Smart Renewal: Why Pineapple and Papaya Enzymes are Your Skin's Best Friends

At Profcosmetics Margot, our philosophy is rooted in corneotherapy. This means our primary goal is to preserve and strengthen the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin), not to strip it away. But how do we renew the skin and eliminate dullness without causing damage?
The answer is simple: Enzymes.
What are Enzymes and How Do They Work?
Think of them as microscopic "scissors" that very selectively dissolve only the "glue" holding dead skin cells on the surface. Unlike harsh physical scrubs or aggressive chemical acids, enzymes do not affect living cells and do not disrupt your protective barrier.
In our products, we utilize two powerful botanical ingredients:
Bromelain (Pineapple Extract) – It calms inflammation and effectively cleanses the pores.
Papain (Papaya Extract) – It gently polishes the skin's surface, leaving it silky smooth.
Why is This Vital for the Hydro-Lipid Barrier?
Many people are used to cleansing their skin until it feels "squeaky clean," but in the world of corneotherapy, this is a taboo. That "squeak" means you’ve stripped away your natural protection.
An enzyme peel with pineapple and papaya works differently:
Retains Moisture: It doesn’t dehydrate the skin because it only acts on the very surface.
Gentle Action: It is suitable even for hypersensitive skin or skin prone to rosacea (couperose).
"Inner Glow" Effect: After use, the face looks fresh and rested, as if you’ve just stepped out of a professional salon treatment.
How to Use It in Your Home Care Routine?
To achieve a "wow" effect without harming the epidermis, I recommend using our enzyme products 1–2 times a week. This is the perfect way to prep your skin for serums: once the "debris" is removed from the surface, active ingredients can penetrate much deeper.
Margot’s Tip: If you have a major event coming up, an enzyme peel is your "secret agent." Just 10 minutes, and your makeup will sit perfectly, while your skin glows without any filters.
