Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel is an interesting skin care option offered by MD Skincare. MD Skincare is a fairly extensive line of skin care products designed by one Dr. Dennis Gross, and other products that they offer include treatments for Rosacea, Oily Skin, sun care and acne. The Alpha Derma Face Peel is actually a 2-step system that promises comprehensive skin care, and also offers users a “Microexfoliation” option, which is a fairly unique concept. MD Skincare claims that the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel is gentle and will not irritate skin, and that there is no recovery time involved with the Microexfoliation process.

The Alpha Beta Beta Daily Face Peel claims to “remove cellular debris” from the skin’s surface. This, in turn, will lead to a smoother and more even skin tone for the user. On the official Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel website, Dr. Gross states that he devised this daily skin treatment around the same principles as daily exercise, and he theorizes that it is better to gently cleanse tha face daily than to get a harsh treatment such as microdermabrasion once per week.

Product Details

While we know this is a two-step process, the details of the two steps involved in Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel are not made clear. It looks as if one step involves a cream or lotion of some sort, and the second is a scrubbing pad. This second step is likely the element most crucial to Microexfoliation. Also, we are told users should administer the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel every day, but it is not clear if this is in the evening or in the morning.

The ingredients in step 1 of the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel are: Salicylic Acid, Chamomilla Recutita Matricaria (Chamomile) Extract, Citric Acid, Copper PCA, Disodium EDTA, Parfum (Fragrance), Glycolic Acid, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract, Lactic Acid, Malic Acid, Polysorbate-20, Agua (Water), Alcohol Denat., Sodium Benzoate, Soy Isoflavones, Genestein, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract, Zinc PCA.

The ingredients in step 1 of the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel are: Water, Dimethicone, Camellia Sinesis (Green Tea) Extract, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Cholecalciferol, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Phospholipids, Soy Isoflavones, Genestein, Retinol, Copper PCA, Chamomilla Recutita Matricaria (Chamomile) Extract, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Hydroxide, Diazolidinyl Urea, Tetrasodium EDTA.

The Good

  • The Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel offers microexfoliation, which is fairly unique.
  • On the official product website, Dr. Dennis Gross has posted a podcast explaining some detail of this product.

The Bad

  • The second step of the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel contains parabens, which are potentially irritating synthetic preservatives.
  • It’s still not very clear what “microexfoliation” is, or if it’s just a marketing term.
  • Of course, MD Skincare promises best results if this product is used with a suite of other MD Skincare products.
  • No free trial offer seems to be available at this time.

The Bottom Line

There are some interesting ideas associated with the Alpha Beta Face Peel product, but we still have a lot of questions. We’ve found that some of the best wrinkle treatments use unique peptides to stimulate collagen production within the skin and, when all is said and done, the Alpha Beta Face Peel seems to be more of a cleanser.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
