Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Exfoliating Daily Peel — 30 Pack, two-step AHA/BHA brightening treatment

Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Exfoliating Daily Peel is a two-step, at-home AHA/BHA peel system designed to exfoliate, refine texture, and brighten skin in a single daily treatment.

This thirty-pack of pre-saturated peel pads delivers a dermatologist-formulated combination of five alpha and beta hydroxy acids plus supporting antioxidants and retinol to help reveal smoother, more luminous skin. The convenient two-step pads let you apply an acid blend, wait briefly, then follow with a neutralizing antioxidant and peptide-rich second pad to address tone and firmness without a complicated routine.

How does this two-step peel work and why are there two different pads?

The system separates exfoliation and neutralization into discrete steps to promote effective resurfacing while minimizing irritation. Step 1 contains a blend of AHAs and BHAs to loosen dead surface cells and clear pores; Step 2 contains antioxidant-rich actives that restore pH balance and deliver peptides, retinol, and coenzyme support.

• Step 1: five alpha/beta hydroxy acids to gently lift dull skin and clear congestion.
• Two-minute wait to allow acids to work before applying Step 2.
• Step 2: 12 antioxidants, peptides, retinol and ubiquinone to calm and treat.
• Pre-saturated single-use pads for hygienic, travel-friendly application.

What visible improvements can I expect and how quickly?

Most users notice immediate surface brightness after the first use thanks to removal of dead skin cells. With regular daily use, texture appears smoother, pores look more refined, and skin tone becomes more even. Results depend on skin type and consistency of use.

• Instant: fresher, brighter-looking skin after one application.
• Short term (2–4 weeks): improved texture and pore clarity with routine use.
• Ongoing: gradual reduction in the appearance of fine lines and a firmer look over time.

How should I introduce this peel into my skincare routine?

Start by using the peel every other day if you’re new to chemical exfoliation, then increase to once daily as tolerated. Apply on clean, dry skin—wipe the face with Step 1, wait two minutes, then follow with Step 2. Always follow with sunscreen in the morning because AHAs/BHAs can increase sun sensitivity.

• First-time users: every other day until skin acclimates.
• Target application: face, neck, chest as tolerated—avoid eyes and lips.
• Sunscreen: apply daily SPF after morning use to protect renewed skin.

Who is this for?

This product is suited for adults seeking an at-home professional-strength exfoliant to address dullness, uneven texture, and visible pores without multiple separate serums. It works for many skin types, though those with highly reactive or compromised skin should patch-test and progress slowly. Cruelty-free and formulated without parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and with vegan-friendly ingredients, this daily peel is practical for busy people who want a compact, science-backed resurfacing step in their regimen.
