A Dr Dennis Gross Daily Peel alternative suits you if you like what acid peels do for brightness but want fewer steps and less waste. Vita-A-Kombi AHA puts fruit acids, vitamin A and active oxygen into one Swiss night cream, so exfoliation and hydration happen together.

How to use it: apply at night to clean skin, every second night for the first week, then nightly. Wear sunscreen by day, as with any AHA. Add the Mild Face Scrub 2–3 times a week for extra smoothness.
