The "Texture-Perfecting" overnight treatment—a powerful 8% Glycolic and Lactic Acid blend enriched with upcycled Chestnut Shells to sweep away dead skin cells and reveal a bright, baby-smooth complexion.
Product Description
The Isntree Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence is a high-performance chemical exfoliant designed to transform dull, rough, and uneven skin. It features a potent 8% Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) complex—combining 4% Glycolic Acid (small molecules for deep resurfacing) and 4% Lactic Acid (larger molecules for gentle surface brightening and hydration).
This essence is unique for its use of 10,000ppm Upcycled Chestnut Shell Extract. These shells are naturally packed with tannins, which help to tighten pores and refine skin texture while the acids dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together. To prevent irritation, the formula is infused with Sodium Hyaluronate, Centella Asiatica, and Allantoin to soothe and hydrate the skin during the exfoliation process. It effectively targets flakiness, whiteheads, and sun damage, leaving the skin with a radiant, "glass-like" finish.
Key Features
8% Dual AHA Complex: A balanced ratio of Glycolic and Lactic acids for multi-depth exfoliation and improved skin luminosity.
Chestnut Shell Tannins: Natural astringents that help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and firm the skin.
Whitehead & Flakiness Rescue: Specifically effective at removing dry patches and surface clogs that make makeup look cakey.
Hydrating Exfoliation: Unlike drying peels, this essence keeps skin supple with Hyaluronic Acid and Panthenol.
Clean & Sustainable: Formulated with upcycled ingredients; 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free.
How to Use
Nighttime Routine: Use after cleansing and toning. It is highly recommended for evening use only.
Application: Dispense 1–2 pumps onto a cotton pad or your palms and spread evenly across the face, avoiding the delicate eye and lip areas.
Frequency: For AHA beginners, use once or twice a week. As your skin builds tolerance, you may increase use to 3–4 times a week.
Sun Protection: AHAs increase sun sensitivity. You must apply SPF 30+ every morning while using this product.
Caution: A slight tingling sensation is normal. Avoid using on broken skin or in the same routine as Retinol, high-dose Vitamin C, or BHA.
