Bottom Line

This luxury brand nearly rivals a professional chemical peel in terms of its ability to reveal rejuvenated skin.

Pros

Thick in texture yet won't scratch your skin's vulnerable surface. Ingredients dissolve dirt and excess oil, revealing clean results that shine in a healthy way. Customers love the smell and the smooth results they see after wearing for only a short time.

Cons

Can feel a bit too powerful for some sensitive skin types and is best to test a small patch first.

Bottom Line

With a host of organic ingredients, this mask can at least make you look like you've reversed in age.

Pros

Non-GMO, certified organic, and highly effective in terms of doing its job and revealing softer, glowing skin. Tingles in a good way, assuring you that the product is breaking down layers of dead skin cells. See reductions in spots and large pore sizes after a single use.

Cons

While short term effects help with the appearance of imperfections, long term results are rarely noted.

    Enzymes are natural protein catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. An enzyme peel, gentler than a chemical peel, speeds up skin exfoliation. They only remove skin cells that are already dead, which means there's no post-treatment redness. Many enzyme peels derive their active ingredients naturally — like from fruit, for example. Enzyme peels can diminish scarring and age spots, as well as cleanses pores and improves skin texture. The gentle nature of enzyme peels makes them ideal for a variety of skin types and suitable for regular use. Enzyme peels can be drying, so make sure to check ingredients or keep moisturizer on hand prior to making a purchase.
