Institut Esthederm Intensive AHA Peel Serum 30ml is a concentrated AHA-peel serum from the French dermo-cosmetic brand. Built around glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid, the serum is designed to gently exfoliate, refine the look of pores and renew the skin's surface for a smoother, brighter complexion.

Key benefits
- Concentrated AHA-and-BHA peel serum for gentle, at-home resurfacing.
- Glycolic acid and lactic acid (AHAs) refine surface texture and brighten dull skin.
- Salicylic acid (BHA) helps clear pores.
- Suitable for all skin types — particularly suited to dull, uneven or pore-prone complexions.
- Use 1-3 times per week as part of an evening skincare routine.
Key ingredients
- Glycolic acid: alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates the surface layer.
- Lactic acid: a gentler AHA that hydrates while exfoliating.
- Salicylic acid: beta-hydroxy acid that clears pores.
- Arginine and carnosine: support skin comfort during the active treatment.
- Vitamin E (tocopherol): antioxidant support.
Who it's for
Anyone wanting to introduce an at-home AHA peel into their routine — particularly those concerned with dullness, uneven texture, enlarged pores or post-acne marks. Build up frequency gradually if new to acid-led skincare.
How to use
- Cleanse and tone the skin in the evening.
- Dispense a small amount of serum onto the fingertips.
- Press gently onto the face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- Allow to absorb fully before applying your usual moisturiser.
- Use 1-3 times per week — and always pair with a daily SPF when using AHA-led skincare.
