Skincare Success Story: From Troubling Acne to Transformative Skincare Routine

Acne is a personal journey. After numerous failed attempts to treat her mild-to-moderate acne, Angela Finn was feeling hopeless. After discovering the Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel, Angela was blown away by how quickly her acne spots and hyperpigmented marks disappeared in just three days. Fast forward eight weeks, Angela attributes her new-found confidence and smooth, clear complexion to her consistent, daily Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare routine. Read on to see how Angela transformed her skin with a simple, yet effective daily skincare regimen. 

Before using Dr Dennis Gross Skincare, what was your skincare regimen? What is your skin type?

What are your main skin concerns?

Before using Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, my skincare regimen included a gentle cleanser, a vitamin C serum, a hyaluronic acid serum, a moisturizer, and just about every harsh pimple cream on the market. My skin type is sensitive! 

How did you feel about your skin prior to using Dr. Dennis Gross products?

Before using Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, I had truly never felt worse about my skin. Every day I would wake up feeling defeated by the way my skin looked and what I saw in the mirror. My acne began to be something I would obsess over, noticing every small change. My confidence was at an all-time low and I felt that nothing could ever change the way my skin looked. 

How did you find out about Dr. Dennis Gross products? And what convinced you to begin a skincare journey with us?

I originally found out about Dr. Gross from my constant search on social media for an answer to what felt like my incurable acne! I was convinced to begin a skincare journey with Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare after trying an application of the Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel. In just three days, I was able to see a change in my skin that I thought would never be possible. 

What was the length of time between your before and after shots?

How do you feel about your skin after using DDG products?

I could not be happier with my skin after using Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. I am no longer insecure about my skin and I can 100% say I have my confidence back. I don’t need to leave the house wearing layers of makeup and I feel like myself again. I truly could not be more grateful for the products Dr. Gross creates. 

How long did it take for you to see a significant change in your skin using our products?

I would say three weeks into using Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, I was able to see the most significant change in my skin. Though I still do get the odd blemish here and there, three weeks into my journey was when all of my acne spots disappeared and any marks left behind were on their way out! 

In your opinion, what is a top skincare tip everyone should follow?

In my opinion, I would say to be consistent and most importantly, be kind to yourself! Though it can be difficult, change is possible with the right routine, products, and the right amount of time. 

What are your Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare product essentials? What is on your wishlist? 

My skincare essentials from Dr. Gross would have to be the Alpha Beta AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel and the All-Physical Ultimate Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 50. My skin always feels so clean after using the AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel, and I am happy to know my skin is protected when I put on my SPF! The next product on my wish list would have to be the Alpha Beta Glow Pad Self-Tanner! Protecting your skin from the sun is so important, especially at a young age, but I also love to have a glow! 

If you could only pick one DDG product, what is your favorite product & why?

If I could only pick one product from Dr. Gross, it would without a doubt be the Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peels. I feel that this product has made the most significant change in my skin, and it was the first product that began my Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare journey. I do not leave home without this product. I love how travel-friendly it is!
