About Dr. Dennis Gross Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare is a dermatologist-founded brand. Dr. Gross is an unwavering advocate for his patients, consumers, humanity, bound by the Hippocratic oath to do no harm. His mission - and ours - us to improve your skin health, how it looks, but most importantly how it makes you feel. Our #1 priority is to ensure efficacy without ever compromising safety.

How It Works
1. Step 1: Isolated Alpha Beta® Acids
A precise blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids gently loosens the “glue” that holds dead skin cells in place for immediately smoother, brighter skin.
2. Step 2: Anti-Aging Neutralizer
Antioxidants and anti-aging treatment ingredients penetrate deeper into skin to repair damage, protect cells, and restore healthy looking skin, while neutralizing acid activity.
3. Phlux
The neutralizer quickly changes the pH of skin, stimulating collagen production to treat fine lines and wrinkles and firm skin.
