Product Information

Which means you may need to use this mask 2-3 times per week (for several weeks in a row) to get your ideal results. If you prefer a more natural/organic-based product then the pumpkin mask from Eminence may be a better option for you. Drmtlgy is a great skincare brand that sells a wide range of skincare products. Their main focus is on acne and anti-aging skincare, but most of their products will work for any skin type or skin concern. Bottom Line: The oil-free, fragrance-free formula feels silky yet lightweight and protects against UVA and UVB rays, as well as infrared radiation, but keep in mind the potential health issues associated with octinoxate. DRMTLGY Tinted Sunscreen Yes, enzyme masks can be great for acne as they gently exfoliate the surface layer and reduce inflammation, especially for those just stepping into the skin care world and have not incorporated acids into their regimen. However, do not use the mask on active acne as it may cause irritation.

Plus, the formula includes moisture-magnets like panthenol (provitamin B5) and sodium hyaluronate to help draw moisture into the skin. If you’ve never heard of enzymes before, they’re basically a gentle chemical exfoliant. Enzymes are often derived from different fruits, like pumpkin enzymes, papaya enzymes and pineapple enzymes. Enzymes have been shown to provide gentle exfoliation comparable to AHA’s like glycolic or lactic acid.Here, we've rounded up 16 of the best pumpkin-infused skin-care products to try out this year. Call them anything but basic. Retinoic acid works deep within the skin where it boosts collagen synthesis, increases elasticity, and repairs connective tissue, thereby reducing signs of aging (like fine lines and wrinkles) The formula contains many of the same key ingredients as the other DRMTLGY products we’ve discussed so far, including ceramides, peptides, shea butter, vitamin E, and botanical extracts.

Talc – often used in makeup products to help control oil production, talc helps to absorb excess oils and balance oily or combination skinWhen you place an enzyme on your skin it acts to digest dead skin cells on the surface of your skin or epidermis. Matrikines are peptides that regulate cell activities through cell signaling. The two matrikines in Matrixyl 3000 work synergistically to restore and maintain the skin’s youthful appearance by signaling to cells to produce more collagen. If you have very sensitive skin, you may experience redness and swelling. Also, avoid applying an enzyme mask on cuts, burns, or acne pustules. It may aggravate the pain and inflammation. Others mention side effects from this serum, for example, “I wanted to like this but it caused my skin to become extremely rough and dry even when applying to moist skin and using a moisturizer.” Our Verdict

Bottom Line: A self-warming mask that uses pumpkin, kaolin clay, and jojoba beads to cleanse and gently exfoliate skin. DRMTLGY Vitamin C5Bottom Line: DRMTLGY Vitamin C5 uses five types of vitamin C to neutralize the damage caused by free radicals, restore skin firmness, and brighten the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. By reducing the number of dead skin cells you can leave your face feeling refreshed and sharp as you remove the dullness provided by dead skin cells. If you have mature or damaged skin then a lemon zest enzyme may be ideal. If you have sensitive skin then a papaya enzyme may be ideal and so on. I plan to create a fruit enzyme guide in the future so be on the lookout for that! Conclusion One example is phytonadione, commonly known as vitamin K, which is theorized to help reduce the appearance of dark circles. Here’s how: Vitamin K is required to produce prothrombin, a key factor involved in blood clotting, which is why vitamin K is thought to speed the healing of wounds and bruises. Applied to the skin, vitamin K may help to improve dark circles under the eyes in the same way it helps bruises to heal when taken internally. After absorption, all five vitamin C derivatives in this serum will be converted to ascorbic acid, the active form of vitamin C. Vitamin C functions as a potent antioxidant, meaning it can neutralize the damage caused by free radicals, thereby helping to prevent signs of aging.
