Six months ago, my hyper-sensitive (and acne-prone) skin was totally done with me. To be fair, this was during my “experimental” period when I was trying tons of different products and treatments to heal my persistent breakouts. Needless to say, this trial-and-error period did more harm than good. Sure, my breakouts improved, but I damaged my already-compromised barrier, leading to irritation, dryness, redness, and flaking. On the bright side, I did learn a lot about how my skin functions. The main takeaway was that most exfoliating formulas aren’t made for my redness- and inflammation-prone skin. Plus, I found that many of the stronger exfoliants made my breakouts even worse.
I had always wanted to try resurfacing formulas like Dr. Dennis Gross’s legendary Alpha-Beta Peel Pads, but was terrified they would irritate my skin since every other exfoliator did. Then, I discovered one of Gross’ more recent iterations of these cult-favorite pads, the Alpha Beta Ultra Gentle Daily Peel Pads, designed specifically for super sensitive skin like mine.
