Product Description |
|
The revolutionary product that made Dr. Dennis Gross famous, this two-step, at-home peel in ready-to-use pads delivers both immediate results and long-term benefits. The patented system provides a precise blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity, plus moisturizers, green tea extract, and antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E to leave skin soothed, balanced, protected.

Product Details |
- Because every acid has its own benefits, using 5 instead of 1 makes the Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel more effective than those with just 1 acid
- Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and improving skin density and firmness
- Visibly reduces pore size and helps prevent breakouts by regulating oil production
- Evens skin tone, minimizing areas of discoloration and enhances skin's radiance and clarity
- Effectively treats and soothes stubborn skin conditions, such as acne and rosacea

 Skin Like Satin After Day One |
| Review Date: March 12, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Molly Cat McBride, Minneapolis, MN USA |
(My skin is acne prone, and once I get a pimple it takes a week or more to clear up on its own. I have an oily forehead and nose and dry cheeks and chin, with all my breakouts occurring on my cheeks.)
I use this product every day. After the very first time of using it, my skin was satiny smooth in texture, save for the few pimples I already had. I pair this with Neutrogena's anti-acne/anti-wrinkle moisturizer that has salicylic acid and Retinol. For spot treatments on my blemishes, I use a Zeno device (seriously, if you have acne, invest in this wonder!) and sometimes a gylcolic acid solution.
The smell of this product is really nice. Step One usually causes my face to burn and tingle a little bit, especially near my eyes, but that sensation is gone once I use Step Two (the neutralizing step). I didn't have much trouble using the product. Sometimes the pad wads up and makes it hard to use in a circular motion. You do have to be careful to make sure you aren't taking out two pads at once, though, as they stick together frequently.
I would suggest buying the travel packettes, like someone else said. Aside from the "won't dry out in the jar" factor, the two jars are smallish, but are kind of bulky for travel and it would be way easier to just have the number of packets you needed for the trip. |
SO Expensive BUT...

| Great product! I have used many a skin care product and this was by far the best one. But because its so expensive i have to buy it sparingly. (Im not a high roller) I have ordered this product twice in the last year and it works right away. The problem is you really have to use them all in 30 days or the pads will dry up on you. This is dissapointing since i really dont need to use them everyday. Nonetheless this product works...if i had the money i would keep a ready supply in my cabinet. |
Wonderful product, just strong enough

| Reviewer: T. Webb, San Francisco, Ca USA |
| I was worried about using a peel every day, and spending $75 per month on it, so I only used it two or three times per week. One supply ended up lasting three months, and I didnt have any trouble with the pads drying out. I kept them tightly sealed, and we live in a temperate climate, so maybe that helped. The difference it made to my skin was immediate and wonderful. I have a nagging rash like problem on my forehead and cheeks due to a yeast allergy (yes, I'm allergic to my own skin!) and this product made it completely disappear as it eliminated the build up of old skin cells. My previously troubled skin was quite glowing. Very pleased and will continue to use this. |

| i was first introduced to this product by my facialist. i think it is wonderful. i have been using the alpha beta pads for a few years now and they are a part of my daily routine. they are easy to use, come in indvidual packettes (wonderful for travel) and i saw results very quickly. i found the product reduced the brown spots on my face, thus evening out the coloration. i also find the pads help to control my dry skin, but use of a good moisturizer afterwards is necessary. |
Great daily peel

| Reviewer: Jess, New York, NY |
| This is a great product - easy to use daily, and works great. I think the purpose of it is not for acne (as one complainer tried) but for anti-aging/exfoliation. Mild but effective. |
My Favorite~

Crack Pads!

| Review Date: October 13, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Delightfully Yours, |
| I feel like Whitney with these pads. If I go more than one day without these pads my skin feels disgusting. Since using these pads my breakouts have decreased, I'm not as oily, my face feels firmer and my orange peel textured skin is so much smoother. You will become addicted to these things! The packettes are very convenient for travel, but I keep the 60 count jars on my sink at all times. I also don't have to use a facial mask anymore. These pads are such a time saver. |
Amazing Product..Instant results

| Reviewer: Forgotten Flower, California |
| I have probably tried over half the items in Sephora stores and I see a Dermatologist who calls me her little trial girl. A few months ago I had surgery by the time I recovered (took about 6 weeks) I realized I hadn't had a facial in a long time but still was not ready to go out and do "extra activtes" and so I tried a few at home facials. I am not saying that they didn't work but I didn't rinse my face off and think Wow I look Great! I had pretty much given up when I was going through my box of free samples Sephore sends out with there orders. They kept sending me a samply of this daily facial peel so many times I was so tired of seeing the orange writing I was about to tose them but thought, "Why not try it before I toss them." It takes less than 10 minutes to do and when I was finished I was AMAZED! My skin looked so great. I went from Blah skin to looking alive and bright again. So I went out immeditatly and bought the 2month pack and have not regretted once (except if I don't use it-my skin is not so perky). I love this peel. I have sensitive skin, a break out once in awhile and dry skin. I would recommend EVERYONE to try this! My dermatoligest even agreed with ingredients used on a daily basis even with the other anti-aging stuff I use (RetinA-MD Pervage, TNS eye cream) that this would help. So give it a try....it could change your skin! |

| I used the peel kit for the recommended 30 days and saw results a lot sooner than that. It's so simple and worth it. |
Perfect Product

| Reviewer: Parent To Child, |
| This product will change your skin overnight. I first tried it as a free sample from Sephora and expected nothing. The morning after using the sample my face was completely different. I have never had that kind of change and I do not have problem skin. Not at all. I have been fortunate to have really great skin so that fact that there was a difference really took me by surprise. I would not go a day without using these pads and I have never needed or endorsed a skin care product, never. If it improved my skin (which I did not think needed improving) then I can only imagine what it would do for a person with problem skin. |

This product is really good. Makes my skin so smooth that is unbelievable!
One thing that is not addressing is my acne. Well, can't have all in one product... |
Easy to carry and use, great results!

| Reviewer: consult.ting, |
| Highly recommended! I prefer the individually wrapped packettes because they are convenient to carry. In addition, they won't dry out if you don't use them quickly - a problem I had with the multiple applications in one jar form of this product. The results are amazing - clearer, brighter skin almost right away. |
It's like having a facial on the go

| Reviewer: CMoya, northern california, USA |
| I've been using this product for over a year and it is great to clean out your pores (I have an oily t-zone) and it's so quick. These wipes are perfect for using after a good workout at the gym. Use the MD Skincare all in one toner and then use this stuff and you got great healthy skin. They have these in their own containers (step 1 in one box and step 2 in another box) but having the easy packettes make it convenient for travel and the gym. |
Well worth it!

| I am 53 and have large pores and very congested skin. I have been using Neutrogena with salicylic acid for a face wash and toner. It helped but didn't quite get the results I have been searching for. I have spent so much money on so many products claiming to work but only to be disappointed. I searched the internet and found this product. I has been wonderful for my skin. I don't use it every day as I have very sensitive skin so I am using it every other day. Amazing product!! |
Great, but buy the travel packets instead

| Reviewer: jenny, |
| Like other reviewers, I thought this product worked very well on my extremely sensitive, dry, and yet acne-prone skin. I had the same problem though of having the pads dry out (as I didn't need/couldn't tolerate using it every day or want to spend $72/month.) When I went to order more, I noticed that for an additional $3 they sell a 30 day supply of individually wrapped "travel packettes" (search for "MD Skincare alpha beta peel".) Besides solving the drying out problem, this also saves the $1.20 lost each time I inadvertently used 2 pads at once (they stick together quite easily...) |
