In episode twenty five of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts sits down with Dr Dennis Gross, dermatologist and founder of Dr Dennis Gross Skincare.

Every question you’ve ever had about peels and acids- answered, by the man who pioneered them. 

One of Dr Dennis’ first childhood memories involves him experimenting with topical ingredients and discovering the immediately visible, transformative powers of skincare- so it comes as no surprise that the product he’s most famous for developing, the Alpha Beta Peel, grew its cult following based on its instantly transformative results. 

With a background in skin cancers, it was in his 5th Avenue New York clinic that he developed the original Alpha Beta formula- an in-clinic only, two step peel that revolutionised peels forever. At a time where most believed a true peel needed to inflict trauma on the skin, Dr Dennis Gross worked with multiple acids at lower concentrations, rather than one acid at high percentage. This peel utilised concepts and skin chemistry that had never been used before, and its popularity took Dr Dennis outside his New York clinic to launch Dr Dennis Gross Skincare as we now know it. 

In this conversation, Dr Dennis shares how he’s using technology to make nature more effective, his philosophy that if a product isn’t making you look instantly better, it’s not working, and how an episode of Sex & the City almost single handedly ruined public perception of facial peels.
