Gentle Clarifying Enzyme Peel 50 ml

The Gentle Clarifying Enzyme Peel from TEAM DR JOSEPH renews the skin particularly gently. Enzymes from papaya and pineapple remove dead skin cells, clarify pores, and refine the skin's texture – entirely without mechanical exfoliating particles.

Salicylic acid complements the formula, especially for clogged pores and blemishes, while glycerin, carrageenan, and sodium lactate bind moisture and ensure that the skin feels smooth and nourished rather than dry after exfoliation.

• Gentle enzyme peel for all skin types, especially sensitive and blemish-prone skin
• Removes dead skin cells without mechanical friction
• Clarifies and refines the skin's texture and restores radiance to a dull complexion
• Particularly recommended for clogged pores, blemishes, and rough skin
• With papaya, pineapple, salicylic acid, sodium lactate, carrageenan, glycerin, and radish ferment
• Transparent, lightweight gel with a contact time of only about 4 minutes
• Also suitable for blemish-prone and acne-prone skin
• Use only 1–2 times per month

Because the peel works without friction, it is also suitable for sensitive, blemish-prone, and acne-prone skin. After a contact time of only about four minutes, the complexion looks fresher, more even, and visibly clearer.

We find the enzyme peel particularly well suited to skin that benefits from regular exfoliation but does not tolerate classic scrubs or stronger acid peels as well. If you are looking for more intensive fruit acid care for pigmentation, dull skin, and lines, the Fruit Acid Peel is the ideal alternative.

Since 1986, TEAM DR JOSEPH has combined traditional plant knowledge with modern cosmetic research. For its peels, the South Tyrolean natural cosmetics brand purposefully combines plant enzymes and modern active ingredients for different skin needs – from sensitive to blemish-prone or mature skin.

Key ingredients

• Papaya & Pineapple – Papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple break down protein-based bonds between dead corneocytes. This allows excess flakes to be gently removed, pores to appear clearer, and the skin's surface to feel immediately smoother.
• Salicylic Acid & Sodium Lactate – Salicylic acid helps clarify clogged pores and is particularly valuable for oily and blemish-prone skin. Sodium lactate is part of the skin's natural moisturizing system and combines a gentle keratolytic effect with additional hydration.
• Carrageenan, Glycerin & Radish Ferment – Carrageenan and glycerin help retain moisture in the skin and balance the exfoliating effect with nourishing care. Radish ferment complements the formula with antimicrobial and skin-conditioning properties.

How to use

• Apply a thin layer to the face, neck, and décolleté.
• Leave on for about 4 minutes.
• Then remove thoroughly with lukewarm water or a warm, damp cloth.
• Use 1–2 times per month.
• During the day, as after any peel, we recommend using a good sunscreen.

FAQ

What skin types is the Gentle Clarifying Enzyme Peel suitable for?
The peel is suitable for all skin types and is particularly recommended for sensitive, blemish-prone, and acne-prone skin. Since it works without exfoliating particles or mechanical friction, it exfoliates the skin very gently.

What is the difference between an enzyme peel and a mechanical peel?
A mechanical peel removes flakes through friction. With the Gentle Clarifying Enzyme Peel, papaya and pineapple enzymes perform this task. They dissolve dead corneocytes without the need for mechanical treatment of the skin.

Is the enzyme peel also suitable for pimples and clogged pores?
Yes. TEAM DR JOSEPH explicitly recommends it for blemish-prone and acne-prone skin. Enzymes remove excess keratinization, while salicylic acid additionally helps clarify clogged pores.

What is the difference compared with the Fruit Acid Peel?
The Gentle Clarifying Enzyme Peel works primarily with papaya and pineapple enzymes and is the gentler choice, especially for sensitive skin. The Fruit Acid Peel relies more heavily on fruit acids and is specifically designed to target pigmentation, dull skin, lines, and more intensive skin renewal.
