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.

Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin or fist-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.

The BEST peel pads!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pads have been amazing! The exfoliate and smooth side is super effective but still gentle enough to not bother or trigger my skin. I have extremely sensitive and eczema-prone skin and these peel pads help my skin tremendously without striping anything from my skin. gifted by ddgpartner

Disappointed
I purchased this product because of all the good reviews but unfortunately, I got breakout after using this products. I have a fair skin, not oily and without any skin issues until I used this product. I spent $88, a very pricey product and just end up with skin breakouts.

Amazing on my sensitive skin!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a must have for my sensitive skin! This treatment has restored my skin barrier, reduced the appearance of fine lines, and keeps my skin hydrated. This two step routine works so well, and has now become a part of my everyday skincare routine. Gifted by ddgpartner.

Fresh skin!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so good when my skin needs a reset. They make everything look smoother and more glowy after just one use. A little tingly but not too harsh, and my pores look smaller. Feels like a mini facial at home. complimentary from ddgpartner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are literally my go to exfoliating pads! They recommend using it daily but to be honest for my skin I’m good with using it once a week! I make sure to apply my SPF in the morning and fully hydrate my skin at night. Immediate results I see is smooth texture 100% usually when I have dry flaky skin on my chin due to cold climate these pads gets rid of it immediately and I don’t feel as dry which is my favorite part (gifted by ddgpartner)

A favorite
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE these peels. I think they truly make a difference on my skin. I use them 1-2 times a week and generally cut it in half to last longer. But it does a phenomenal job exfoliating. My pores feel so clean after and it makes my skin look so good and makeup apply super well to it the next day. I have some hyperpigmentation and texture on my cheeks and I feel like using it helps minimize the look and feel of it. I usually use before. If you’re new to the DDG peels, universal daily is probably best for starting as opposed to going for extra strength as it can be on the stronger side. Gifted by DDG.

Love these
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way these peel pads make my skin feel and look! They do such a good job at making my skin feel brand new and helping with any congestion that I have. I only use them once daily and they can be strong but I’m glad my skin is not sensitive. gifted by ddgpartner
