This innovative system includes purifying agents to smooth signs of aging and improve skin clarity.
View larger. | Microexfoliation: A New Method of Skin Treatment
The Alpha Beta® system is built on MD Skincare®'s trademarked microexfoliation process. Microexfoliation is a gentle, non-irritating method of removing cellular debris from the surface of the skin. By stripping away this outer layer of dead cells, Alpha Beta® reveals a new layer of skin. The end result is a smoother, firmer, and blemish-free complexion. Daily Two-Step System for Easy Maintenance
Much like practicing daily exercise is more beneficial than seeing a personal trainer once a month, treating your skin on a daily basis is more beneficial than relying on an occasional visit to your dermatologist. Significant, lasting improvement in skin quality can only be achieved through daily treatment. For this reason, the MD Skincare® Alpha Beta® regimen calls for daily use. Best results are delivered when the system is used consistently. The system comes with soaked cotton pads, which offer an effective delivery method for the formula and make application easy. To use the system, simply follow two basic steps: first apply a step one alpha-beta pad, let it dry, and then follow up with a step two neutralizing formula pad. The total process takes up only two minutes of your time--a small price for renewed skin quality. Younger, Clearer, and Healthier Skin
Thanks to its retinol agent, the Alpha Beta® system can provide users with anti-aging effects, ensuring that your skin remains beautiful as you get older. Designed to fit all skin types and ages, this system not only diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, but also balances oil, fights acne breakouts, and promotes a glowing complexion. The formula works to treat and reduce large pores, and helps calm redness and flushness in skin. Potent but Gentle Formula Renews and Cleanses Skin
The Alpha Beta® system uses a carefully engineered mixture of natural ingredients to deliver the best possible results. Treatment is broken into two steps: alpha-beta refining and enriched neutralizing.
What's in the Box
The MD Skincare® Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel with one jar of Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel Step 1 Pads (30 applications) and one jar Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel Step 2 Pads (30 applications).

 ruined my skin February 18, 2010
A. Yoo (Los Angeles, CA)
I have acne prone skin. At the time I started using this product my acne had pretty much subsided and I rarely got any breakouts. I got this product to help me get a smoother complexion. It mentioned that I may produce small bumps which should go away in a couple days. But my small bumps never went away. After a month, I contacted MD Skincare and was told by one of their representative to just continue using it. That my skin must be purging all the impurities. And so I continued. At the end of the 2nd month the small bumps never went away. Instead, I starting forming big, pustule pimples. I broke out nonstop for about 8 months. Not the small breakouts, but the huge painful ones - which I've never gotten before. My face, after 2 years, is still left with acne scars that won't go away. I would say it totally ruined my skin. I understand everyone's skin reacts differently. It just had a really bad reaction on mine. Now looking at my skin depresses me.

For the amount of time invested and money spent, this product did not live up to expectations. I will not re-order. I noticed very little change in my skin even tho I used it faithfully and according to directions.
Best Product I have EVER purchased April 30, 2009

It takes alot for me to feel the urge to write a review on anything. I have very sensitive skin (so many things irritate it) and I also have dry skin. Recently I was having skin problems with my forehead (tiny little bumps under the skin). Nothing helped - even a prescription from the derm. When I used this peel literally within an hour I noticed a difference in my skin (not kidding). The little bumps seemed to lessen and my dry skin became smooth. I was afraid to use this product every day (bc of my sensitive skin) but so far I have had no problems at all. My skin looks so much better. No longer dry, tiny bumps pretty much gone, and tone looks better.
I use it at night though instead of the morning. Kind of makes the skin a tad sticky.
Pretty Good Product April 1, 2009

I purchased this product about two weeks ago at a dept store. I didn't want to pay $150 for a chemical peel, so I was pleased to find this product.
The product didn't seem very strong during the first 20 applications. So, I began shaking the container while closed to mix around the contents, before using the product. After that, the applications seemed stronger. Not sure if there's a scientific reason why that was the case, but I'd recommend it, if you want to get the most out of this product. It also didn't seem like the applications were doing much, so I doubled up. Two applications at night. Not sure if that's recommended. I must have tough skin, so there were no bad side effects. Sometimes a slight burning upon application, but nothing that caused me concern.
As far as the results, I think my pores look smaller and the fine lines around my eyes (crow's feet) look a little less noticeable. As well, my skin tone looks a bit brighter. There's been a little bit of a break out, but very minimal.
I'm 48 and have freckles and some dark spots on my face. I was hoping this would remove it or improve it, but there has only been a slight improvement.
I will likely use this product again in the future and would recommend it to friends.

These work. Very well. But I worry that I won't be able to commit to spending 5 minutes on this every day. It's a couple minutes to apply step one, then a couple minutes to wait, then a couple minutes to apply step two, then wait a bit. Then the next step cannot apply alcohol or rinsing. So this needs to happen when you have the time and no plans to apply an alcohol product immediately afterward. So for me it seems like the best time to apply is an hour before bedtime. Then just before bedtime I can apply eye and night cream.
This product is good for someone who has some fine lines and perhaps occasional surface acne. It is not for someone with sensitive skin. Please note that you will need to use skincare that provides more moisture while you employ this regimen because the exfoliation will cause temporary dryness.
