03 Jan 2024 --- Shiseido adds American-based brand Dr. Dennis Gross to its skin care portfolio by purchasing DDG Skincare Holdings. Based in New York, the company is marketed as a “dermatologist-led, science-based prestige skin care” business that will be a “strategic addition” to its luxury skin care offerings which include Clé de Peau Beauté. The brand was launched twenty-four years ago by former skin cancer researcher and practicing dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross and his wife. It is known for its Alpha Beta Daily Peel Pads, pre-soaked with alpha and beta hydroxy acids, including glycolic, salicylic and lactic acids. The chemical peel’s two-step process removes dead skin cells and promotes a brighter complexion.
