The Power of Enzyme Exfoliation for Radiant, Healthy Skin
When most people think of exfoliation, they imagine scrubs or acid-based formulas - but there’s another, equally effective method: enzyme exfoliation. At Dermalist, we’ve harnessed the gentle yet powerful properties of Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum Fruit Ferment Extract (ACB Modified Pomegranate Enzyme PF) to create a sophisticated resurfacing treatment that’s as kind to your skin as it is transformative.
What is Enzyme Exfoliation?
Enzyme exfoliants use natural proteins and fruit-derived enzymes to dissolve the keratin bonds that hold dead skin cells together. Unlike physical scrubs or stronger acids, enzymes work at the surface level without the need for friction or deep chemical action, making them a beautiful choice for those with sensitive or reactive skin.
The result? Skin that feels smoother, looks brighter, and maintains its natural balance - without redness or over-stripping.
The Role of Pomegranate Enzyme in Dermalist’s Formula
Our ACB Modified Pomegranate Enzyme PF is a carefully optimised extract from Punica Granatum (pomegranate fruit) fermented with Lactobacillus. This fermentation process enhances the enzyme activity, making it more effective at digesting dead surface cells while simultaneously delivering antioxidant benefits to protect against environmental stress.
Key benefits of this pomegranate enzyme:
-
Gentle resurfacing suitable for even sensitive skin.
-
Brightening effect thanks to antioxidant-rich pomegranate polyphenols.
-
Supports skin health by maintaining a balanced microbiome during exfoliation.
Why Enzyme Exfoliation Is a Game-Changer
-
Low irritation potential - Perfect for those who find acids or scrubs too harsh.
-
Precision exfoliation - Targets only the surface layer of dead cells without compromising living tissue.
-
Immediate radiance - Delivers a visible glow in minutes.
Triple-Action Exfoliation: Why Choose One When You Can Have All Three?
While enzyme exfoliation is remarkable on its own, our Ultra Smoothing Facial Exfoliant goes further. We’ve created a multi-dimensional resurfacing experience by combining:
-
Enzyme exfoliation - via ACB Modified Pomegranate Enzyme PF for gentle surface renewal.
-
Physical exfoliation - using biodegradable natural Tagua beads to polish and refine texture.
-
Chemical exfoliation - through skin-loving AHAs (lactic and mandelic acids) for hydration, tone correction, and deeper resurfacing benefits.
This synergy means you get the instant gratification of smoother skin from the physical and enzyme components, paired with the long-term tone and texture benefits of AHAs — all in one sophisticated formula.
How to Incorporate Enzyme Exfoliation Into Your Routine
Use Ultra Smoothing Facial Exfoliant 1–3 times per week after cleansing. Massage gently onto damp skin, allowing the enzymes and AHAs to work for 1–2 minutes before rinsing. For oilier or congested skin, pair with Ultra Hydrating Lactic Cleanser for a complete resurfacing and balancing ritual.
The Dermalist Difference
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all exfoliation. By integrating three proven methods — enzyme, physical, and AHA - into one luxurious treatment, you can customise the intensity to your skin’s needs, season, and tolerance.
Whether your goal is a weekly glow boost or a more targeted approach to texture and pigmentation, our triple-action exfoliant ensures your skin receives both results and respect.
