What is the hydrolytic enzyme?
The Hydrolytic Enzyme has profound effects on the skin by deactivating viruses and fungi while keeping the skin’s natural microbiota balanced and thriving. Our enzyme is designed to strengthen your skin's natural defences and support the skin cycle.
Additionally, it is a targeted exfoliant that gently removes only the dead cells from the skin surface. This activates the skin's natural renewal process, creating new cells at the base of the epidermis which move upwards to reinforce the skin barrier.
This process also empowers other ingredients to reach deeper layers of the skin subsequently reducing redness and hydrating deeply - leaving the skin smooth, fresh, and radiant.
The hydrolytic enzyme has four key functions:
Microbiome Rebalance
The Hydrolytic Enzyme restores the skin's microbiome while deactivating excess microbes like viruses, bacteria, and fungi on the skin's surface. This addresses imbalances contributing to skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and acne.
Hydration
The Hydrolytic Enzyme deeply hydrates the skin by stimulating the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen. This results in nourished and radiant skin throughout the day and gives your skin a glowy and dewy look.
Performance Booster
The Hydrolytic Enzyme increases the efficacy of other active ingredients in our skincare products such as peptides, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. It maximizes the benefits derived from each product, delivering visible improvements.
Exfoliation
The Hydrolytic Enzyme is a mild exfoliant that gently removes dead cells from the skin surface, leaving the skin smooth, fresh, and radiant.
The skincare Program results
Volunteers sampled the hydrolytic serum for 6 weeks, AM + PM. This was their experience:
91%
saw positive effects within 6 weeks of using this serum
96%
would reccomend the hydrolytic serum to a friend
