Gentle protease exfoliating enzyme helps with clogged pores and texture without harsh AHA/BHA acids
What the community says
Gentle, enzyme-based exfoliating toner celebrated in K-beauty circles for hydrating and loosening dead skin cells to improve texture and closed comedones, but its slow effects and potential to irritate sensitive or compromised barriers cause mixed results.
What this means for you
What people love
- Gentle protease exfoliating enzyme helps with clogged pores and texture without harsh AHA/BHA acids
- Hydrating formula that supports skin barrier and suits use alongside active treatments like tretinoin and azelaic acid
- Lightweight texture absorbs well and is often preferred over heavier, milky toners for daily use
Watch out for
- Can cause dryness, irritation, or redness especially if barrier is compromised or if layered with other exfoliants
- Some users find it slow to show any results or no visible improvement after extended use
- May increase oiliness or feeling greasy in the T-zone when used at night, challenging for oily or combination skin
