How Skinstitut Enzyme Peels Benefit Your Skin

I've been in the beauty industry for 4+ years now, although my background is originally in fine arts. In between researching and publishing our guides, I’m usually snacking and making spontaneous (and somewhat chaotic) choices about what to do with my hair.
A peel is a great way to refresh and resurface your skin, but getting to an aesthetician is not always an option.
Skinstitut makes it possible to enjoy a serious spa-like experience at home with its Enzymatic Micro Peel, a supercharged resurfacer designed to leave your skin looking as though you have spent hours at the spa, without the professional price tag.
Reveal a Smoother and Brighter Complexion
A truly unique at-home exfoliator, it is completely free of physical exfoliants, instead utilising fruit enzymes to resurface the skin. Enzymes exfoliate by gently eating away at excess dead skin cells, sebum, and acne-causing bacteria without creating the microtears and inflammation that physical exfoliants sometimes can. These gentle exfoliators are incredible for minimising uneven skin texture, dark spots, blemishes, and acne scarring. Enzymatic Micro Peel easily renews and revives the complexion without leaving skin red, raw, or inflamed.

What makes Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel so effective?

●  Papaya Extract contains gentle enzymes that resurface without irritation for smooth, supple skin.
●  Chamomile, a potent anti-inflammatory, minimises irritation and soothes redness naturally to maintain a healthy, glowing complexion.
●  Hyaluronic Acid attracts moisture from the air and benefits the skin’s natural barrier, keeping moisture levels even and protecting skin from dehydration.
●  Passionfruit Oil and Grapeseed Oil infuse skin with antioxidant protection while providing hydration and nourishment.
●  Vitamin B5 and Vitamin B3 nourish skin and heal barrier damage, strengthening against environmental assault, dehydration, and bacterial invasion.

How to use Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel:

  1. Cleanse with a gentle cleanser, such as Skinstitut Gentle Cleanser 200ml.
  2. After cleansing, apply a thin layer of the peel to entire face and neck.
  3. Leave on for 5 to 15 minutes.
  4. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  5. For particularly dry or sensitised skin, follow with a hydrating treatment or mask, such as Skinstitut Hydrating Mask, to minimise any irritation or dryness that may result from more intense exfoliation.
  6. Follow with a nourishing moisturiser: either Skinstitut Moisture Defence - Normal Skin, or the corresponding Moisture Defence product for your skin type.
  7. During the day, apply a sunscreen of at least SPF 30, such as Skinstitut Age Defence SPF50+.
  8. Use as often as needed, though everyday use is discouraged.

Who Can Use the Enzymatic Micro Peel?

Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel is suitable for all skin types. Those with dehydrated, sensitive, or compromised skin will benefit most from this peel, as its gentle formula keeps skin from becoming inflamed. This peel is so gentle, in fact, that it can be used to help tackle skin issues such as rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Ensure you wear sunscreen of at least SPF 30 when using this product. Any exfoliator causes the skin to become more sun-sensitive and can result in sun damage if the skin isn’t adequately protected.

Tips When Using the Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel at Home

To boost the before and after effects of Enzymatic Micro Peel, try adding a few other glow-getters to your routine. Skinstitut L-Lactic Cleanser, another gentle option for resurfacing, is a great, low-impact, daily-use product for boosting radiance and smoothness. Because cleansing is a quick step, chemical exfoliants in your cleanser aren’t likely to dry out or irritate the skin when used with other products. For a more treatment-focused approach, try Skinstitut Even Blend Serum. This pigment-reducing serum resurfaces your complexion and evens out skin tone, dark spots, and imperfections. Adding a little resurfacing to your daily routine makes Enzymatic Micro Peel more effective. However, whether paired with other brighteners or used alone, you’ll be positively glowing with Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel.
