ENZYME PEELINGS VS. FRUIT ACIDS PEELINGS AND SCRUBS - WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

February 18, 2021

ENZYME PEELINGS VS. FRUIT ACIDS PEELINGS AND SCRUBS -  WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
A regular skincare routine usually includes a facial peeling. However, often it's not so easy to decide what  a peeling product would work the best  for your skin. Let’s briefly discuss this topic.
Fruit Acids Peels:
Main active - a collection of intense acids (such as salicylic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid). These products are acidic. 
Action principle - exfoliate dead skin via dissolving certain proteins and lipids that keep dead skin cells close together. The activity of this peel is highly dependant on the percentage of the fruit acids in a formula, so it might range from mild to super strong. 
Benefits - provides a fast result of softer and more radiant looking skin; provides a deep cleanse for the skin
Downsides - due to its acidity, can sometimes cause soreness or sun sensitivity. In addition, it often removes an upper layer of living skin cells, which causes irritation and a longer period of recovery. In that case, some aftercare for the skin should be applied. 
For whom this peel might work well - those who have normal (not sensitive) skin and who are seeking for faster and more profound exfoliating results. 

Scrubs:
Main active - different sorts of physical particles (such as sugar, salt, coffee, seeds, nutshells, oats, pumice, ground rice, etc.). These products are pH neutral. 
Action principle - this is a mechanical exfoliation, which removes the dead skin cells using physical abrasion.
Benefits - provides a fast cleansing result.
Downsides - As some particles particles have edges, they may cause soreness and microtraumas of the skin, which may lead to inflammation. In addition, like acids peel, it often removes an upper layer of good living skin cells, which causes irritation and a longer period of recovery.
For whom this peel might work well - those who have healthy normal skin and who prefer fast cleansing results.
Enzyme Peels:  
Main active - natural products usually obtained by the fermentation. These products are Ph neutral. 
Action principle - also cleanse your skin via dissolving dead skin cells proteins, but without irritation and causing sun sensitivity.  The activity of this peel is highly dependant on the percentage of enzymes in a formula, so it might range from mild to strong. 
Benefits - makes your skin smooth and glowing without damaging the epidermis.
      Some enzyme peelings, besides exfoliation, provide other benefits to the skin. For instance, peels like Gentle Facial Peeling Gel With Natural Enzymes and Ginger Root Extract by Luksha Cosmetics (https://www.lukshacosmetics.com/collections/extra-treatment/products/gentle-facial-peeling-gel-with-natural-enzymes-and-ginger-root-extract)  also improves the collagen production to firm and strengthen your skin.
Downsides - due to its gentle action, should be used more frequently than acids peel. 
For whom this peel might work well - those who have sensitive skin, pregnant or breast-feeding, and who are seeking for an effective but mild exfoliating regime.
