Our experience:
Tester skin type: oily, acne-prone, hyper-pigmentation, sensitive skin.
In the past, I have had light chemical peels at the dermatologist’s office. This seemed like a great alternative to the office visits. However, what I discovered is that this should not be used in place of dermatologist strength chemical peels. This is more of a supplement, or for someone who doesn’t actually need a *real* peel. One positive aspect of this product is that it does not easily irritate sensitive skin (or at least mine); I didn’t peel at all, so there is no peel-y “down time” with this product. Unfortunately, this is also why the product isn’t as effective as the chemical peels at the dermatologist’s. To me, the Dr. Gross Alpha Beta peel seemed like it had the same effect that a scrub would have, and perhaps some people would prefer this method over a scrub for getting off the top layer or dead skin. With a good skincare routine, I do think this would be helpful in smoothing out the complexion and mild skin tone issues (it really did nothing for my moderate hyper-pigmentation). In the end, it didn’t seem strong enough for drastic results.
Pros– effective and easy to use.
Cons– I’m not sure if it is effective enough for the price.
Rating: 7 out of 10 lipsticks.
