Alpha-Beta Hydroxy/Chemical Peels

[Guest guest]

Hey all,

Anyone ever hear of MD SKINCARE??? With all the talk of chemical peels, I

thought I'd put something forth and get an opinion.

It's the Alpha-Beta Skin Perfecting System by Dr. Dennis Gross. His office is in

NYC, and he claims the ingredients are gentle enough for cea Skin...the

brochure reads: Includes the most gentless, most effective ingredients availabe,

Eliminates common irritants found in many commerical skin care products. " I

called the office and they said it was highly recommended for 'reducing the

appearance of rosacea'...it boosts skin's exfoliation, controls oil, and

minimizes pore size...also stimulates collagen production, promoting a turnover

of new skin cells, healthy skin cells, and I guess that's how the R skin is

supposed to minimize...the active ingredient is Salicylic Acid.

A friend of mine who had a very mild form of R, mainly blotchy red skin no real

flushing, recommended it; it turned her skin around.

I don't understand: why would a reputable doctor in Manhattan develop and

prescribe a product like this for rosacea skin if we are given to understand

that such can only aggravate and stimulate a rosacea like response in the

skin???

I have it and have tried it a few times. 3 times about a week apart. I do

notice a pinkness all over my face for about 45 minutes afterward, at these

times I panic as I fear I might be 'dancing with the devil'. I don't know if

I'll continue, but I must say that I do notice a smoothness in my skin the day

afterward...

The website is www.mdskincare.com if anyone is interested.

I am not advocating this product in any way, just wanted to put it out there.

Sincerely,

Marie
