Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel 30 Treatments — daily exfoliating peel to refine texture & even tone

Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel is a two‑step daily exfoliating peel that refines texture, evens tone, and targets fine lines and enlarged pores with five AHAs/BHAs plus retinol and antioxidants.

Designed by dermatologist Dr Dennis Gross, this 30‑treatment kit is a ready‑to‑use, at‑home peel that layers targeted acids with skin‑soothing botanicals and antioxidant actives. It delivers chemical exfoliation without rinsing: an initial acid blend pad primes and resurfaces, followed by a neutralizing/conditioning pad that hydrates and calms. The formula combines salicylic acid, multiple alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, ubiquinone (CoQ10) and resveratrol—ingredients chosen to refine pores, smooth texture and support visible radiance when used as directed.

How do the two steps work and what should I expect?

The system uses a sequential delivery: Step 1 applies the active acid and retinol complex to exfoliate and loosen surface buildup; Step 2 deposits hydrating antioxidants and calming agents to balance and soothe. Each pad is pre‑soaked and intended to dry on the skin—no rinsing required. You may notice temporary warmth or slight tingling; this is a normal response to active exfoliation.

• Step 1: five AHAs/BHAs plus salicylic acid and retinol to target texture and pores.
• Wait two minutes between steps to let actives penetrate.
• Step 2: neutralizing and hydrating antioxidants like resveratrol and ubiquinone.
• Use as instructed—do not rinse; follow with sunscreen daytime.

Can I use this daily and on what skin types?

This formula was created for daily use and is suitable for many skin types, including combination and oilier skin concerned with texture, tone and enlarged pores. Sensitive skin users should patch test first and monitor for irritation; if sensitivity occurs, reduce frequency. Because the peel contains acids and retinol, always pair with daily sun protection.

• Daily use: yes, designed for everyday application.
• Skin types: normal, combination, oily; patch test if sensitive.
• Adjust frequency if redness or excessive dryness appears.
• Essential: apply broad‑spectrum SPF after use in the morning.

What ingredients drive results and what do they do?

The peel combines multiple chemical exfoliants with antioxidant and repairing ingredients to address texture and the look of fine lines. Salicylic acid (a BHA) helps clear pores, while a blend of AHAs encourages surface cell turnover. Retinol supports cellular turnover and skin renewal; resveratrol and ubiquinone deliver antioxidant support to help protect and condition the skin after exfoliation.

• Salicylic Acid: pore‑penetrating exfoliant for clearer texture.
• Five AHAs: surface exfoliation for brighter, smoother tone.
• Retinol: supports renewal and visible fine line improvement over time.
• Resveratrol & ubiquinone: antioxidants that help soothe and protect post‑peel skin.

How do I use the Alpha Beta Daily Peel safely and effectively?

Start with clean, dry skin. Massage Step 1 pad over face until the pad dries, then wait two minutes. Repeat using Step 2 pad and allow to dry; do not rinse either step. Incorporate sunscreen into daytime routine and follow product guidance on frequency if you’re new to active exfoliation.

• Cleanse and dry skin before starting.
• Massage Step 1 until pad dries; wait two minutes.
• Massage Step 2 until dry; do not rinse either step.
• Use daily as directed; apply SPF the next morning.

Who this is for: This kit suits shoppers seeking a clinically devised, at‑home chemical peel to refine uneven tone, smooth rough texture and address enlarged pores or the appearance of fine lines. It appeals to those who prefer a convenient, pad‑based delivery with antioxidant support and who are prepared to use sun protection after treatment. Not ideal for individuals who cannot tolerate acids or retinol—consult a dermatologist if unsure.
