Papaya enzyme skin benefits: Soothing, exfoliating, brightening, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial 

Why we love it: Papaya enzymes are an incredible addition to any skincare ritual. They are very efficient at exfoliating the skin without causing irritation. They basically work to gently remove the skins outer layer of dead skin cells (which contributes to the build up of bacteria and sebum on the skin)… revealing a healthier, clearer, brighter and more radiant complexion.
