Collection: Enzyme Cleansers

Enzyme face cleansers use natural enzymes, for example from fruit, rice or papaya, to gently loosen dull surface buildup while you wash your face. They are a soft alternative to scrubs, with no gritty particles, and they leave the skin feeling smooth and fresh. At Glamu you will find enzyme cleansing powders and gentle enzyme cleansers you can easily add to your home routine.

Enzyme powders that foam with water

A cleansing powder turns into a soft foam when you mix it with a little water in your palm. The Anua Rice Enzyme Brightening Cleansing Powder 40g contains rice bran, ceramide and papain and can be used as a daily cleansing powder or as a quick wash-off mask when you want a little extra care.

Enzyme cleansers with PHA

The Biocos Fruit Enzyme + PHA Face Cleanser combines fruit enzymes with gluconolactone, one of the gentlest PHA acids, to cleanse and gently refine the skin surface in one step. If you would like to try other acids too, take a look at Acid Cleansers, or explore Exfoliators & Peels for enzyme peels and masks.

How to use an enzyme cleanser

For a powder, shake a small amount into wet hands, rub to create a foam and massage gently over damp skin. For a cleanser, massage onto damp skin as you would a regular face wash. Rinse well and avoid the eye area. Start with a few times a week if your skin is sensitive, and always follow the instructions on the product.
