Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that are naturally present in all living organisms, whether plant, animal or human. They play a crucial role in the cellular activity of the skin by boosting its natural functions. Enzymes have the ability to rid the skin of its dead cells by gently “unsticking” them, while eliminating excess accumulated sebum. This process of enzymatic exfoliation stimulates the production of keratinocytes, which constitute 90% of the superficial layer of the epidermis, thus promoting cell renewal.
Thanks to this gentle exfoliation, the skin can breathe better and is perfectly prepared to receive treatments, the effectiveness of which will be optimized. Enzymatic exfoliation allows the skin to regain a radiant complexion and benefit from an anti-aging effect, thanks to cell renewal. It also offers a purifying and regulating action, ideal for combination to oily skin.
Unlike grain scrubs, which are often too abrasive and likely to cause irritation, and chemical peels based on fruit acids (AHA/BHA), which can be more aggressive by dissolving the entire surface layer of the skin, enzymes provide gentle exfoliation. They are therefore an ingredient of choice for people wishing to benefit from the benefits of exfoliation without attacking their sensitive skin. Using enzyme-based treatments allows you to obtain radiant, purified and rejuvenated skin, while respecting its natural balance.
