What is Clarifying Enzyme?
Clarifying Enzyme is a gentle, natural exfoliating agent-often derived from fruits like papaya (papain) or pineapple (bromelain)-used in skincare to break down dead skin cells, sebum, and impurities without harsh scrubbing. These enzymes brighten, smooth, and deeply cleanse skin, making them ideal for acne-prone, sensitive, or dull skin types.
