After seeing the harsh, irritating effects of chemical peels in the 1990s, renowned dermatologist and skin cancer researcher Dr. Dennis Gross began designing his own formulas using natural and gentle ingredients to keep skin healthy. He created a revolution in skin care with his now-famous Alpha Beta Peel, using alpha and beta hydroxy acids. His patients loved the product so much, the at-home version was born. On word of mouth alone, retailers approached him to distribute his proprietary formula to provide individuals with products that are comfortable to use and offer visible results. All Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare products are multi-functional and use only medical-grade ingredients that work synergistically with each other.
