Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel for Oily Skin — 30 Treatments, Two-Step AHA/BHA Exfoliant

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel is a two-step, professional-grade daily peel that rapidly exfoliates, refines pores, and evens skin tone using a higher-concentration AHA/BHA blend.

This extra-strength version of the bestselling Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel pairs five chemical exfoliants with antioxidants and vitamins in an easy two-step system designed for home use. Formulated to address oily skin, uneven tone or texture, fine lines and enlarged pores, it delivers visible smoothing and brighter-looking skin in minutes while improving how the rest of your skincare performs.

How quickly will I see smoother, more even skin?

Visible brightening and a smoother surface are often noticeable immediately after the two-step treatment, with cumulative improvements in texture and tone when used regularly. The combination of AHAs and BHAs exfoliates surface dead skin and clears pores to reveal fresher skin beneath.

• Two-step application: step 1 primes with acids; step 2 neutralizes and hydrates.
• Immediate radiance and refined skin surface within minutes.
• Regular use enhances results for texture, pores, and uneven tone.

Is this safe for oily or acne-prone skin?

The formula targets excess oil and impurities while helping to keep pores clearer, making it suitable for oily and combination skin types. Because this is the extra-strength version, patch testing and gradual introduction are recommended for sensitive or reactive skin.

• Five-acid blend balances oil control and surface exfoliation.
• Antioxidants and vitamins help support skin resilience post-peel.
• Start with less frequent use if you have sensitivity; follow product directions.

How does this fit into a daily skincare routine?

Use the two-step peel as directed—typically once daily—to prep skin for serums and moisturizers by removing dead cells that can block absorption. Because it increases skin’s rate of renewal, always follow with SPF during daytime to protect newly revealed skin.

• Apply step 1 to clean, dry skin for the acid exfoliation phase.
• Follow with step 2 to neutralize and soothe; then continue with serums and moisturizer.
• Use sunscreen after daytime treatments to protect renewed skin.

What results can I expect for pores and fine lines?

The combination of alpha and beta hydroxy acids helps to clear pore congestion and smooth the surface, which can make pores look smaller and lines less pronounced over time. Consistent use improves overall skin texture, helping makeup apply more evenly.

• Pore-decongesting beta hydroxy action reduces the look of enlarged pores.
• Alpha hydroxy acids accelerate surface cell turnover for smoother skin.
• Regular application enhances product absorption and makeup finish.

Who is this for: This extra-strength Alpha Beta Daily Peel suits people with oily, textured, or uneven skin who want a clinical-level exfoliation at home. It’s appropriate for those seeking faster visible results from a daily peel, provided users introduce the treatment carefully if they have sensitive or reactive skin. The formula is vegan, paraben-free, and cruelty-free, offering a robust option for anyone aiming to refine pores, brighten tone, and smooth skin texture while integrating easily into a daily regimen.
