Peeling helps make the skin more youthful, radiant, and elastic.
Each salon offers several types of such procedures to choose from. You need to decide: which one to choose?
One type of procedure is an enzyme procedure, which is especially popular. What it is, what indications and contraindications there are for enzymatic (enzymatic) facial peeling, we will explain further.
The essence of the method
This procedure is gentle, performed using enzymes and is suitable for any skin. During the procedure, secretions of sebaceous and sweat glands, protein contaminants, and dead epidermal cells are removed from the surface of the face.
Enzymes stimulate the course of chemical reactions, as a result of which complex substances are broken down into elements that are easily absorbed by the body. They dissolve dead skin particles and are an alternative to abrasive exfoliants and highly concentrated acids used in chemical peeling.
This anti-aging procedure is recommended for women with oily or combination skin twice a week. For sensitive skin, it can be used no more than once every 10 days. With more frequent use, the skin looks dull and drier due to the removal of the protective layer. You can perform peeling in a salon or at home.
The effect from the salon will be higher, since more active agents are used for it. If you decide to carry out such a procedure at home, you can buy the necessary medications at a cosmetic store or salon.
Mechanism of action
The stratum corneum of the epidermis contains proteolytic enzymes that affect the rate of chemical reactions. They take an active part in the renewal of the epidermis by breaking down proteins. The ongoing aging processes are accompanied by loss of moisture and a slowdown in the renewal process of epidermal cells. The top layer thickens, impurities accumulate on the surface, and the skin becomes dull and uneven.
Enzymes in enzyme peeling destroy chemical bonds, which makes it easier to exfoliate dead epithelium. This manipulation affects only the stratum corneum, without penetrating deeper. Removing the top layer helps to enhance skin cell renewal.
The most popular ingredients are:
Types of enzymes
Enzymes for the procedure can be of bacterial, animal or plant origin.
The most popular are:
- papain (isolated from papaya: leaves, fruits, peel, has antimicrobial properties, gets rid of dead cells, eliminates inflammatory processes, regulates the functions of the sebaceous glands, prevents the formation of comedones and acne);

- travaza (produced by bacteria, has a whitening, exfoliating, loosening effect);
- subtilisin (produced by bacteria, the effect is stronger than papain);
- lysozyme (obtained from egg white, has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial effect, activates the immune system);
- sorbaine (obtained from papaya and lemon, gets rid of dead cells, enhances metabolic processes in skin cells);
- bromelain (obtained from papaya, wild lemon, pineapple, eliminates inflammation, relieves pimples, acne);

Customer Reviews
“I haven’t used peelings before, I made do with scrubs. Then I decided that I needed to try something different, more effective. I bought the drug at a cosmetic store and did everything at home according to the instructions. The result is great.
At first I applied it for 8 minutes, the last time I left it on for 15 minutes. After application, I feel a tingling sensation on the skin (the sensation was especially intense the first time). But this is normal, in the future the sensations become dull.”
Christina, 27 years old:
“I completed a course of 7 procedures. My problem was that in my youth I suffered from acne and had scars on my face that I couldn’t get rid of. And then I noticed the effect after the first procedure.
The result satisfied me completely: the scars disappeared, as did the wrinkles that appeared. The skin looks smooth and attractive. Having gotten rid of the main problem, I also received rejuvenation.”
Anastasia, 46 years old:
“My skin always looked good, I tried to take care of it correctly. However, age-related changes caused more grief every year. I decided to undergo enzymatic peeling with papain to get rid of wrinkles and age spots. Of course, I couldn’t get rid of deep wrinkles (I have facial wrinkles on my forehead), but the small ones have almost disappeared. The skin texture has become more even, and pigment spots have also been eliminated.”
Victoria, 39 years old:
“Before the procedure, I searched for a suitable salon for a long time. I set a price range for myself up to 2500 rubles. As a result, I found a clinic (in St. Petersburg), where the session cost 1,200 rubles. I liked the result: the skin is smooth, refreshed, moisturized.”

Benefits of Enzyme Peeling
Among the many options for procedures and technologies for eliminating dead skin cells of the epidermis and cleansing pores of sebum, peelings are especially popular.
Enzyme peeling is a mild alternative to chemical peels. He
- Suitable for absolutely any skin, both by type and age.
- acts more delicately than fruit acids and is suitable even for sensitive skin.
- regulates and restores the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
- effective in the fight against rosacea, acne, acne and post-acne.
- It can be done either independently at home or as a salon procedure.
- low-traumatic - after it the skin does not peel, peel or redden, because no burn.
- it can be used all year round regardless of the season.
Principle of action
Enzymes are protein molecules that regulate the flow of chemical processes and stimulate the breakdown of complex substances into small, easily digestible elements. In other words, enzymes or enzymes “dissolve” dead cells of the stratum corneum of the skin, destroying the chemical bonds between them, and gently exfoliate them, stimulating the renewal of skin cells and smoothing out the skin texture.
Action of enzymes
The epidermis itself already contains such organic enzymes. But with age, their action in the body slows down, cells are renewed less frequently, comedones appear, and due to lack of oxygen, complexion deteriorates.
Enzyme peeling not only cleanses the skin of the old layer of cells, but also has a temporary effect on existing enzymes - for a short period they begin to work independently in normal mode.
Unlike acid peeling, enzyme peeling provides only superficial cleansing. Because the action of enzymes takes place only in the stratum corneum of the epidermis.

Indications and contraindications
Enzyme peels are recommended by experts for use in a variety of cases:
- for young skin (from 18 years old) as a cleanser;
- for mature skin with the first signs of aging as a means to stimulate cellular regeneration, oxygen saturation and restore tone;
- for oily skin with the initial stage of rosacea, the first fuzzy pigment spots and fresh traces of post-acne;
- for dry skin, this is a way to carefully remove dead skin cells without the use of aggressive abrasives and acids.
- for hypersensitive skin that cannot tolerate deep chemical peeling and is prone to allergic reactions to certain components of cosmetic preparations.
- For mulatto women and everyone who wants to maintain a tan, this peeling will allow you to combine business with pleasure.
In order not to place unnecessary hopes on this lightweight type of peeling, let us immediately note a number of “NOTs” associated with the effect of enzymes on the skin:
- NOT for deep cleansing.
- NOT for removing deep wrinkles or scars.
Contraindications for enzyme peeling
Despite the fact that this is a gentle peeling option, there are a number of strict contraindications for the cosmetic procedure:
- Purulent inflammation on the skin.
- Herpes, warts on treated areas.
- Open wounds (scratches, open pimples, cuts, etc.).
- Allergy to enzymes included in the product.
- Diabetes, endocrine disorders, blood diseases.
Types of enzymes for peeling
There are several main enzymes - proteases, which are used in cosmetology.
- Plant origin:
- Papain - from papaya, has an antibacterial effect, regulates sebum production, and prevents the formation of inflammation.
- Bromelain – from pineapple stems and leaves, has an anti-inflammatory effect.
- Ficin – from the juice of fig leaves, stimulates collagen production.
- Actinidin – from kiwi, removes dead skin cells.
- Sorbaine - from a combination of lemon and papaya, stimulates metabolic processes in skin cells.
- Animal origin (protein):
- Lysozyme - from chicken protein, stimulates the immune system.
- Trypsin - from the pancreas of cattle, is a catalyst for protein and peptide breakdown.
- Bacterial origin:
- Subtilisin is a hydrolase enzyme, a more effective analogue of papain.
- Travaza is a protease enzyme that promotes exfoliation and whitening of the skin.
Peels containing bacterial enzymes have a more pronounced effect on the surface layers of the skin due to their deep penetrating properties. They are included in the line of professional salon cosmetics and are not recommended for home care.
Salon peeling with enzymes
A universal opportunity to try the effect of enzyme peeling is to visit a salon. A professional cosmetologist will select a product that suits your specific skin type and the problems you have with it.
Salon peeling is more effective compared to independent procedures, since specialists often use the most active bacterial enzymes to carry out the procedure.
Preparation for the procedure
A few days before use, it is necessary to exclude from use all products containing retinol or acids.
In addition, it is important to take into account all the contraindications from the list above and, if possible, eliminate them. For example, to cure wounds or inflammations.
It is imperative to test the peeling composition for possible allergic skin reactions. Usually, to do this, a small amount of the product is applied to the inside of the wrist or the bend of the elbow - the skin is softer there - and left for a few minutes. If there is no redness, burning or rash, then you can proceed directly to cosmetic procedures.
Stages of the procedure
Intermediate stage or preparation for the procedure (takes from 15 to 30 minutes).
Salon enzyme peeling
Initially, all makeup is removed from the face, then the skin is toned. The cosmetologist selects cleansers and toners that match the client’s skin type.
Next, the skin is treated with a special pre-peeling solution. It has a softening effect, moisturizes and prepares epidermal cells for maximum penetration of enzymes into them.
Special fabric masks soaked in a similar solution are often used.
In extremely rare situations, the skin requires minimal mechanical action in the form of a scrub before applying the pre-peeling solution to remove the upper keratinized layer of cells.
Peeling (lasts from 10 to 30 minutes).
Using a special brush, the composition is applied in an even thin layer to the face, as well as the neck and décolleté area, if required. In some cases, peeling is applied even to thin eyelid skin. Then the treated areas are covered with film or a warm, damp towel.
The duration of the procedure depends on the initial condition of the skin. On average it takes 20-25 minutes. With rare exceptions, enzyme peeling does not cause pain, the maximum is a slight tingling, tingling or burning sensation.
Salon enzyme peeling procedure
Upon completion of the treatment process, the entire product is thoroughly washed off with warm water. If acids have been added to the enzyme peeling, then additional cleansing with acid neutralizers is required.
Finally, the skin is treated with tonic and a mask is applied.
Post-procedure care
IMPORTANT. Immediately after peeling, you should not touch your face with your hands, clothes, or even hair. And just avoid direct sunlight for just one day.
There is actually no special care as such. There are only recommendations:
- wash with boiled or bottled water;
- do not use foundation;
- tone the skin with soothing lotions;
- use soft moisturizers recommended by the specialist (manufacturers often immediately release skin care products after peeling in the line).
Usually, for thorough and consistent cleansing of the skin from existing imperfections, a course of enzymatic peelings of 10-12 sessions is required.
Homemade peeling recipes
Enzyme peeling is easy to do yourself, even at home. The main thing is to remember the contraindications.
The simplest option is to use as ingredients those plants whose enzymes are most often used as active components in cosmetics.
Enzyme peeling with papaya and lemon, recipe
For example, make a peeling mask from papaya pulp, lemon juice and honey. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and apply to a previously cleansed and steamed face with sterile gloved hands or a brush. After 5 minutes, rinse with warm water.
If you live in an area where figs grow, be sure to try the following option.
Rinse a few leaves under running water, pour over boiling water and grind in a blender. Squeeze the juice out of the resulting pulp. Makes about 1 tbsp. Stir the juice, 1 tsp. olive or grape oil and 1 tsp. lemon juice. If desired, you can add the pulp of the fig itself - it is an excellent antioxidant.
How often can you peel with enzymes?
The frequency of procedures depends on the type of facial skin: for oily and combination skin no more than twice a week, for dry and sensitive skin - once every ten days.
The prescribed course is recommended to be carried out every six months.
Possible consequences and complications
If the sequence of peeling is violated, the product is overexposed during the procedure, used too often, or neglectful aftercare, you can dry out the skin and thin the epidermis so much that it becomes susceptible to any external influence.
As a result, instead of healthy and glowing skin, you can get the completely opposite effect: pigmentation, peeling, new wrinkles, worsening acne and even viral rashes.

Today the question of how to stay young and healthy over the years is very relevant. Women and men are ready to take advantage of various procedures offered by beauty salons in order to maintain a youthful appearance. Everyone wants to be young both in soul and body.
Enzyme peeling
As for the soul - this is a question from the category of philosophy, pedagogy and psychology - this is something that cannot be “touched with your hands”, but can be felt. And the youth of the body is just something that you can not only touch with your hands, but also see and even influence. Let's consider the question of how to prolong the youth of the face.
It is no secret that over the years, every emotion leaves its mark on our face in the form of wrinkles, and an incorrect daily routine or diet, our heredity, as well as solar radiation, working conditions, and lifestyle can also leave their mark on our face in the form of age spots, peeling and deep wrinkles.
What is enzyme peeling?
If there are minor skin defects on the face, if there is a need to refresh or lighten the skin of the face, then enzyme peeling comes to the rescue, which is based on the processes that occur in our body.
Enzyme peeling, or as it is also called enzymatic peeling, is a superficial peeling based on the effect of active substances – enzymes – on the upper layers of the skin. This procedure falls into the category of gentle procedures that are suitable for all skin types.
The procedure is designed to cleanse the facial skin of protein contaminants, secretions of sebaceous and sweat glands, as well as remove dead cells of the stratum corneum of the epidermis. Young skin needs enzyme peeling to cleanse, moisturize and protect. Mature skin - to stimulate renewal processes, restore skin tone and color.
The mixture used for the enzyme peeling procedure is based on fruits such as papaya, blueberries, pineapple and pomegranate. Cosmetologists often use this type of gentle peeling when performing salon procedures.
Cosmetic clinics often combine enzymes with certain acids. This mixture is applied to sensitive skin and sensitive areas of the face such as eyelids, neck and décolleté. For mature skin, cosmetologists recommend combining enzymes with components such as lactic acid - to give the skin a healthy glow and elasticity, as well as grape extract, which acts as an antioxidant. For oily skin, it is recommended to combine enzymes with salicylic acid.
To apply this procedure yourself, without turning to specialists, you can use products that cosmetic companies produce for home use.
