Clearer and Smoother Skin
-05.19.13
I have been using the AB Extra Strength Peels since they came out. I have to say that this is the ONLY thing that keeps my skin clear! I used to break out with cystic pimples (hormonal) around my jaw, chin and forehead. They were so painful. About 2 weeks after implementing this into my night time regimen, I could see and feel my skin clearing and smoothing. Even the past scars that I had from squeezing pimples started to fade. Whenever I am out of this product, my face seems to start breaking out again.....not as bad but I can't be w/o this for more than 2 weeks or else!! My scars have virtually disappeared now and I get so many compliments on how my skin looks flawless and younger!! Thanks Dr. Dennis for developing such a wonderful product that truly does what it says!! :-)

Review 4 for Extra Strength Alpha Beta® Face Peel

Highly Effective Formulation
-05.15.13
Quick Take: effective
I used to use the non-extra strength formulation on a bi-weekly basis but since this extra strength version has been released I had been using it once a week for fear it would be too strong for my skin. At just once a week though it's more effective than the results of my second favorite peel by REN, yet still gentle enough to not irritate my sensitive skin. This two step peel exfoliates, minimizes pores, diminishes fine lines and gives you an overall glow. It's best used at nighttime to give your skin ample time to renew. Pair with a moisturizing serum/cream for best results in the morning.
P.S. It does a pretty fantastic job on your neck and decolletage and especially if you have issues with keratosis pilaris (chicken skin).

-05.09.13
Quick Take: a great addition to any skincare regimen
In an effort to conserve funds, I repeatedly reorder this size and use weekly. Also use on hands. This consistently works well and outperforms other proucts. I do also use the Exfolikate weekly, and reorder that product as well.

Visible Improvement in less than two weeks!
-05.09.13
I've been using this face peel system every 2-3 days for about two weeks. Not only does it smell good, but it's non-irritating and provides visible results....almost immediately. I highly recommend it!

Keeping coming back for more

I have purchased these several times. They work really well to keep your skin exfoliated between facials. Makeup looks so much better applied to exfoliated skin.

Review 10 for Extra Strength Alpha Beta® Face Peel
cwhann
Location:Kansas
Worth the cost!
-05.01.13
Quick Take: amazing!
These are hands down the best peel and/or product out there for many skin types. I've tried everything from luxury lines to drug store and nothing resurfaces, and clears the skin without irritation like this product!
In fact, if used as much as the skin tolerates- you can get away with a drug store or value wash and moisturerizer.
I love how it doesn't dry out my skin or cause excessive redness. I've done profession microdermabrasion which didn't give me results as nicely as this

Review 14 for Extra Strength Alpha Beta® Face Peel
Dani0920

My go-to anti-aging treatment, must try
-04.22.13
I love these pads! I use them once or twice a week on my 30-something skin, and they have done wonders for my fine lines and skin texture. I have normal skin, and it's in very good shape. This is the first year I've started thinking about anti-ageing, but I don't see any difference with most products. I do with this one!
It makes my face smoother, and my pores look nearly invisible. It's not harsh (although I do not have sensitive skin). There is a tingle when you use it, but I take that as a sign that it's working. It makes my skin look tighter, and I've seen a significant reduction in fine lines since using this.
If you're 30+, I definitely recommend these pads. I use them in conjunction with the AmorePacific Enzyme Peel, which I use before to prep my skin; I follow with the Lancome Visionnairse Advanced Skin Corrector serum and a moisturizer. This regime has transformed my skin! It's the only thing that has made a difference.

Amazing so far
-04.21.13
Quick Take: fast acting, gentle
Bought the 5 pack and based on the first few days, I just invested in the econo size. Has reduced breakout severity during my worst time of the month. Super gentle -- i experienced zero dryness / flakiness. Skin looks brighter, more even. Pores smaller. Excited to see my skin continue to improve.

Review 17 for Extra Strength Alpha Beta® Face Peel
Refreshing
-04.20.13
I like to use these pads at night once a week, after my skin begins to feel like it has begun to accumulate a grimy build-up. This treatment feels like it's getting everything gross off, and it's so refreshing it tingles (but doesn't hurt). My skin is always incredibly soft the next morning.

Review 18 for Extra Strength Alpha Beta® Face Peel
not too promising
-04.19.13
I suffer from hyper pigmentation and was hoping that this would help lighten my skin. I used the product only at night. My skin didn't get better, it got worse albeit my morning regimen includes an SPF50. The peel did however made my skin feel soft. A bit disappointed especially when the product cost $85.00

Review 19 for Extra Strength Alpha Beta® Face Peel

Obsessed
-04.18.13
I absolutely love this product! I began using the extra strength pads a little over two years ago and have been hooked ever since. The results are fantastic. I have sensitive skin so I can only use them about twice a week, but after a couple uses my scars are faded and pores become less visible. I have tried the regular strength, but I was not as satisfied with the results - would not buy those again.

Review 20 for Extra Strength Alpha Beta® Face Peel
macgurl209
Acne prone with scarring
-04.17.13
I have acne prone skin and over the last year have started to get some dark red scars. I turned to this product knowing peels may help lighten them. This peel is just what I needed. It faded my scars to be almost invisible (I have used 10 days of the system with a break from it here and there). I love it! It also has been keeping my skin from breaking out. I literally don't have one zit right now! I will be buying the full sized product. What I also love is even tho it is the extra strength formula, it doesn't leave my skin burning and red. My skin generally isn't sensitive either. If u are looking to fade discolorations, this is the product!
