Since October 16, the Dr Dennis Gross brand is finally available at Sephora! Viral on TikToknotably because of the iconic home peels it offers, the brand offers a complete range of skin care products, all designed by Dennis Gross, this American dermatologist who launched his eponymous brand in 2000 in order to put his expertise to use of the greatest number.
Visiting Paris for the launch of the brand in France, Dr. Dennis Gross himself gave us all his tips and tricks for having radiant skin all year round. “It is possible to combine the powers of science with the benefits of nature and create super-effective products!” he assures. Because although many brands today rely on the complete naturalness of products, some remain ineffective and unsuitable for the needs of the skin. The addition of advanced technology and chemical substances are sometimes essential to obtain results, while preserving the softness and health of the skin.
Micropeelings enriched with acids for daily use: why is the formula so effective?
These famous peels are composed of a mixture of acids known to be beneficial for the skin, namely glycolic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid and mandelic acid. Dr. Dennis Gross then explains to us that he discovered, through his research, that mixing these many acids at low concentrations is much more beneficial and effective and less irritating than using just one at high concentration.
He then draws our attention to the fact that we are all making a big mistake by using his brand’s peels. It’s about duration! No need to leave the peel on for a long time for it to work. Two minutes are enough and respecting this time is essential for the effectiveness of the product. “The product is called ‘peeling’ but in reality it is a ‘micropeeling’. It is very gentle, and it is impossible to observe redness or irritation because the formula is precisely designed to act without side effects” he explains to us. “You have to use it every day to obtain good results, this is proof that the formulation is gentle and that you will never have the effect of a ‘strong’ peel carried out in an institute for example. “.
The second step (the “neutralizer”) is also crucial because in addition to removing acids, it injects all the vitamins, hydration and anti-aging benefits that the skin needs, all for a radiant complexion from the first use.
@dailydoseofshaz_ These peel pads from @Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare are hyped up for a reason sis. Totally transformed my skin! I mean the results don’t lie! I can’t wait for my 90-day results. I use the Universal Daily peel pads and didn’t have any reaction aside from purging on day 7 which is expected from the reviews. Also the first few days of use, it did sting a little but nothing uncomfortable. 100000/10 recommend! Don’t forget to take pictures of your progress coz I didn’t think they were working until I looked at the before pictures!

Which peel for which skin?
If the famous orange box is the most famous because it is the original formula, know that there are variations designed for each skin type. In all cases, it is a gentle exfoliation which consists above all of removing dead cells. “If you have sensitive or dry skin, opt for the blue box which is even gentler. If you have acne or oily skin, you can try the red formula, which is a little more concentrated” explains Dr Dennis Gross.
Finally, he gives us his best advice for radiant skin. “Do not use irritating products that are unsuitable for your skin. Never take the risk of destroying your skin barrier. Also remember to moisturize your skin from the inside as well as the outside because your skin, when it is healthy and with a balanced pH, will be able to make the products you apply work to it.”.
