Review: MD Skincare's Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel
Topic: Wrinkle Fighters!

I picked these up because they are supposed to do everything: reduce lines, fill wrinkles, illuminate skin, minimize pores and stop breakouts.  My thought was that, if true, it would replace a good number of my current skincare items. 

Having said that, you really can't (and shouldn't) use this with anything else.  If has so much "umph" that any additional skincare products would wreck your face.  Even just using this alone, I sometimes felt that maybe I was doing too much to my skin at once.  Even the packaging reminds you not to use this product with ANYTHING containing alcohol and you'll want to check your cleansers, makeup removers and moisturizers to make sure that they are alcohol free.

Each box comes with 60 pads: 30 Alpha Beta Refining Towels and 30 Neutralizing Towels.   Basically, you wipe an Alpha Beta Towel around your face for about three minutes, wait 2 minutes, then apply the Neutralizing Towel for another 3 minutes.

Changes in your skin happen very quickly - in a little over two weeks, you'll notice that your pores do look smaller, your wrinkles look less deep and no breakouts (though to be fair, I haven't had a breakout in awhile).   30 applications will cost you $80 at Sephora and while that may seem pricey, keep in mind that it replaces a lot of other products. 

Will I rebuy this?  Yes and no. No because I have a closet full of half used skincare products that need to be finished. However, once I've gone though everything, I will get another set of these pads to replace my toner, line fillers,  AHA/BHA creams, pore refiners etc.

A word of warning: this will sting like nothing else.  If you have sensitive skin, its not worth it - I think you'll end up red faced and angry. Eventually, even with my Product Battled Skin, I had to use it every other day just to give my skin a breather.
