What is Enzymatic Peeling and How Does it Work?

Enzymatic peeling is a non-invasive and gentle exfoliation method that uses natural enzymes from fruits such as pineapple, papaya, and pumpkin to remove dead skin cells, deeply cleanse pores, and enhance skin brightness. Unlike chemical peels that use acids for exfoliation, enzymatic peels work without causing irritation or inflammation, leading to skin regeneration, rejuvenation, and a brighter complexion.

Mechanism of Action of Enzymatic Peeling

The enzymes used in this method are proteins that naturally break down keratin and dissolve the proteins that bind dead skin cells together. These enzymes loosen the bonds between dead cells, allowing them to be shed naturally while accelerating cellular renewal. Unlike acid-based exfoliants that may cause irritation or inflammation, natural enzymes selectively target only dead cells, leaving living skin cells intact, which results in a smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin tone.
