| Verdict | MartiDerm's iconic nighttime exfoliating ampoules — formerly sold as 'Alfa Peeling' and rebranded to Platinum Night Renew with the same proven formula. The AHA cocktail runs five acids (10% total: glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric) — a poly-hydroxy approach that exfoliates at multiple depths. Glycolic (smallest molecule) drives the deepest penetration; lactic provides gentler surface exfoliation with built-in humectancy; the fruit acids (malic, tartaric, citric) fill the mid-range. Soluble collagen and sodium hyaluronate provide immediate plumping, while sodium DNA supports cellular repair. The single-dose ampoule format is MartiDerm's signature — no preservative degradation, precise dosing, and the ritual of snapping open a fresh vial each night. At ~$50 for 30 ampoules (a month's supply), the per-use cost is about $1.67 — excellent value for a clinical-grade nighttime peel. A pharmacy-counter classic in Spain since the late 1990s. | Mesoestetic's professional-grade brightening peel — and the at-home extension of the brand's clinical depigmentation protocols. The dual-acid approach pairs 10% glycolic acid (deep exfoliation, collagen stimulation) with 2% phytic acid (an antioxidant acid derived from rice that inhibits melanin transfer — making it specifically effective against hyperpigmentation rather than just general exfoliation). Centella Asiatica provides anti-inflammatory support to counterbalance the acid irritation potential. At ~$57 for 50ml, it's positioned between pharmacy peels and dermatologist treatments — stronger than The Ordinary's glycolic toner but gentler than an in-office peel. The clear gel format makes application precise — apply to clean, dry skin at night, avoid the eye area. For hyperpigmentation specifically (melasma, PIH, sun spots), this is one of the most targeted OTC options from any Spanish brand. Pairs naturally with mesoestetic's Cosmelan protocol for a complete depigmentation strategy. |
