Frequently asked
Why are enzyme cleansers sold as powder?
Enzymes lose activity in water over shelf life. Keeping the formula dry until the moment of use preserves potency, which is why this category is almost always a powder.
Is it gentle enough for daily use?
Generally yes. Enzymatic exfoliation is milder than acids, which is the main selling point for consumers who want resurfacing without irritation.
