Are Hydrolytic Enzymes the New Hyaluronic Acid? - The fjör story on Esquire - fjör

By Roberta Schroeder

“If your interest in men’s skincare extends beyond a supermarket bottle of face wash and a basic moisturiser, you’ll be familiar with hyaluronic acid.

"Perhaps, it’s time to let another ingredient into our grooming lexicon: and, if you want your skincare to do more than simply hydrate, that ingredient should be hydrolytic enzymes.
