Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel (30-60 treatments)

Two minutes. Two steps. A clinical-grade peel you can actually use every day.

The Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel is Dr. Dennis Gross's best-selling, dermatologist-developed exfoliating treatment - and the product that built the brand's reputation. Step 1 delivers a precisely calibrated blend of five AHA/BHA acids to loosen and lift dead skin cells, immediately boosting radiance, refining texture, minimizing the appearance of pores, and smoothing fine lines. Step 2 neutralizes acidity and floods skin with antioxidants and anti-aging actives - Retinol, Resveratrol, CoQ10, and Green Tea - to protect, repair, and restore.

No rinsing. No downtime. No guesswork. Just two pre-measured packettes and skin that looks noticeably better starting week one.

Available in a 30-pack or 60-pack.

Built for first-time peel users and anyone dealing with dullness, uneven texture, visible pores, or early signs of aging. Works best for oily, normal, and combination skin types. If you've been curious about chemical exfoliation but cautious about irritation, this is your entry point.

• Immediate Radiance - AHAs accelerate cell turnover to remove surface dullness and reveal brighter, healthier-looking skin from the very first use.
• Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles - Daily AHA exfoliation gently buffs away the skin cells that settle into lines, visibly softening their appearance over time.
• Evens Tone and Texture - A combined AHA/BHA action clears away dead skin buildup to reveal fresher, more uniform skin underneath.
• Two-Step Acid Neutralization - Step 2's pH-shifting Neutralizer stops acid activity at exactly the right moment, preventing over-exfoliation while stimulating collagen production.
• Antioxidant Protection - Green Tea, Resveratrol, and CoQ10 defend against free radical damage and environmental stressors that accelerate premature aging.
• Clinically Tested Results - In a clinical and consumer perception study, 92% saw a brighter, firmer, clearer complexion in one week, and 100% saw improved hydration in two weeks (28 participants each). 

Step 1

• Glycolic Acid- An AHA that exfoliates the skin's surface, accelerates cell turnover, and improves radiance and texture.
• Lactic Acid  - A gentler AHA that lifts dead skin cells while drawing moisture into the skin — effective and well-tolerated for most skin types.
• Malic Acid  - An AHA derived from fruit that supports exfoliation and works synergistically with glycolic and lactic acids for a more balanced peel.
• Salicylic Acid  - A BHA that penetrates into pores to dissolve excess oil, clear congestion, and reduce breakouts.
• Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana Water) - Tones and tightens the appearance of pores while calming post-exfoliation sensitivity.
• Chamomile (Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract) - Soothes and calms skin with natural anti-inflammatory properties. 

Step 2

• Retinol  - Stimulates collagen production, smooths lines and wrinkles, and improves skin elasticity and hydration over time.
• Resveratrol - A powerful antioxidant that defends against free radical damage, supports barrier function, and helps even skin tone.
• CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) - A naturally occurring antioxidant that energises skin, protects against environmental damage, and reduces the visible signs of aging.
• Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract) - Rich in polyphenols that combat photodamage, reduce redness and oil production, and protect against oxidative stress.
• Adenosine - Helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting overall skin firmness. 

Use once daily, morning or night. Massage Step 1 onto clean, dry skin. Wait 2 minutes. Follow with Step 2, applying over the same area. First-time peel users: start every other day and build up to daily use as skin adjusts. Always follow with SPF during daytime use. When your skin is ready for more, upgrade to the Alpha Beta® Extra Strength Daily Peel.

This is the product that introduced at-home chemical exfoliation to a generation of skincare converts - and it still earns its place in routines nearly two decades later. The two-step format isn't a gimmick: isolating the acids from the neutraliser gives you the precision of a professional peel in a two-minute daily ritual. For anyone who's been putting off adding exfoliation to their routine, this is the most accessible, well-researched place to start. Available in a 30-pack to try it, or a 60-pack once you're in.
