A month ago I attended a SKNLOGIC presentation and the product that I was most keen to try, was the SKNLOGIC Enzymatic Exfoliator.
This is what their website has to say about the product:
Papaya Extract can be used to treat or eliminate old dead skin cells, acne, age spots and other skin disorders and even to reduce the signs of premature aging. Vitamin A acts as an anti-oxidant, while the papain breaks down inactive proteins and removes dead skin cells. The best feature of the fruit is its low sodium quality. Since the salt content is less, the water retention is also little. The result is an overall hydrated skin. Protease Enzyme helps to break down detached dead skin cells from the skin surface. Use of proteolytic enzymes is the newest form of the enzymatic skin exfoliation. These enzymes mimic the role of your own body’s natural protease enzymes and promote decay of the protein and dissolution of dead skin cells stimulating cell renewal. Citric Acid assists with skin renewal and reduces depth of wrinkles by influencing collagen synthesis.
We all know how important it is to exfoliate and I have always loved a good scrub. Over the last couple of years my skin has become even more sensitive and most (almost all) granular scrubs that I have tried, leaves my skin even more sensitive and even worse, flaky. An enzymatic exfoliator is the best option. This one is ideal for sensitive, problematic and mature skins. Tick, tick, and half a tick.
The product itself has a thick gel-like feel that is smooth and white in colour. It basically smells like nothing.
You apply it to damp, freshly cleansed skin and massage using small circular movements, like you would with a scrub. It kind of feels like nothing’s happening while you use it, so I was a bit sceptical about the efficacy of this product. I was very happy to discover that my skin felt smooth after I removed the exfoliator. My skin skin wasn’t sensitive or red, just super soft and glowing.
I also use the product on my hands. My hands are super sensitive and I can’t bring anything abrasive close to them or my eczema flares up. This exfoliator doesn’t burn or sting my hands, and leaves them silky soft. And because of the price, I don’t feel guilty using it on my hands as well.
In a nutshell:
