Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta pH Balance Replenishing Cream (50ml)

Your skin has a pH level. Most moisturizers ignore it. This one doesn't. The Alpha Beta® pH Balance Replenishing Cream is a lightweight gel-cream that goes beyond standard hydration to actively support your skin's natural pH balance and acid mantle - the invisible barrier that keeps skin calm, clear, and resilient. When that balance is disrupted, the consequences are familiar: sensitivity spikes, oil production increases, breakouts appear, and skin feels chronically dehydrated. A clinically backed electrolyte complex of Magnesium, Manganese, Copper, and Zinc PCA works alongside Phytic Acid, Linoleic Acid, and Phospholipids to restore balance, strengthen the barrier, and maintain it over time. The result is 24-hour hydration that adapts to your skin's specific needs - smoothing, soothing, and reducing redness without heaviness or grease. Works for all skin types. Designed to be used after your Dr. Dennis Gross peel and serum for optimal results.

Anyone whose skin feels chronically imbalanced - whether that shows up as excess oil and shine, persistent sensitivity, recurring breakouts, or dehydration that no standard moisturizer seems to fix. Works across all skin types and is particularly effective for those whose skin fluctuates between oily and dry depending on the day. 

• 24-Hour Hydration - A lightweight gel-cream texture delivers lasting hydration without heaviness, keeping skin smooth, comfortable, and balanced throughout the day and night.
• Restores pH Balance - A clinically backed electrolyte complex supports the skin's natural acid mantle, helping to maintain the pH balance that keeps skin calm, clear, and resilient.
• Strengthens the Moisture Barrier - Phytic Acid, Linoleic Acid, and Phospholipids work together to support and reinforce the skin's barrier function against environmental disruption.
• Controls Oil and Shine - Phytic Acid and Zinc PCA help manage excess oil production and reduce visible shine for a balanced, matte-leaning finish.
• Visibly Reduces Redness - Bisabolol, Centella Asiatica, and Aloe help calm and soothe reactive skin, visibly reducing redness over time.
• Enhances Antioxidant Absorption - Lactic Acid increases the absorption and performance of the antioxidants in the formula for greater overall efficacy.
• Adapts to Your Skin - Formulated to respond to your skin's specific needs rather than delivering a one-size-fits-all result.
• Clinically Tested - In a one-week clinical trial of 30 participants, 90% saw smooth, balanced, and restored skin and 86% saw less oily, shine-free skin. In a four-week trial, 93% felt soothed skin and 86% saw improved skin texture. 

• Electrolyte Complex (Magnesium PCA, Manganese PCA, Copper PCA, Zinc PCA, Sodium PCA, Potassium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, Calcium Chloride) - A multi-mineral electrolyte complex that hydrates, balances, and supports the skin's acid mantle and moisture barrier function.
• Phytic Acid - Helps control oil production, reduce shine, and support the skin's natural pH balance while gently clearing pore congestion.
• Linoleic Acid - An essential fatty acid that reinforces the skin's lipid barrier and helps restore moisture balance, particularly in skin prone to dryness and sensitivity.
• Phospholipids - Support the skin's natural barrier structure and help maintain healthy hydration levels throughout the day.
• Lactic Acid - Gently exfoliates the skin's surface and enhances the absorption and performance of antioxidants in the formula.
• Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) - Draws moisture into the skin to maintain hydration levels and keep skin visibly plump and comfortable. 
• Niacinamide - Strengthens the moisture barrier, evens skin tone, and helps reduce excess oil production and redness.
• Chaga Mushroom (Inonotus Obliquus Extract) - A potent antioxidant that protects against free radical damage and supports overall skin health.
• Centella Asiatica Extract - Soothes and calms reactive skin, supports barrier repair, and helps improve overall skin resilience.
• Bisabolol - Soothes and calms skin with gentle anti-inflammatory properties, helping to visibly reduce redness.
• Sea Grape (Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract) - A marine-derived ingredient rich in minerals and hydrating compounds that supports skin moisture and overall health.
• Phytosterols - Plant-derived compounds that help reinforce the skin's lipid barrier and support healthy barrier function.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) - An antioxidant that protects against free radical damage and works synergistically with other actives in the formula.
• Adenosine - Helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting overall skin firmness. 

Use morning and/or night. Pump 1-2 times to dispense. Massage into clean, dry skin. For optimal results, apply after your Dr. Dennis Gross peel and serum. 

Most moisturizers are built around hydration ingredients alone. This one is built around the understanding that hydration works better when your skin's pH is stable. The electrolyte approach is genuinely differentiated - electrolytes regulate moisture at a cellular level, which is why skin that feels perpetually dehydrated or imbalanced often responds better to this kind of formula than to a standard cream. The lightweight gel-cream texture means it works across a broader range of skin types than a richer formula would, and the clinical results at both one and four weeks show meaningful improvement in oil control, texture, and soothing. A smart, science-led moisturizer for anyone whose skin never quite feels settled.
