Dr. Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine Dew It All Eye Gel Review

Hyaluronic Marine Dew It All Eye Gel is a yellow gel-cream for the eye area. 
The fragrance-free formula combines sodium hyaluronate, marine extracts, licorice, caffeine, and other skin conditioners.  The gel glides easily on the skin and absorbs to a weightless, natural finish.  The gel adds a touch of hydration and helps minimize puffiness, but it is not emollient enough for dry skin.

Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retinol Wrinkle Recovery Peel Review

Ferulic + Retinol Wrinkle Recovery Peel is a leave-on night treatment with retinol, ferulic acid, antioxidants, anti-irritants, and plant extracts. 
The treatment consists of 16 individually wrapped peel pads and can be used 2-3 times per week.  The peel liquid absorbs easily into the skin and provides lightweight hydration with a slightly tacky finish.  After just one application the skin looks clearer, smoother, tighter, and more radiant.  This product should be gentle enough for most skin types, but those with dry skin may need to follow the peel with a moisturizer.

The formula is enriched with retinol, ferulic acid, licorice, caffeine, and other skin-benefiting ingredients.  The serum absorbs readily into the skin, adding lightweight hydration.  The formula softens and smoothes the eye area, but it can cause redness and irritation when used daily.

Nourishing Scalp Conditioner is a lightweight yet emollient hair and scalp conditioner with a minty scent.  The formula features azaleic acid, panthenol, amino acids, elastin, peppermint oil, and other ingredients to stimulate the scalp and nourish the hair.  The peachy-beige conditioner has enough slip to detangle and smooth the hair, leaving it shiny and soft. 
The formula helps to hydrate and refresh the scalp without buildup.

The serum refreshes the skin and reduces excess oil, but it may be too drying for some skin types.

The fragrance-free formula is enriched antioxidants, vitamins, natural extracts, peptides, caffeine, and other skin conditioners.  The moisturizer goes on easily and absorbs rapidly to a weightless matte finish.  The formula works well under makeup, but it may not be hydrating enough for dry skin types.  

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Daily Glow Moisture Review

of self-tanner.  The formula is enriched with antioxidants, natural extracts, and other skin conditioners.  The lotion goes on easily and quickly absorbs to a sheer, natural finish.  The formula leaves the skin lightly hydrated and with a hint of tan.  This product has an odd metallic scent.  

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel Review

Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel is a two-step peel system featuring two jars of pre-moistened treatment pads (also available in individual packettes).  The Step 1 pad is saturated with a weightless peel solution that contains AHA/BHA acids, alcohol, witch hazel, and anti-irritants.  The Step 2 pad neutralizes the peel action in Step 1 with a water-based solution of baking soda, antioxidants, anti-irritants, and retinol.  The peel should sit on the skin for two minutes before applying the neutralizing solution to the skin (no rising is required).  The two-step system visibly smoothes and softens the skin with just one application, but the high alcohol content can cause dryness and irritation with regular use.
