Tried + Tested: MD Skincare Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel

Once upon a time in the not so distant past there was a girl who lamented her not so horrible skin. She wished for a serious pore declogger, and sang the blues about her weird white bumps. And she was so distraught about her not so horrible skin that she did the unmentionable, and what some would consider the worst offense—she picked and popped.

This girl also had another problem; her not so horrible skin was—gasp!—aging. Fine lines started to appear across her forehead and she experienced some discoloration along her jaw. And she felt like the end was near. She felt like her not so horrible skin was destined to become oh-so horrible and she might as well have a warted nose, for that was how horrible her skin began to feel.

But then her dermy fairy godfather shone down upon her with the über popular Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel 30-day supply ($75).

This fancy two-step system features a squeaky pore cleaner, sal. acid along with a blend of AHAs to banish breakouts and even skin tone. The vitamin combo of A, C and E counteract the signs of aging, while green tea extracts help plump and moisturize slackening skin. Results are pretty instantaneous, but the girl with not so horrible skin will post pics of her weekly progress.

Here's the first pre-system.
