Face off: Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel

Let's "face" it — we could all use a little skincare help every now and then. But who has time to get to the spa for a facial? Luckily, with Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel (say that three times fast!), your days of bad skin are way behind you.

We'll start by saying that this product is just super fun to use. The two-step process makes us feel like we're performing some sort of science experiment. Each part of the process involves a product-soaked round pad that, once swept across the skin, almost immediately rids the visage of unsightly blackheads, enlarged pores and increased redness.

These pads are meant to work toward anti-aging, which means we were immediately on board. (Anything that makes people think we're years younger than we really are is, of course, fine by us.) To use, first sweep Step 1 across your skin. Wait about two minutes, then sweep Step 2 across, continuously sweeping until the pad feels dry.

While it may take a few days for blemishes, redness and dark spots to begin disappearing, you will notice increased luminosity upon the very first use. After only a few days, our skin was so glowy it looked as though we'd gotten about four facials!

The Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel is $78 for 30 applications at dgskincare.com.
