Because the skin on your body is subject to the same stresses as the skin on your face, it needs a daily dermatological workout to retain or regain its softness and resiliency. Get dermatological results without the prescriptions or surgery. View larger. Like all MD Skincare Alpha Beta products, the Alpha Beta Daily Body Peel is multifunctional, providing dermatological results without prescriptions or surgery, saving you both time and money. The daily body peels also work synergistically with other MD Skincare solutions, and it is made with medical-grade ingredients. After just one application of the Alpha Beta Daily Body Peel, your skin will appear visibly improved, but with continued use daily, the results will get even better. Just two minutes a day will transform your skin's overall appearance, making it look younger and clearer, while addressing any specific skincare problems that you may have. The peel will also firm and tone your skin, minimize areas of discoloration, fade brown spots, and sooth redness. Two Steps for Younger-Looking, Clearer Skin The Alpha Beta Daily Body Peel is designed to be used every day. Easy-to-use, pre-moistened pads are precisely calibrated to provide the perfect combination of acids, antioxidants, and exfoliants. The Step 1 pad contains a gentle blend of alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids in low concentration (it does not include a single harsh acid, such as glycolic acid, as is found in many other products). This formula makes the body peel gentler and more effective than traditional peels. The Step 2 pad has a unique neutralizing effect that boosts the peel's effectiveness, improving fine lines, texture, laxity, discoloration, and even complexion problems. It also delivers a host of beneficial ingredients, such as green tea extract, retinol, and genistein, which leave your skin smooth, balanced, and protected. Each pad also provides gentle exfoliation that will give your skin an even, luminous look. Additionally, the exfoliation will help reduce breakouts on acne prone areas of your body, such as your shoulders, chest, and back. And if you are someone who suffers from keratosis pilaris, or "chicken skin" (those little red bumps that form on the backs of your arms and thighs), the pads' exfoliating properties will help eliminate those stubborn rough patches and prevent them from forming. Dr. Dennis Gross and MD Skincare: A Dermatological Revolution With chemical peels becoming increasingly popular, MD Skincare's founder Dr. Dennis Gross, has observed a phenomenon he describes as "over-exfoliation"--the result of poorly formulated peels that produce chronic inflammation and sabotage skin's health. To give consumers a better choice than harsh, ineffective peels, and to eliminate the all-too-common trend of "over-exfoliation," Dr. Gross has developed the MD Skincare Alpha Beta line of products. Dr. Dennis Gross, the creator of MD Skincare, is a Manhattan dermatologist who has devoted his life to the science of skincare. Originally drawn to dermatology by his passion for conquering skin cancer, Dr. Gross spent much of his early career conducting free skin cancer screenings and educating the public about the life-threatening disease. As he worked to fight skin cancer, Dr. Gross began to recognize the need to reverse sun damage, the number-one cause of aging and wrinkles. He immediately began educating his patients about the importance of sun protection--not only as melanoma prevention, but also as a beauty treatment. Within a few short years, the doctor's success became well known, and he became one of the most respected and sought-after dermatologists in the country.

Glycolic Acid
To use this system you need to first rub one pad all over your body and then repeat the process with a second ""Neutralizing" step.

The first pad has salicylic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, greet tea extract, lactic acid and malic acid with very little water and alcohol and a touch of witch hazel. This helps to exfoliate the skin. The second pad has skin healing ingredients like Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Retinol.

These products can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so useful in dry winter weather or can be used if you use a sunscreen.

I didn't notice any irritation or even tingling while using these pads. I did find that one pad was not enough for a full body application. You will probably find you need two of each to cover every area of your skin. If you are fresh out of a shower, it seems easier to use these as they remain more moist.
