  5. Follow with serum and moisturizer. Use 1–2 times a week, morning or evening.

Questions

Asked about Enzyme Polish

How does an enzyme polish work?

Papain and bromelain are enzymes that loosen the bonds holding dead surface cells in place, so they rinse away. There are no scrub particles, so nothing is dragged across the skin.

Is it gentler than an acid?

It is a different mechanism and a rinse-off, so nothing is left on the skin. Many people who cannot tolerate leave-on acids find they can use it. Patch test first all the same.

Can I use it in the same week as an acid?

It is designed for the weeks you take off acids. If you do use both, keep them on different days and watch how your skin responds.

Is it suitable during pregnancy?

We do not clear any product for pregnancy. The formula contains no acids and no retinoids, and the full ingredient list is on this page for your doctor.

Does it contain fragrance?

No. It is fragrance-free and grit-free.

I have a latex or pineapple allergy. Can I use it?

Papain comes from papaya and bromelain from pineapple, and both can matter for some allergies. That is a question for your allergist, with the ingredient list in hand.

    Sensitive

    Exfoliation my skin can actually take

    Acids make me red. This does not. Three minutes, rinse, and my skin feels smooth with no stinging at all.

  2. Monique B.

    Verified buyer

    Normal

    Before an event

    I use it the morning of anything where I am wearing makeup. Foundation goes on much more evenly.

  3. Peter H.

    Verified buyer

    Oily

    Gentle, maybe too gentle

    It is very mild. I see a difference in smoothness but if you are used to strong acids you may want more. That is probably the point of it.

  4. Anika S.

    Verified buyer

    Dry

    No scrub particles, thank goodness

    I gave up scrubs years ago. This gives me the smooth feeling without the scratching.

    Combination

    Tube is hard to finish

    Love the product. The last few uses are hard to get out of the tube without cutting it open.

  6. Camille J.

    Verified buyer

    Combination

    My week-off product

    On the weeks I skip the mandelic I use this once. Keeps things even.

  7. Noel T.

    Verified buyer

    Dry

    Clay dried a bit tight

    It worked, but it felt slightly tight for a minute after rinsing until I moisturized. I think I left it on closer to five minutes, so stick to three.

  8. Samira Q.

    Verified buyer

    Normal to oily

    Simple and effective

    Short list of ingredients, no smell, does the job in three minutes.
