The Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel transformed the skincare landscape as the first two-step chemical peel designed for daily use. At a time when chemical peels were limited to dermatology offices and associated with downtime and irritation, it redefined what at-home exfoliation could achieve. By combining precise AHAs and BHAs, it delivers improved texture, tone, fine lines, pores, and radiance while minimizing the sensitivity traditionally associated with chemical exfoliation. Its breakthrough approach helped pioneer the category of gentle, and remains one of the brand's most iconic innovations, for its clinical credibility, transformative results, and ability to set the benchmark for professionally inspired at-home skincare.

Some icons never fade. Since its launch in 1982, essie Ballet Slippers has defined the idea of the perfect sheer pink — soft, understated, and endlessly elegant.

A true original, Ballet Slippers is essie’s #1 bestselling shade, with one bottle sold every two minutes. Its cultural legacy is unmatched: famously the only nail color worn by Queen Elizabeth and the shade Meghan Markle chose for her wedding day. Decades later, it continues to captivate a new generation, earning millions of views across TikTok and Instagram.
Proof that simplicity never goes out of style.
