Tired of dullness, rough patches, and stubborn bumps? The Isntree Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence is a gentle yet powerful chemical exfoliant that sweeps away dead skin cells overnight. Wake up to a visibly smoother, brighter, and clearer complexion without the harsh scrubbing.

Why We Love It

• Smooths Rough Texture: A potent 8% blend of Glycolic and Lactic Acid melts away dead skin, revealing baby-soft skin underneath.
• Unclogs & Refines Pores: Chestnut Shell Extract helps tighten the look of pores and control excess oil for a clearer appearance.
• Fades Blemishes & Dark Spots: Gently resurfaces the skin to reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation.
• Boosts Radiance: Eliminates dull, tired-looking skin, restoring your natural, healthy glow.
• Hydrating Formula: Infused with Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and plump, preventing the dryness often associated with exfoliants.

Key Ingredients

Glycolic Acid (4%) & Lactic Acid (4%): This dynamic duo works together to exfoliate the skin’s surface. Glycolic acid penetrates deep to dissolve impurities, while lactic acid gently resurfaces and hydrates.

Chestnut Shell Extract: The secret weapon! Rich in tannins, it helps minimize the appearance of pores and control sebum production.

Centella Asiatica & Hyaluronic Acid: A calming and hydrating pair that soothes potential irritation and locks in moisture, keeping your skin barrier happy.

How to Use

Step 1: After cleansing and toning, apply 2-3 drops onto your palms.

Step 2: Gently pat the essence onto your face, avoiding the delicate eye and lip areas.

Step 3: Follow up with your favorite hydrating serum and a nourishing moisturizer.

Frequency: Use only in your PM routine. Start with 1-2 times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can slowly increase to 3 times per week.

Expert Tips & Tricks

• DO Pair With: Hydrating heroes like Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides, and Snail Mucin. Always finish with a good moisturizer to support your skin barrier.
• DON’T Mix With: Other strong actives in the same routine. Avoid using with Vitamin C, Retinol, or other AHA/BHA products to prevent irritation. Use them on alternate nights.
• Sunscreen is a MUST: AHAs make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher the next morning.

Q&A

Is this good for acne and clogged pores?
Absolutely! The 8% AHA formula is fantastic for dissolving the dead skin cells and sebum that lead to whiteheads, blackheads, and clogged pores. It helps to smooth out texture and prevent future breakouts.

Will this essence sting or irritate my skin?
A slight tingling sensation can be normal for first-time AHA users, but it shouldn’t be painful. The formula includes soothing Centella Asiatica to minimize irritation. If you have very sensitive skin, we highly recommend a patch test first and starting with just once-a-week use.
