What’s inside
Every active, and what it is doing there.
The number on the bottle is a position on a scale. This is what sits behind it.
-
ACTIVE
Pumpkin enzyme
A fruit enzyme used to loosen surface debris without an acid.
-
ACTIVE
Papain
A papaya enzyme used for enzymatic resurfacing.
-
SUPPORTING
Mandelic acid
A large-molecule AHA. The size is the point: it works more slowly and more gently than glycolic.
-
SUPPORTING
Bisabolol
A chamomile-derived ingredient used to keep a resurfacing formula calm.
-
SUPPORTING
Polyhydroxy acid 4.0%
The largest of the common acids, used for gentle surface resurfacing.
These are the actives and the supporting ingredients we formulate around. The complete INCI list is being added to every product page.

5.0
Weekly glow with no recovery day is exactly what happens
No stinging, no flaking on Monday, just brighter skin. I have thrown out my acid peel.
4.0
Really good. It has a faint pumpkin smell which I like and my partner does not, so be warned.
5.0
Once a week since March
Pores look smaller, tone is more even.
4.0
Very good value given how little you use each time
Should last the best part of a year.
5.0
Ten minutes, rinses off clean, texture noticeably smoother
Enzymes over acids was the right call for my skin.
5.0
Sensitive skin and this is the first resurfacing thing I have ever tolerated.

Questions
Frequently asked
Common questions about the enzyme mask
What does the colour on the bottle mean?
It is the dose. Every product floods one of five steps of the same blue: the palest is the cleansers, where water does the work, and full-strength cupric is reserved for the four copper products. A product cannot change band because of a season or a repackage.
Why is copper limited to four products?
Because a flagship that can be extended forever is not a flagship. GHK-Cu at full dose is the most expensive thing we make and it stays on the face, in four products. If we launch a fifth copper SKU, we will have changed our minds in public rather than quietly.
Do you publish the percentages?
On every product, in the first chapter of the page, before any claim is made about it. Where a formula is a blend rather than a single active, the page shows the blend instead of inventing a headline number.
How do I know what not to layer?
It is printed in the how-to-use block on each product, not buried in an FAQ. The short version: copper peptides and direct acids do not go on together, and a retinal night is followed by SPF in the morning.
Where do I start?
The copper protocol — the blue serum, the barrier cream and the daily spf. Treat, repair-adjacent support, and protection, which is the whole argument of the system in three steps.
Before you buy
The number is a position, not a grade.
Every active at the percentage it is used at, and what not to layer it with — stated before any claim is made about it.
