• Visibly reduces pore size and helps prevent breakouts by regulating oil production
• Evens skin tone, minimizing areas of discoloration and enhances skin's radiance and clarity

Amazon.com Product Description

The MD Skincare® Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel (2 Steps, 60 Applications) is an innovative, anti-aging skincare system that promotes healthy, youthful skin. Devised by renowned dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross, the formula uses a gentle combination of alpha and beta hydroxy acids to treat wrinkles, breakouts, and other complexion problems. A simple two-step regimen, it takes only two minutes a day to maintain and comes with enough applications to last 60 days.

The Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel helps you achieve a radiant, glowing complexion in two easy steps. View larger.

Microexfoliation: A New Method of Skin Treatment
The Alpha Beta® system is built on MD Skincare®'s trademarked microexfoliation process. Microexfoliation is a gentle, non-irritating method of removing cellular debris from the surface of the skin. By stripping away this outer layer of dead cells, Alpha Beta® reveals a new layer of skin. The end result is a smoother, firmer, and blemish-free complexion.

Daily Two-Step System for Easy Maintenance
Much like practicing daily exercise is more beneficial than seeing a personal trainer once a month, treating your skin on a daily basis is more beneficial than relying on an occasional visit to your dermatologist. Significant, lasting improvement in skin quality can only be achieved through daily treatment. For this reason, the MD Skincare® Alpha Beta® regimen calls for daily use. Best results are delivered when the system is used consistently.

The system comes with soaked cotton pads, which offer an effective delivery method for the formula and make application easy. To use the system, simply follow two basic steps: first apply a step one alpha-beta pad, let it dry, and then follow up with a step two neutralizing formula pad. The total process takes up only two minutes of your time--a small price for renewed skin quality.

Younger, Clearer, and Healthier Skin
Thanks to its retinol agent, the Alpha Beta® system can provide users with anti-aging effects, ensuring that your skin remains beautiful as you get older. Designed to fit all skin types and ages, this system not only diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, but also balances oil, fights acne breakouts, and promotes a glowing complexion. The formula works to treat and reduce large pores, and helps calm redness and flushness in skin.

Potent but Gentle Formula Renews and Cleanses Skin
The Alpha Beta® system uses a carefully engineered mixture of organic chemicals to deliver the best possible results. Treatment is broken into two steps: alpha-beta refining and enriched neutralizing.

What's in the Box
The MD Skincare® Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel with one jar of Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel Step 1 Pads (60 applications) and one jar Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel Step 2 Pads (60 applications).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but buy the travel packets instead, May 8, 2006

jenny - See all my reviews

Like other reviewers, I thought this product worked very well on my extremely sensitive, dry, and yet acne-prone skin. I had the same problem though of having the pads dry out (as I didn't need/couldn't tolerate using it every day or want to spend $72/month.) When I went to order more, I noticed that for an additional $3 they sell a 30 day supply of individually wrapped "travel packettes" (search for "MD Skincare alpha beta peel".) Besides solving the drying out problem, this also saves the $1.20 lost each time I inadvertently used 2 pads at once (they stick together quite easily...)

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay but expected more, December 29, 2005

S. Dubya (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I have been using this product for about three months now. At first, it really seemed to be making my skin tone more clear and radiant. But my main problem is oily skin and adult acne (which is worse at 37 than it was at 17). And MD hasn't helped that at all. My skin is still an oil slick, and I still get frequent breakouts. Dealing with my breakouts has started to really tick me off now that I am spending around $100 a month on the MD skincare system, versus the $10.00 or so I used to spend on Neutrogena or the like. But to give MD credit, I have cruddy skin - large pores, oily all over, etc. I like the clean feeling the pads give me but it just doesn't seem worth the cost anymore. So I am moving on. Going to try Nucelle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skin Like Satin After Day One, March 11, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

(My skin is acne prone, and once I get a pimple it takes a week or more to clear up on its own. I have an oily forehead and nose and dry cheeks and chin, with all my breakouts occurring on my cheeks.)

I use this product every day. After the very first time of using it, my skin was satiny smooth in texture, save for the few pimples I already had. I pair this with Neutrogena's anti-acne/anti-wrinkle moisturizer that has salicylic acid and Retinol. For spot treatments on my blemishes, I use a Zeno device (seriously, if you have acne, invest in this wonder!) and sometimes a gylcolic acid solution.

The smell of this product is really nice. Step One usually causes my face to burn and tingle a little bit, especially near my eyes, but that sensation is gone once I use Step Two (the neutralizing step). I didn't have much trouble using the product. Sometimes the pad wads up and makes it hard to use in a circular motion. You do have to be careful to make sure you aren't taking out two pads at once, though, as they stick together frequently.

I would suggest buying the travel packettes, like someone else said. Aside from the "won't dry out in the jar" factor, the two jars are smallish, but are kind of bulky for travel and it would be way easier to just have the number of packets you needed for the trip.
