What are Enzymes?

Definition: 

Molecules that accelerate biochemical reactions.  Enzymes break down bonds between skin cells for easier exfoliation.  Enzymes accelerate the exfoliation process of dead skin cells (on the stratum corneum) that are part of the skin's natural exfoliation process. 

How does it work?

The skin is made of 3 dimensional cells that form layers (like a brick wall) and are connected by a "glue-like" bond.  As the cells approach the outer surface of the epidermis, they become cornified and flat but are still connected with a "glue-like" bond.  Enzymes accelerate the dissolution of the "glue-like" bond enhancing normal exfoliation and hydration.  The result is a smoother, softer, healthier epidermis.
