Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel (Size Options)

A cleanser that does more than clean. The Alpha Beta® AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel is a pH-balanced foaming gel that goes beyond surface-level cleansing to treat enlarged pores at the source. The Alpha Beta® Complex supports natural cell turnover to prevent future blockages from forming, while a Pore-Perfecting Complex of Phytic Acid, Farnesol, and Siraitia Monk Extract dissolves the waxy buildup that clogs pores and causes congestion. Skin comes out soft, balanced, and clear - never tight or stripped. 

Works for all skin types and pairs seamlessly with the Alpha Beta® Daily Peel as a first step in your routine. 

Available in a 225ml pump bottle or 60ml travel tube. 

Who's It For

Anyone dealing with clogged pores, excess oil, or skin that feels congested by the end of the day. Works across all skin types - oily, normal, combination, and dry - and is especially effective as a daily prep step before your Alpha Beta® peel. 

Key Benefits

• Refines Pores - AHA/BHA acids gently exfoliate to clear congestion and visibly tighten the appearance of enlarged pores with both immediate and long-term results.
• Balances Excess Oil - The pH-balanced formula flushes away excess oil and impurities without stripping the skin's moisture barrier.
• Prevents Future Blockages - Glycolic Acid supports natural cell turnover to stop pore congestion before it starts.
• Deep Pore Cleansing - Phytic Acid and Farnesol dissolve waxy buildup deep within pore walls, flushing away the impurities that regular cleansers can't reach.
• Soothes While It Cleanses - Bisabolol and Jasmine Extract calm and soothe skin during cleansing, leaving it comfortable and balanced post-rinse.
• Clinically Tested - In a clinical and consumer perception study after one day of use, 100% said it thoroughly cleansed skin, 98% said it did not leave skin feeling oily or shiny, and 93% said skin looked and felt soft and smooth. 

Key Ingredients

• Glycolic Acid - An AHA that supports natural cell turnover, helps prevent pore blockages from forming, and keeps skin smooth and clear over time.
