Phytomer Vegetal Exfoliant gentle enzyme face exfoliating cream, 50 ml — papain & marine extracts for sensitive skin

PHYTOMER Vegetal Exfoliant is a soft cream cleanser with natural enzymes that gently lifts impurities and smooths skin texture, even for sensitive complexions.

This enzyme-powered exfoliating cream combines marine extracts and papain to offer a gentle resurfacing action without harsh granules. Designed by PHYTOMER’s French marine laboratories, the formula targets dullness and uneven texture while maintaining hydration—use it as a short leave-on treatment to dissolve dead skin cells and reveal a brighter, more refined complexion.

How does this exfoliant work without irritating sensitive skin?

The product relies on papain, a natural plant enzyme, together with soothing marine extracts to break down dead cells rather than abrade them away. That enzyme action minimizes friction and the risk of micro-tears, making it suitable for skin that reacts to physical scrubs.

• Papain gently dissolves surface dead skin for smoother texture.
• Laminaria marine extract helps maintain moisture and comfort.
• Creamy, non-gritty texture reduces mechanical irritation.
• Short leave-on protocol limits exposure to actives for safety.

When and how should I use the exfoliating cream in my routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin on face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Leave the cream on for approximately five minutes to allow enzymatic action, then rinse thoroughly; use 1–3 times weekly or as your skin tolerates.

• Start with once weekly to assess tolerance, then increase slowly.
• Use at night or on non-retinol days to avoid layering strong actives.
• Follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer to replenish barrier lipids.
• Always apply sunscreen the next day; exfoliation can increase UV sensitivity.

What skin concerns will this product help improve?

Regular use can reduce the visible signs of congestion and refine uneven texture, helping skin look fresher and more radiant. It’s formulated to gently smooth rather than aggressively strip, so it addresses dullness and surface roughness while helping makeup apply more evenly.

• Improves skin surface smoothness and texture.
• Helps clear impurities that can trap oil and dullness.
• Enhances natural radiance and evenness of tone.
• Preps skin for better absorption of subsequent skincare steps.

Who is this for? PHYTOMER Vegetal Exfoliant is tailored for people with sensitive to combination skin who want a low-irritation resurfacing option. It suits users seeking a marine-based, enzyme exfoliant that refines texture without abrasive particles—ideal for anyone who needs a gentler alternative to physical scrubs or stronger chemical peels.

How to use: Apply over face and neck avoiding the eye area, leave on for 5 minutes, then rinse. For best results, integrate into a balanced regimen with sun protection and hydration.
