Enzymatic exfoliation is the gentlest form of exfoliation, making it an excellent option for anyone unable to tolerate chemical exfoliants (like those containing Glycolic Acid) or physical exfoliants (often known as face scrubs).
Like exfoliating acids, exfoliating enzymes work to dissolve the glue holding dead skin cells together. While exfoliating acids can penetrate deeper into the skin, enzymatic exfoliation only works on the outermost layer of the skin, promoting cell turnover without disturbing the skin's protective barrier. This makes enzymatic exfoliation suitable for sensitive skin types or anyone who prefers to exfoliate every day in a safe way.

Liquid Gold Exfoliating Treatment is a leave-on chemical exfoliant that contains 5% Glycolic Acid at a low pH of 2.8-3.0 that works within multiple layers of the skin to exfoliate and stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

It always recommended to apply and reapply an adequate amount of a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to all exposed parts of the face and body. This is especially important when using exfoliating skincare to ensure you are protecting your results.
I’m so glad that I followed the instructions carefully when using the Illuminating Enzyme Polish for the first time. There is a specific technique to achieve the best results and to avoid a bathroom covered in fine powder! Now that I know what to do, I am finding that my skin is responding well and feels smoother and clearer. It is gentle and effective for my normal but mature skin.
This is really unusual as it’s a powder that you add a little bit of water to and then exfoliate. I absolutely love it and I can feel it working. Love the alpha H range.
Easy to use, smells really lovely and leaves my skin smooth but not dry. What's not to love !
I've been using this every couple of days. Loving the gentle exfoliation without feeling like my skin has been stripped.
The perfect start to a salon worthy facial treatment
