Enzyme Peel: Gentle Exfoliation with Enzymes

What is an enzyme peel?

Dead skin cells are held together on the skin's surface by protein bonds. Enzymes such as papain, a protein-dissolving enzyme from papaya, break down exactly these bonds. The dead cells are released without needing to be rubbed off.

• Enzyme peel: works chemically through enzymes, very gently and without friction.
• Mechanical scrub: works with grains that rub the skin, which can irritate sensitive skin.
• Acid peel: works with fruit acids such as glycolic acid, often more intensively. Our formulas combine enzymes and acids for a balanced effect.

The benefits of an enzyme peel

• Gentle: no friction, therefore suitable for sensitive skin too.
• Refining: the complexion appears smoother, more even and more radiant.
• Clarifying: excess sebum and impurities are released, and the pores appear finer.
• Preparing: serums and creams penetrate the freshly exfoliated skin better.

How to use your enzyme peel

• OPEN: after cleansing, apply the Beta-Enzyme or the Enzyme Specialist to the face, leave on as directed and rinse off thoroughly with warm water. The Enzyme Cleansing Booster replaces your cleanser morning and evening.
• TREAT: then apply a serum, for example from our collection anti-aging serum. The freshly exfoliated skin absorbs the actives particularly well.
• CLOSE: finish with your cream.
• During the day: exfoliated skin reacts more sensitively to UV light. Always protect it with our face sunscreen.
