by Tatcha
Updated August 27, 2026
Gentle foaming enzyme exfoliant softens skin and reduces dryness; pH too high for sensitive types.
What the community says
A gentle foaming enzyme powder exfoliant prized for softening skin and reducing dryness, mainly used once weekly. Ideal for dry, flaky skin needing mild exfoliation but not for sensitive or rosacea-prone types. It has a higher pH than usual, which some users avoid.
