Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Ultra Gentle Daily Peel — 30 Treatments for Dehydrated & Sensitive Skin, Hydrating Exfoliation

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Ultra Gentle Daily Peel is a two-step, daily at-home chemical peel designed to gently exfoliate, hydrate, and soothe dehydrated or sensitive skin while improving tone, texture, and pore appearance.

This two-step system delivers clinical-strength resurfacing in just minutes: Step 1 provides a mild blend of AHAs/BHAs and antioxidants to loosen dead surface cells and refine texture; Step 2 neutralizes, hydrates, and calms while infusing anti-aging actives. Formulated for fragile, dry, or first-time peel users, it aims to revive radiance without provoking redness or irritation. Use consistently to reveal smoother, more even, and dewy-looking skin that accepts serums and makeup better.

How does this peel fit into a sensitive-skin routine?

The formula is calibrated to provide daily exfoliation with reduced irritation risk, making it suitable for sensitive or dehydrated skin when used as directed. It replaces harsher physical scrubs or more aggressive peels and is best followed by nourishing hydrators and SPF during the day.

• Two-step design: exfoliate then neutralize/hydrate in under two minutes
• Mild combination of three acids (AHA/BHAs) for gentle resurfacing
• Soothing second step reduces potential redness while adding moisture
• Use before serums to improve absorption and makeup application

What results can I realistically expect and when?

Immediate improvements include a brighter surface and softer texture after a single use; cumulative benefits—reduced look of fine lines, more even tone, and smaller-looking pores—appear with regular daily application over weeks. Results vary by skin condition and complementary skincare.

• Instant: visible brightness and smoother skin after one treatment
• Short-term: improved hydration and reduced sensitivity when neutralized properly
• Ongoing: diminished fine lines and more uniform tone with consistent use
• Enhanced performance of other products due to cleared surface build-up

How do I use the two steps safely and effectively?

Start with clean, dry skin. Apply Step 1 pad to the face and neck to exfoliate, then follow immediately with Step 2 to neutralize, hydrate, and deliver antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients. Follow directions precisely and layer sunscreen during daytime.

• Cleanse gently before application; pat skin dry
• Wipe Step 1 across skin—leave on briefly per instructions
• Apply Step 2 to calm, hydrate, and deliver active ingredients
• Use SPF each morning and avoid combining with strong retinoids without guidance

Which skin concerns does this peel address best?

This formulation prioritizes hydration and gentleness, so it’s ideal for dehydrated, sensitive, or barrier-compromised skin that needs resurfacing without aggression. It helps with uneven texture, enlarged pores, and early signs of aging while calming and restoring comfort.

• Dry or flaky skin that needs gentle exfoliation
• Sensitive skin prone to irritation from stronger peels
• Uneven tone, texture irregularities, and enlarged pores
• First-time peel users seeking gradual clinical results

Who is this for: The Alpha Beta Ultra Gentle Daily Peel is formulated for people with dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin, and anyone new to chemical peels who wants a daily resurfacing step without pronounced irritation. It’s also suited to those looking to refine texture, minimize pore appearance, and boost skin radiance while supporting hydration. If you have active severe skin conditions or are using prescription-strength actives, consult a dermatologist before adding daily chemical exfoliation to your routine.
