Details & care

What it is: A patented two-step daily face peel carefully dosed with five alpha and beta hydroxy acids, making it a perfect choice for first-time peel users.

What it does: Step 1 exfoliates to remove the dead skin cells, while Step 2 immediately nourishes this newly revealed layer of skin with hydrating, anti-aging ingredients. The doctor-designed peel fights top signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and uneven skin texture.

How to use: Use daily, AM or PM. Gently swipe a Step 1 pad on clean, dry skin. Start at center of face and swipe pad in circular motion, repeat on other cheek, then nose, chin, forehead, neck and décolletage. For maximum results, wait two minutes before repeating with Step 2. Do not rinse after either step or use products that contain alcohol.

not the extra strength

I do a lot to my skin. I always have. So I’ve got some experience with different products that are considered “active” skin care. This product is wonderful in that you do see and feel a simple cosmetic difference relatively quickly. I got a 5 day pack and by day 3 could really feel a difference. It’s mild enough to not irritate your skin. Here’s the problem, it’s expensive and it’s daily. Some nights I’m lucky to get my makeup off at all let alone do a treatment after hand. I saw in my research that there’s an extra strength version, I’m going to try that this next time and do it every other day and see if the results are comparable. It would be less work and less expensive if so!

Too strong for my skin

Unfortunately, the Universal Daily Peel was too strong for my skin. It caused my skin to burn with pain and I broke out in rashes with each use. I also applied the peel to the back of my hand and had the same results. . All the other products by Dr. Dennis Gross have been great and I would highly recommend them. Needless to say, this was not the results I was hoping for with the daily peels. I've attached a photo with my left hand with the daily peel applied and the right hand with no daily peel applied.

Burned my face

I do not have sensitive skin and this BURNED my face. I had to use an intensive healing balm for multiple days to heal my face. If you are going to try it, which I don't recommend, try the one for sensitive skin.

Great Peel Pads

I don’t have acne prone skin but will get a pimple every now and then. These help with that and also seem to improve my complexion. I usually just use them once a week at most.

perfect exfoliant

My 3rd or 4th box — I have sensitive skin that also tends to have a LOT of dead cells build up with any other skin care routine (& I have tried many). I built up to using these every other day on average, and they work beautifully. Skin looks healthier and fewer clogged pores. Just wish it were cheaper!

Amazing peel pads

These are my favourite peel pads that are on the market. They are so easy to use and they have changed my skin for the best. I love them. I’d highly recommend them to anyone who wants to improve their skin texture and pigmentations. They are great. Love them.

Great results using prior to Dr Gross self-tanner

Recommended by my esthetician for daily use. Friends say I look younger than 62! I use these pads year round and follow-up with the Dr. Dennis Gross Glow Pads during summer. I look like I have a healthy tan without getting skin cancer!
