The perfect alternative or complement to cosmetic treatments
By lowering the pH level, the Fruit Acid Peel removes dead skin cells from the stratum corneum, resulting in a rosier and fresher complexion. At the same time, it stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, so that with regular use, pores can be refined, age spots lightened, and fine lines visibly reduced.
In addition to glycolic acid, the AHA peel also contains salicylic acid. These acids renew the outermost layer of the skin and dissolve excess sebum in the pores. Unlike a mechanical facial scrub, which can irritate the skin through friction, the formulation itself does the work in a fruit acid peel.
Our fruit acid peel is rounded out with panthenol and hyaluronic acid, which provide intense hydration and soothe the skin. Green tea further supports skin regeneration.
A must-have for anyone who wants an even, smooth, and radiant complexion.
Your skin tells your story—let it be a story of love.

Breakouts—often a vicious cycle. However, you can break this cycle by renewing the outermost layer of skinwith a fruit acid peel. This removes dead skin cells, allowing sebum to drain more easily and reducing inflammation and rough, calloused skin. This transformation shows just how much smoother and clearer the skin looks after consistent use of our peel—in combination with the Purifying Power Serum and retinol.

Thorough cleansing is a must—and if you want to go the extra mile, you can incorporate our fruit acid peel 1–3 times a week between your foam cleanser and toner for a deep cleanse. Important: Use only in the evening and apply our day cream during the day. Particularly popular with teenagers and young adults, but also with women over 35 who have more resilient or oily skin—for example, after coming off the birth control pill or following pregnancy. And by the way: Mature skin also benefits significantly from regular AHA peels, as they can stimulate collagen production and enhance the absorption of subsequent anti-aging products.

Here's what the founder says
A good fruit acid peel is much more than just a “peel.” It’s a precise combination of active ingredients that work together to refine the skin’s surface, unclog pores, and support cell renewal. In this peel, we rely on a combination of glycolic and lactic acid—two highly effective AHAs that remove dead skin cells and refine the skin’s texture. These are complemented by salicylic acid (BHA), which penetrates deeper into the pores and can specifically target impurities there. Ideal for anyone whose skin appears dull, blemished, uneven, or sallow.
Note on the Ratings
To be honest, I’ve always been cautious about fruit acid peels because I’ve had bad experiences with them in the past. Especially at beauty salons, they often felt way too harsh to me.
But this one is completely different. You can tell it was really designed for at-home use—super easy to apply, gentle on the skin, and still effective. Just like everything from Doc Berger Effect. For the first time, my skin feels truly clean, and my pores look smaller. I’ve gotten into the habit of using it every Wednesday and Sunday evening—and I look forward to it every single time!🤩
A gentle, highly effective exfoliator. Well-tolerated when used as directed. A little goes a long way, just like all DOC.BERGER | EFFECT products.
I’ve been using it for a month now. I’ve incorporated it into my evening routine twice a day. I let it absorb after cleansing and then apply my night cream. Even though I have sensitive, oily combination skin, I tolerate ALL of your products so well! I’ve tried all kinds of other products before—like those from The Ordinary or Annemarie Börlind—but I just couldn’t get used to them at all.— Now, I actually ONLY use Doc Berger Effect on my skin. 👌 I also started using the Day Cream a few days ago. I’m curious to see if it’s just as great as all your other products.

Fruit acid, also known as AHA (alpha-hydroxy acids), is an effective ingredient that accelerates skin renewal. Our highly concentrated formula in the Anti-Aging 15% Fruit Acid Peel efficiently removes dead skin cells and promotes cell regeneration. This is particularly important for effectively delivering active ingredients into the skin, as the outermost layer of skin must be free of impurities and dead skin cells. The fruit acid in our peel optimally prepares your skin to absorb other valuable active ingredients and leaves it looking fresher and younger.
This exfoliation treatment is ideal for people who want to minimize the signs of aging—such as wrinkles, enlarged pores, and age spots—and who have normal, mature, oily, or blemish-prone skin. For those with sensitive skin, we recommend using the fruit acid for a shorter duration and less frequently.
For best results, we recommend using the exfoliator one to three times a week in the evening after cleansing with the foam. After leaving it on for 5–15 minutes (depending on your skin type), rinse your face thoroughly and continue with your evening routine using toner, serums, and night cream.
A slight tingling or burning sensation during application is normal. After application, it’s important to moisturize the skin thoroughly. We recommend gently wiping the face once more with a cotton pad soaked in toner, massaging in moisturizing serums such as the Hyaluron Lifting Serum or the Booster Serum, and then applying the Collagen Night Cream.
After a fruit acid peel, your skin is more sensitive to UV rays. That's why it's important to use our Anti-Pollution Day Cream with a high SPF and to avoid direct sunlight.
Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. Our Anti-Aging 15% Fruit Acid Peel is formulated to improve the skin over the long term, but it’s important to have realistic expectations. For visible results on wrinkles, blemishes, and age spots, we recommend using the product regularly for at least 2–3 months. The skin needs time to absorb the high-quality active ingredients and regenerate itself, so patience is the key to a firmer, fresher complexion.
Important Information for Your Trips:
Our active ingredient serums have been carefully formulated for your daily skincare routine. However, we would like to point out that when traveling—especially on flights—there is a risk that the serums may leak due to changes in pressure or movement. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any liability for such incidents. To minimize the risk of leakage, we recommend the following steps:
1.)Leak Test:Before you travel, make sure that all the lids and caps on your products are securely and tightly closed. It’s important to remove the pipette and use a cloth (such as a tissue) to degrease and dry the collar as thoroughly as possible. This is exactly where a leak can occur. Do not screw the pipette back on tightly until after this step.
2.)Upright storage:Store the products in an upright position whenever possible.
3.)Opt for carry-on luggage:When flying, you should pack the products in your carry-on luggage so you can better control the storage conditions.
If you have any concerns, we recommend leaving the serums at home if necessary to completely prevent them from leaking.
