Enzymes

Enzymes accelerate biochemical reactions. Skin cells are composed of proteins and enzymes capable of degrading proteins called proteases.  Sebaceous glands produce sebum (lipid) and enzymes capable of degrading lipids called lipases.  The outer cell layer of the epidermis is held together by protein attachments. Studies suggest that the breakdown of protein attachments by protease is the principle event of skin exfoliation.  

Enzymes activity depends on temperature. They have an optimal pH range for activity and are specific for certain substances, such as a protein.  Our enzyme complex has a high concentration of natural proteases and lipases along with other ingredients, which enhance normal skin exfoliation. Analysis suggests that not just one, but a group of proteases is required for skin exfoliation.  

Enzyme peels containing proteases and lipases act only on the outer layer of skin (stratum corneum), which is a mild and gentle exfoliation compared to acid peels. Enzyme peels are effective and safe for professional use.  Enzymes are combined with other natural ingredients that are nourishing and anti-inflammatory.  It is safe for all skin types and benefits are instant, visible and enhance the effectiveness of other skin treatments. The enzyme complex contains other ingredients, such as colloidal oat extract, rich in beta-glucan (which has anti-irritant properties, alfalfa herb (a natural source of vitamins C, D, E and K), saponin (a natural plant surfactant), and carboxy-methyl-cellulose (a natural cellulose gum) used to modify the mask's consistency, in addition to proteases and lipases.  

Repeated application of the enzyme mask at regular intervals (weekly or monthly) produce regenerating effects. Incorporation of the enzyme complex facial mask can improve certain skin conditions and enhance the effectiveness of other cosmetic procedures.  I recommend Rx Systems skin care products available online at www.rxsystemspf.com.
