advised for sensitivity
• Clean formula: free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates and animal testing

How does this product fit into my existing skincare routine?

Use the two-step peel on clean, dry skin before applying serums and moisturizers to improve absorption and efficacy of active treatments. Because it enhances penetration, follow with sunscreen during daytime and avoid layering other strong actives immediately after until your skin acclimates.

• Morning or evening: can be used daily, but apply sunscreen if used in the morning
• Layering tip: wait a few minutes after Step 2 before applying serums or creams
• Compatibility: pairs well with hydrating and barrier-supporting products

Who is this for: This extra-strength two-step peel is suited to people seeking clinical-grade exfoliation at home—those wanting faster surface renewal, improved texture, and clearer-looking skin. It’s ideal for individuals comfortable using chemical exfoliants, looking to enhance serum performance, or aiming to reduce the appearance of uneven tone and visible pores while maintaining a clean, cruelty-free routine. If you have highly reactive or compromised skin, start slowly or seek personalized advice from a dermatologist.
