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

Week One and the girl with not so horrible skin feels prettier and less bumpy. Her skin texture is smoother and getting' all even Steven. And the girl with not so horrible skin swears that the 5x mirror must be broken, because she's having a hard time finding those blackheads that the week before she was wondering if they'd ever stop taunting her.

And as it turns out, the girl with not so horrible skin isn't alone in her remarkable transformation. It seems that the ladies at Lucky and beauty publicists across the land are singing the super praises of the two-step complexion perfection system by derm. divo Dr. Gross.

Step One's powerful scrubbers have semi-banished those unsightly white bumps. And there's only the problem of a few up by the corner of the right eye as opposed to the dozen that was lining the upper cheek. And the pad's sal. acid sweeps away icky cellular debris that clogs pores and creates the blackhead groodieness. After two minutes of letting Step One do its deal. (The girl with not so horrible skin suggests double-timin' it with a Clarisonic Skincare Brush. Since it beeps, you know that it's exactly the right time!) It's time for Step Two to, um, step in and deposit some special moisturizing complexes to give an extra boom-boom boost.

The girl with not so horrible skin still needs to attack those fine lines on the forehead...
