A note from Dr. Ching

“Enzymes resurface the skin gently. Acids resurface aggressively. For most patients — and most days — gentle is the right answer. This is the cleanser I keep in my own shower.”

The Science

How it works.

Resurface without the acid burn.

Papain — the active enzyme in papaya — selectively dissolves the keratin holding dead surface cells together. It works only on already-dead cells, so it brightens without thinning live tissue the way acid resurfacing can. Add honey's humectant draw and you finish hydrated, not stripped.
