Named Best Facial Self-Tanner in Allure Magazine's "Best of Beauty" Awards!
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta® Glow Pad for face is the only anti-aging, exfoliating sunless tanner that contains active Vitamin D to provide smoother, healthier skin and natural radiance year-round. Microencapsulated DHA and soy proteins deliver color deep into skin to prevent fading through surface exfoliation. Alpha and beta hydroxy acids exfoliate, tighten pores, eliminate blackheads and help fade existing sunspots for an even, streak-free glow. Vitamin D is known for enhancing the benefits of the additional vitamins and antioxidants found in the formula. Glow Pad transforms dull texture and pasty winter white tone into radiant, glowing skin. It’s healthier than a day at the beach!
Who It's For: Ideal for all skin types; for use on face and body.
How It Works:
- Vitamin D topical supplement gives sun kissed glow without sun and makes other vitamins work better.
- Glycolic Acid reduces visible signs of aging.
- Lactic Acid is a naturally-occurring Alpha Hydroxy Acid that helps speed up cell renewal.
- Willow Bark Extract clears pores and also exfoliates; natural alternative to Salicylic Acid.
- Soy Protein kick-starts collagen production and ensures a more natural hue for rich, long-lasting color.
- Encapsulated DHA provides time-released color.
- Vitamins A, C, E are potent antioxidants that prevent collagen breakdown.
- Vitamin B helps reduce pore size and provides wound healing.
- ospholipids are natural substances that draw moisture from the air and seal it into the skin.
Suggested Use: Use on face and body. Apply evenly to clean, dry skin in circular motions wherever color is desired. To customize color, increase the number of applications to achieve a darker glow. Wash hands immediately after use.

"I love these pads! I am pretty pale blonde and stopped tanning a few years ago so am always in search of a good tanning product that won't make me orange and give me realistic color. I do use these in conjunction with Tan Towels. The first time I used it, it gave me a nice glow, although there were a couple of uneven marks but not anything that was too obvious! Now that I've done it more frequently, I've gotten used to evenly applying it on my face and neck. If you are tanner to begin with, this might not be for you, as it's a subtle glow. But if you're fair, go for it! Depending on how much color you want, will depend on how often you use it. I was only using it 1-2 times a week, but with the sun coming out and warm weather approaching (hopefully), I'm using it a bit more frequently, 2-3 times a week. "

"Pricey tanning towelettes, but works pretty good! When I used it, I woke up with my entire cheeks red... I'm not sure if that's suppose to happen? But I just used make up to cover it and the overall color that surfaced was to my delight (aside from the nonwanted red). A tad pricey, but a little goes a long way and it stays for almost a week."

"These do tan without streaking or splotching, but definitely need a body tanner too, or you can use these I guess. "

"I love, love, love this product. I won this from Bloom during a Facebook contest in which fans were encourage to ask questions to Dr. Dennis Gross. While the price is definitely not within my typical budget for such a product,I will be buying these again when I run out. The exfoliation is wonderful and the color is very natural. I have cut my pads in 2 as using a whole pad seems unnecessary. "

"Love these...perfect for a little extra glow. I was surprised how well the "glow" looked. After putting it on, it took a little time to kick in. It seemed to get darker over the next hour or so. Anti-aging, exfoliating...a little color...love a multi-tasker!"

"These are extremely easy to use and give a beautiful, glowing tan. The pad is just the right size to do your face, neck, and chest, although it took two pads for the right color to show on my chest. The tan lasts for about five days if I don't use any exfoliating products, but only about 2-3 days if I use my normal routine. These pads are definitely the easiest way to get a natural-looking tan on the face."

"These are amazing! I've always been a fan of Dr. Gross's exfoliating system, but this brings it to a whole new level. The towels deposit just the right amount of color to my skin without making it look like an unnatural tan. A little on the pricey side to use as often as I'd like."

Complexion: Fair
"These are quick and easy to use, easy to carry in your purse or take on vacation and there's no strong scent as with other self-tanners. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the amount of color it gave my face- a very natural-looking, streak-free glow. The only negative is that the color doesn't last long enough at all. It seemed to wash off after just one day. "

"When I got this product, I thought it would be ineffective and very streaky. I was proved wrong the first time I used it. I rubbed the glow pad on my face, and didn't see anything different. I was quite disappointed, until I woke up the next morning and saw the most beautiful tan glow! I will definitely be repurchasing this product!"

"I liked the fact that these are individually packaged, so that they won't dry out. I also liked the fact that they are very easy to use... just wipe on then dispose of the wipe. I like using these on my face because I don't want to tan my face in the tanning bed anymore."
