What are the enzymes?

Enzymes are molecules that accelerate chemical processes that occur on the skin. In other words, they help break down the keratin on the skin in order to facilitate the removal of dead cells that remain attached to the dermis.

A good option is June Jacobs Perfect Pumpkin Peeling Enzyme Masque, $60, is a mixture of pumpkin extracts with vitamin A and C to help promote cell generation. As a humectant (a cream that helps retain moisture), it has hyaluronic acid among its list ingredients.

Sensitive skin and allergies

Some of the great benefits that products with enzymes in their ingredients offer are their soothing properties to the dermis. However, if you have very sensitive skin, you should take some extra precautions when using these products. Apply the product on a small area of your face and check it for any reactions for about 24 hours.
