Science & Benefits

This active is produced by fermenting pomegranate fruit with Lactobacillus, which concentrates the proteolytic enzymes (proteases). These enzymes gently digest the dead skin cells on the surface, facilitating non-acidic exfoliation. Simultaneously, the fermented sugars act as high-performance humectants. It is entirely non-comedogenic and non-irritating. It is a 'gold standard' active for sensitive acne-prone skin, as it prevents clogged pores through enzymatic action while deeply hydrating and calming the barrier.
