A build-up of dead skin cells can be a contributory factor in skin problems such as acne and pimples, as the skin is blocked, with a resultant collection of sebum in the pores, which can get inflamed and then cause pimples and acne. Although a regular skin exfoliation (scrubbing) can remove the dead skin, scrubbing the skin with any course compounds
is not recommended when struggling with acne and pimples, as it may cause micro-wounds and cause the infection to spread even further.

Since scrubbing compounds should not be used on a problem skin, we developed
a superior product to help remove dead skin cells from the skin surface,
without any abrasion to the skin.
Our Problem Skin Enzyme Cleanse does NOT rely on abrasive scrubbing compounds to remove
dead skin cells, but employs two different enzymes to remove this build up.
Apart from removing dead skin cells, our Problem Skin Enzyme Cleanse is also an excellent cleansing treatment
for the skin, and the skin looks visibly fresher after it has been used.
To the enzymes, we added other botanical extracts, that
help boost the skin's health and assist with healing. To give 'body' to the Enzyme Cleanse we added micro-sponges - which
help with the massaging action, without causing any damage to
already stressed and fragile skin.
The Enzyme Cleanse can be used on even the most sensitive skins and will help in the fight to obtain a clear and healthy skin.

Our research department did themselves proud with this formulation, as it effectively helps to clear the skin from dead cells, while boosting skin health and healing - without any scrubbing ingredients or granules.
Whereas some cosmetic manufacturers only use one or two active ingredients, we rely on a whole range of active ingredients to create the promised results, and all the active ingredients are used in therapeutic quantities.

Papaya | |
Papaya contains the enzyme papain, which has wonderful exfoliating properties, specifically when used to remove damaged or dead skin –
especially where excess keloids have formed during wound healing.
It is also used extensively in various medical conditions to debribe the skin of excess skin growth
which occurs in various skin diseases and in the process of wound healing. This extract has great wound healing abilities, with effective anti-bacterial properties, which makes it excellent to include in a product to treat problem skin. | |
Pineapple | |
Pineapple extract contains bromelain, alpha hydroxy acids, enzymes and sugars, which have a purifying and anti-fungal action on the skin, maintaining the moisture of the horny layer of the skin to enhance the elasticity, resilience and softness of the skin.
Pineapple also contains 2 newly discovered enzymes, which effectively remove damaged skin when applied topically. | |
Horse Chestnut | |
This extract protects and strengthens the veins and capillaries, prevents cellular filtration (leaking), promotes better and healthier collagen, fights inflammation - thus making it an all-round promoter of better, healthier and younger looking skin.
Because of all the wonderful qualities of horse chestnut extract, it is one of our "signature ingredients" and is found in the majority of our products. | |
Green Tea | |
It is well known to contain potent anti-oxidant properties and is proven to be beneficial to the skin when used topically and the skin effectively absorbs the EGCC contained in this extract.
Green tea is proven to reduce inflammation, which is present when suffering from skin problems such as acne and pimples – it is the inflammatory condition that causes the skin redness. It also stimulates microcirculation in the skin, directly influencing the health of the skin.
These effects are extremely important when looking at treating problem skin, as proper circulation effectively removes toxins from the skin, while reducing inflammation will help clear up skin problems. | |
Centella asiatica extract | |
Centella asiatica is included in the entire Problem Skin Care Range, as it has extraordinary healing effects on the skin. It helps in the healing of any lesions, and prevents excess scar tissue from forming on the healing wounds.
Centella asiatica helps to repair the walls of the veins and capillaries in the skin, thereby promoting healthy circulation. It also improves tissue firmness and elasticity, improving skin appearance and comfort. This ingredient has so many wonderful properties that it is included as a "signature" ingredient in our products. | |
Olive leaf extract | |
This is used in our Problem Skin Range for its skin healing properties. It is also used for the benefit it has on repairing sun-damaged skin.
Olive leaf extract is easily absorbed through the skin and stimulates the components of the connective tissue, which helps clear the skin of impurities and promotes healthy oxygenated skin.
It has a positive effect on fibroblast, with excellent anti-oxidant effects, protecting the DNA of the cells. It also has antiviral and antimicrobial properties against fungi and bacteria – making it ideal to include in products developed to fight skin problems. | |
Micro-sponges | |
When dealing with acne and pimples it is important to prevent the build up of dead skin cells, which causes blockages in the pores, leading to the formation of pimples and acne.
Micro-sponges are included to effectively yet gently massage the skin, without harming the skin or causing micro abrasions that may be caused by abrasive scrubbing compounds. |
