What is Phyris Enzyme Peeling?
Phyris Enzyme Peeling is a powder-based facial exfoliant in the Phyris Cleansing line. Our distributor sells it under the name Ferment Peeling. Instead of physical exfoliating grains, it relies on papain, an enzyme naturally found in papaya fruit. In order to activate the papain, you lather the powder with water or toner.
Phyris describes it as offering “a special cleansing experience without exfoliating particles.” As a result, it is one of the gentler resurfacing options in the line, for a fine, silky-smooth finish.
Key benefits of Phyris Enzyme Peeling
- Enzyme-based exfoliation: papain works on dead skin cells without mechanical scrubbing.
- No exfoliating grains: a gentler alternative to peels built on physical particles.
- Fine, silky finish: leaves the skin looking fresh and feeling smooth after rinsing.
- Concentrated powder format: the jar lasts through many treatments, since each application needs only a small amount.
Key ingredients
Papain is an enzyme that occurs naturally in the papaya fruit. In particular, it appears in relatively high concentrations in the still-green skin and seeds. It is also possible to produce it synthetically. Phyris formulates it here specifically for its peeling effect on the skin. This effect supports the skin’s own natural exfoliation process for a smoother, finer-looking surface.
The powder base relies on gentle, sugar-derived surfactants rather than harsher detergents. These include sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium cocoyl glutamate and related mild cleansing agents.
How to use Phyris Enzyme Peeling
- After cleansing, lather about half a teaspoon of the powder in your hands with a little toner or water.
- Then apply to the face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eyes, and gently massage in for several minutes.
- Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes, re-moistening the skin with your fingertips occasionally so it stays active.
- Finally, rinse off carefully with warm water.
Who Phyris Enzyme Peeling is for
Phyris lists Enzyme Peeling for all skin types, including dry, oily and combination skin. It is also a good option for anyone who finds grain-based scrubs too abrasive. Because it works without mechanical particles, it also suits use on the hands, neck and décolleté.
