COOLING ENZYMATIC PEEL exfoliates and purifies tired, lacklustre skin. Its non-abrasive formula leaves the skin soft, revitalised and radiant. Suitable for All Skin Types Natural fruit enzymes of exfoliating Papaya and calming Pineapple smooths and clarifies the complexion. Both pineapple and papaya are packed with natural enzymes that break up protein and as a result it exfoliates the skin resulting in a mild peel effect. These two natural ingredients contain Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA s) which moisturizes the skin, removes dead skin cells, improves the appearance of scars, helps with ageing, smoothing and firming the skin. The enzymatic action speeds up natural chemical reactions within the skin that renew skin cells while exfoliating dead cells. Enzymes are also reported to diminish scars, age spots, fine lines, and discoloration whilst it penetrates the skin to cleanse pores and improve skin tone and texture. BioDermal Enzyme Exfoliating Peel does not damage or remove live tissue. It exfoliates ONLY dead cells which makes it suitable for all skin types.
INGREDIENT GLOSSARY Ananas Sativus Pineapple Fruit Extract: Pineapple is rich in Vitamin C, as well as Bromelain and is renowned for helping to smooth and soften skin. The extract made from pineapples (Ananas comosus) has a variety of positive effects on the skin. It promotes skin elasticity and improves hydration while removing dead damaged skin, resulting in clearer and younger looking skin. Pineapple fruit have active principles sugars and Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) as well as enzymes. These active principles are responsible for its moisturizing and anti-ageing action, and also have an antifungal and purifying effect on the skin. AHAs are a group of organic acids that work on the corneal layer and reduce the cohesion of the corneocytes. The result of the application of AHAs is a thinner corneal layer, which improves its elasticity and flexibility regardless of the degree of skin hydration. The use of AHAs gives better results than simple hydration; its action is more significant in cases of extreme dryness with visible hydro-keratosis. The sugars and derivatives form hydrogen bridges with the water on the surface of the skin, retaining it and thus maintaining the moisture of the horny layer to enhance the elasticity, resilience and softness of the skin. Two newly discovered enzymes found in pineapple are also highly effective in removing damaged skin (debridement) as was shown when tested in burn trauma. Carica Papaya Extract: Papaya is considered a cleanser for skin with acne conditions. Its value resides in its papain enzyme content which gently digests keratinized dead epithelium cells on the skin s surface, while maintaining protective lipid layers. Papaya Extract derived from the seed of the Papaya fruit contains the enzymes papain and chymonpapain, which have exfoliating properties that remove the appearance of dead skin. It s also believed that in addition to cell renewal benefits, Alpha-Hydroxy Acids also stimulate the growth of Elastin and Collagen, both of which become depleted with age. MENTHOL (PEPPERMINT): Menthol is considered a thermoreceptor (makes the skin feel cool). Peppermint is a rich source of Vitamin A and C. Apart from vitamins, peppermint is good for skin as it contains Folate and Omega-3 fatty acids.
INGREDIENT GLOSSARY Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Alpha hydroxy acids (or AHAs) essentially originate from milk and fruit sugars. The most common alpha hydroxyl acids are lactic acid and glycolic acid. (While you have likely heard of lactic acid and glycolic acid, there are three others: Malic acid, citric acid and tartaric acid). How do alpha hydroxy acids work? The main benefit of an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid is its ability to exfoliate the skin. They essentially remove the glue from the upper layer of skin that holds onto the old, dead skin cells. By effectively removing that top layer of skin, the Alpha-Hydroxy Acids serve to help new skin grow. Alpha-Hydroxy Acids reduce the look of wrinkles, help to prevent winkle formation, make skin smoother and (with continuous daily use) can help skin that s uneven and hyper pigmented become smoother and more even. It s also believed that in addition to cell renewal benefits, Alpha-Hydroxy Acids also stimulate the growth of Elastin and Collagen, both of which become depleted with age.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is there any downtime or recovery period after using BioDermal Cooling Enzymatic Peel? No. Will it be painful? There is no pain or burn associated with this product, but rather a cooling and refreshing tingle. Can I use BioDermal Cooling Enzymatic Peel at home or is it only available in salons? We recommend that you incorporate this treatment in your weekly skincare routine. It is available as a salon treatment, but due to it being as gentle as it is effective (100% natural), it is recommended for home use too. How does BioDermal Cooling Enzymatic Peel work? The enzymes in our exfoliating peel are bio active components; the majority are extracted from fruits. These enzymes have the ability to detach and digest dead protein which is what rough/dead skin cells are - revealing radiant, plump and healthy skin. Are enzyme exfoliators suitable for everyone? BioDermal Cooling Enzymatic Peel is recommended for all skin types, including sensitive skin that can t tolerate mechanical exfoliation or chemical peels (AHA or BHA treatments). Since it is non-abrasive and not sensitizing, the only contraindications are allergies to the actual active components. AHAs and enzymes (proteolytic enzymes) encourage exfoliation, increases cell turnover rate and promotes healthy production of collagen and elastin. Papaya and pineapple contains natural fruit enzymes (papain) and (bromelain enzymes) which gently digest keratinized dead epithelium cells on the skin s surface, while maintaining protective lipid layers. The pineapple enzyme, a principal source of Bromelain, also actively renews cells, evens out skin tone while gently removing dead skin, producing soft and renewed skin. BioDermal Cooling Enzymatic Peel restores vital nutrients in your skin leaving it moisturized, clarified and rejuvenated while reducing wrinkles, stretch marks, scars, fine lines, crow s feet, acne, and blemishes. Phytelene complex penetrate, restore, clarify, and hydrate the skin from the deepest subcutaneous layer of the derma to the fifth layer of the cell matrix. It also restores connective tissue to its normal composition even in aged skin by promoting the body s own production of biosynthesized collagen and elastin. As a result, proper collagen and elastin functions are enhanced and radiant smooth soft skin is balanced, as lines and wrinkles are diminished.
