Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel — 60 Treatments, Pre-Soaked Exfoliating Towelettes

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel delivers a stronger, fast-acting chemical peel in handy pre-soaked towelettes for brighter, smoother-looking skin without downtime.

These single-use, dual-sided cotton pads combine higher concentrations of alpha and beta hydroxy acids with added anti-aging boosters — including mandelic acid and willow bark extract — to exfoliate dead skin cells, refine texture, and target uneven tone. Formulated from the brand’s patented Alpha Beta technology, this Extra Strength version is designed to accelerate surface renewal while remaining gentle enough for controlled daily use as tolerated. The kit contains 60 two-step treatments, packaged for at-home convenience and travel.

How does this extra-strength peel differ from the regular Alpha Beta Daily Peel?

The Extra Strength formula increases the levels of AHAs and BHAs while introducing new botanically derived actives to boost exfoliation and skin-smoothing benefits. It preserves the two-step application method—step one prepares and applies acids, step two soothes and neutralizes—so users get a more intensive result without changing the routine.

• Higher concentrations of glycolic, lactic, and salicylic-type acids for faster surface turnover
• Mandelic acid and willow bark extract added for improved texture and clarity
• Same patented two-step towelette system for simple, mess-free use

What skin concerns can this product help address?

This peel is targeted at visible signs of aging and texture issues rather than medical conditions. Regular use can help diminish the look of fine lines, reduce pore visibility, and even out skin tone by promoting removal of dull surface cells. It’s also formulated to address occasional breakouts through beta hydroxy activity.

• Softens the appearance of fine lines and surface roughness
• Refines pores and assists with topical congestion and breakouts
• Improves the look of dark spots and uneven pigmentation over time

How do I use the two-step towelettes safely and effectively?

The system uses two pre-soaked pads per treatment: Step 1 contains the active exfoliating acids; Step 2 delivers calming, neutralizing ingredients. Apply step one across the face (avoiding eyes and lips) for the time recommended by your tolerance, then follow with step two to restore balance. Start gradually—use fewer times per week—and increase frequency as your skin adjusts.

• Begin with once or twice weekly, increasing to daily as tolerated
• Avoid combining with other strong actives (retinoids, other peels) without guidance
• Always follow with sunscreen during daytime; acids increase sun sensitivity

Will this cause irritation or downtime?

The Extra Strength formula is designed for intensified results while minimizing recovery time through buffering and soothing agents in the second towelette. Some users may experience temporary redness, mild tingling, or dryness during the adjustment period; these effects typically subside as skin acclimates. If you have highly reactive skin, perform a patch test and consult a skincare professional before regular use.

• Possible transient redness or peeling during initial use
• Second towelette helps calm and neutralize after acids
• Patch testing recommended for sensitive or compromised skin

Who is this for: The Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel is aimed at adults seeking a clinical-grade at-home exfoliation that targets fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven tone, and occasional breakouts. It suits experienced acid users or those wanting accelerated results over the original formula; beginners should introduce it slowly and consult a dermatologist if unsure. The 60-treatment supply makes it practical for regular routines or travel-conscious users who favor a convenient, pre-measured application method.
