Dr Dennis Gross AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel 2 fl oz — pH-balanced gel-to-foam cleanser for clearer pores and smoother texture

Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta AHA/BHA Daily Cleansing Gel is a pH-balanced, gel-to-foam cleanser that removes dirt, oil, and makeup while gently resurfacing skin with AHA and BHA.

This daily foaming gel is designed to cleanse without leaving skin tight or dry. It combines chemical exfoliants with botanical extracts for a refreshed, softer-feeling complexion. The formula is soap- and sulfate-free, vegan, and crafted to be suitable for all skin types who want clearer pores, smoother texture, and a more even tone.

How does this cleanser clear pores and reduce texture?

The formula uses alpha-hydroxy and beta-hydroxy acids to loosen dead skin cells and penetrate inside pores. Those exfoliants help sweep away surface buildup while farnesol supports a cleaner skin environment. Regular use helps pores appear less congested and skin surface feel smoother.

• AHA/BHA blend helps exfoliate surface and pore lining
• Farnesol contributes to cleansing action against bacteria
• Gel-to-foam removes trapped oil and makeup, even near the eyes

Will it dry out sensitive or dry skin?

Though it foams into a rich lather, the cleanser is formulated to avoid stripping natural moisture. The pH-balanced base and absence of sulfates and harsh soaps help preserve skin’s hydration barrier. Users with sensitive skin can use it twice daily but should follow with their preferred moisturizer or serum.

• Soap- and sulfate-free to minimize dehydration
• pH-balanced to respect the skin barrier
• Use AM/PM and pair with hydrating products if needed

What does it smell and feel like during use?

The cleanser has a light, botanical aroma with notes of jasmine and clove that many users find refreshing. It starts as a clear gel and transforms into a soft foam on contact with water, leaving skin feeling supple rather than tight. The texture rinses clean without residue.

• Subtle jasmine and clove fragrance provides a spa-like experience
• Gel-to-foam texture for easy massaging and removal
• Rinses clean to a soft, non-tight finish

How should I incorporate this into my routine safely?

Use the cleanser morning and night as your first step: massage onto wet skin, rinse, and pat dry. If you use stronger actives (retinoids, professional peels), monitor sensitivity and alternate days as needed. Follow with Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Daily Peel or your chosen serums and moisturizer for best results.

• Apply to wet face and massage into lather, then rinse
• Safe for AM and PM; follow with targeted treatments
• Adjust frequency if combined with other exfoliating actives

Who is this for: This cleansing gel suits anyone seeking a daily wash that both cleans and gently resurfaces—people with dull, congested, or uneven-toned skin will notice reduced pore buildup and a softer texture. It’s formulated for all skin types, including those who prefer sulfate-free, vegan skincare, and for users who want a cleanser that pairs easily with dermatologist-grade actives.
