‘To peel’ comes from the English word, referring to the act of removing skin; exfoliation is a process that tends to eliminate, thanks to particular enzymes from fruit, dead skin cells, particularly from the superficial stratum corneum.
The skin is the largest organ of our body, our protective mantle, but it is also our connection to the external world and renews itself day after day over the course of months.
Cell turnover, which normally occurs every 21 days, decreases to up to 28 days with age, smoking, environmental stress, and poor nutrition, slowing down the replacement of new cells, resulting in increasingly dull, dry, fragile, and thin skin.
The enzymatic action of peeling enhances and accelerates natural cell turnover, improving the skin's appearance.
Did you know that the first peels date back to ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Babylonians, prepared by mixing powders of flowers, plants, and vegetable substances?

Our innovative organic enzymatic facial cleansing peel is ideal for a professional and delicate yet non-invasive cleansing of facial skin, based on natural and plant-based raw materials without chemicals.

Unique in its kind, as a pharmacist and formulator, I have always sought mechanical and enzymatic action in a single product: this is how I formulated and created the cleansing peel.

Facial cleansing peel: exfoliating and sebo-keratolytic action

Active ingredients and their functions

Mandelic acid, rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and minerals, breaks down dead skin cells at the superficial level with an exfoliating action, stimulating and accelerating the production of new cells, rejuvenating and regenerating the complexion.

Apricot kernel granules, a fine powder obtained from grinding the kernel, detach dead cells, freeing skin pores, making the skin more receptive to better absorption of treatments.

Bacillus ferment is a delicate biotechnological alternative to alpha-hydroxy acids; it performs an enzymatic action that eliminates dead cells, promoting cell turnover, making the skin surface smoother and more even, and facilitating the absorption of treatment creams. This entirely natural enzymatic exfoliation, by digesting corneal cells, removes all excess epidermal material, thins the stratum corneum, giving compactness, uniformity, and luminosity to the tissues, and combats problems deriving from oily skin, impure skin, blackheads, and pimples.

Facial exfoliant with regenerating and moisturizing action

Omega 3 and omega 6 hydrate and regenerate the skin, giving the face a brighter appearance, acting as good allies for the skin. They are contained in Klamath microalgae, along with beta-carotene and B vitamins, characterized by their natural anti-oxidant action.
Calendula oil is an excellent emollient that restores the protective hydrolipidic mantle of our skin.

Your facial beauty routine

I've designed a small alkemy organic facial cleansing peel ritual for you.
Apply small amounts of the product to all areas of the dry or slightly dampened face, neck, and décolleté, gently massaging with circular movements to enhance the action of the enzymes. Avoid the eye contour area where the skin is much more sensitive and delicate, although it can also be used on this area.
Leave the product on according to your skin type. Remove by rinsing very gently with slightly lukewarm water or with a damp sponge.
Pat your face dry.
Slight redness and tingling are due to the normal activity of the product; avoid after a hot shower when pores are very dilated. For best results, use 1 or 2 times a week, preferably in the evening. Then proceed with your daily moisturizing treatments.

The result? Brighter, cleaner, more even, and fresher facial skin.
