Is your skin looking duller, fine lines becoming more apparent, and pores more noticeable? This is a result of the corneal layer (top layer of the epidermis) thickening in a defense to continual UV exposure during the summer months. These are also signs that indicate an exfoliation intervention is needed to renew and refine your skin. If your skin cannot tolerate mechanical types of exfoliants (those that require rubbing over the skin with or without granules), and you are looking for a product that will have a resurfacing effect on your skin, this enzyme peeling cream may be a solution. It offers different antihyperkerative enzymes, including papain from papaya and bromeline from pineapple. Both enzymes are encapsulated in microspheres to control their effectiveness, both work to break down excess keratinized cells, and both will refine the texture and thickness of the skin. This product also contains a small amount of citric acid, an AHA that works well in the corneal layer of the epidermis without the irritation caused by some AHA’s. The plant extracts offer the anti-inflammatory soothing actions of chamomile, saponaria and arnica, along with the anti-oxidant and regenerating properties of ginkgo biloba and horse chestnut, ensuring not only a nice enzyme exfoliation but one with minimal, if any, irritation.
