Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel Pads — 60 Treatments, 2-Step AHA/BHA Exfoliating System for Smoother, Bright

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel is a two-step, presoaked exfoliating pad system that delivers higher-strength AHA/BHA acids plus antioxidant boosters for visibly smoother, brighter skin in minutes.

This two-step daily peel pairs a stronger AHA/BHA acid blend with targeted anti-aging boosters on single-use cotton towelettes so you can get clinical-style exfoliation at home without complex mixing. Each treatment is pre-measured and fast: Step 1 applies the acid exfoliant and Step 2 neutralizes and delivers calming, corrective ingredients. The package contains 60 treatments (two pads per treatment) designed to refine texture, temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores, and improve skin radiance when used consistently.

How quickly will I notice smoother, more radiant skin?

Many users report an immediate glow and softer texture after one use because surface dead skin and excess oil are lifted away. With regular daily use over weeks, improvements in tone, visible pores, and the look of fine lines become more apparent.

• Instant: visible brightness and smoother touch within minutes
• Short-term: improved makeup application and skin feel after several uses
• Long-term: progressive refinement of texture and more even tone with continued daily use

What makes the Extra Strength formula different from the original?

Extra Strength contains higher concentrations of the five alpha and beta hydroxy acids used in the original Alpha Beta peel, plus added antioxidant and vitamin boosters that target signs of aging. The elevated acid levels increase exfoliation potency while the second-step pad soothes and delivers corrective actives to help balance the skin post-peel.

• Stronger AHA/BHA blend for deeper surface exfoliation
• Added antioxidants and vitamins for anti-aging support
• Two-step system: acid application then neutralizing/corrective pad

Is this safe for sensitive or reactive skin?

The formula is designed for broad skin-type compatibility and includes a Step 2 pad to calm and restore the skin after acids. However, because this is an extra-strength peel, those with very reactive, compromised, or extremely sensitive skin should patch test first and consider less frequent use or consulting a professional.

• Step 2 helps reduce immediate irritation and supports barrier recovery
• Patch test on a small area before full-face application
• Adjust frequency if you experience redness or excessive dryness

How do I incorporate these pads into my routine safely?

Use the two-step pads as directed in the evening or when sun exposure will be limited; follow with sunscreen during daytime. Apply Step 1 across the face, allow the acids to work briefly, then follow with Step 2 to neutralize and deliver soothing actives—finish with your regular moisturizer.

• Use at night or when avoiding direct sun; always apply SPF daytime
• Follow the two-step sequence: exfoliating pad then neutralizing pad
• Layer serums and creams after treatment to maximize absorption

Who this is for: This product suits people seeking a convenient, high-performance at-home peel who want stronger exfoliation than standard daily acids provide. It's ideal for those addressing uneven texture, dullness, enlarged pores, and early signs of aging who are comfortable introducing a more potent AHA/BHA treatment into their regimen. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, start slowly, patch test, or consult your dermatologist.
