At the heart of enzymatic exfoliation is the unique ability of natural enzymes to break down proteins that bind dead skin cells to the surface of your skin. Unlike physical scrubs that use abrasive particles or chemical exfoliants that dissolve skin cells with acids, enzymatic exfoliants offer a gentler yet highly effective alternative.

Enzymes are biological molecules that speed up chemical reactions in the body. In skincare, specific enzymes derived from fruits are used to target and break down keratin proteins found in the outermost layer of dead skin cells.

Papain (from Papaya Extract): Papain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya. It works by breaking down the keratin in dead skin cells, making it easier for these cells to be gently removed without damaging the healthy skin beneath. This process not only exfoliates the skin but also promotes cell turnover, revealing a fresher, more radiant complexion.

Bromelain (from Pineapple Extract): Bromelain is another proteolytic enzyme, extracted from pineapple, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to exfoliate the skin by breaking down proteins and debris that can clog pores, while also soothing irritation and redness.

While enzymes work on the surface, our new formula also includes Glycolic Acid and Malic Acid, two alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that penetrate deeper into the skin. These acids work by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily sloughed away. The combination of enzymatic and chemical exfoliation offers a comprehensive approach:

Glycolic Acid: This AHA penetrates the upper layers of the skin to promote exfoliation from within. It’s particularly effective at improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and fading dark spots.

Malic Acid: Another AHA, malic acid is gentler and works to brighten the skin and improve its overall tone. It also enhances the efficacy of other exfoliants in the formula.

Vaccinium Myrtillus Extract: This antioxidant-rich extract from bilberries helps protect the skin from free radicals and environmental damage. It also supports the skin’s natural barrier, ensuring it remains hydrated and healthy.

Sugar Cane & Maple Sugar Extracts: Both are natural sources of glycolic acid, offering additional gentle exfoliation while providing moisture to the skin.

Lemon & Orange Extracts: Rich in vitamin C, these extracts help to brighten the skin and even out skin tone, while also providing antioxidant protection.

Dual-Action Exfoliation: The synergy of natural enzymes and AHAs provides a powerful yet gentle exfoliation, targeting both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. This dual-action approach ensures that dead skin cells are effectively removed, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion.

Enhanced Cellular Turnover: The newly reformulated Enzymatic Exfoliate accelerates the shedding of dead skin cells by breaking down the proteins that hold them together, leading to smoother and more radiant skin.

Refined Skin Texture: The combination of enzymes from papaya and pineapple, along with glycolic and malic acids, effectively reduces surface roughness, leaving the skin noticeably softer and more even.

Improved Skin Tone: Regular use helps diminish dark spots and uneven pigmentation by gently exfoliating pigmented skin cells, resulting in a more uniform complexion.

Optimized Hydration: The inclusion of natural fruit extracts and AHAs helps the skin retain moisture, reducing dryness and maintaining a plump, hydrated appearance.

Targeted Surface Exfoliation: Formulated for precise action, this product focuses on exfoliating the outermost layer of skin, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing the risk of irritation.

Apply a thin layer of Exfoliate Enzymatic to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area, in circular movements working upward. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes, allowing the enzymes and acids to work. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Use 1-2 times a week, or as needed, to maintain a radiant, healthy-looking complexion.
