Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits

Throughout our life our skin follows a normal process of shedding and restoring skin cells on a daily basis. In our younger years this process is highly effective and results in our skin looking and feeling smooth, moist and youthful. However as we age this process tends to slow down by 30 – 40% due to the reduction in an essential skin enzyme called Cathepsin D. This directly results in dull, dry skin that has fine lines and a rough texture.

Traditional exfoliation might not be the answer as many of the exfoliation ingredients might injure skin or exfoliate the skin unevenly without stimulating the skin to make new skin cells. In many cases they affect the barrier function of the skin and will allow increased water loss (Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL)) and sun sensitivity. In the case of these products it becomes essential to immediately apply hydrating serums and masks after exfoliating to balance the damage done by the exfoliator.

In Correctives Cathepzyme 1 and 2 the active ingredient is an enzyme that works the same way that the natural enzyme in the top layer of your skin works. This enzyme, Cathepsin D, will only exfoliate the top, dry layer of your skin. It gives a smooth even exfoliation, activates the lower layers of the skin and does not cause increased water loss (TEWL). In a trail the products was used two to three time per week for 3 months the people using it reported 50% improvement in wrinkles. 39% improvement in moisture levels of the skin and 35% increase in firmness of the skin.

Cathepzyme 2 can also be used for the treatment of Keratosis Pilaris on the body. Keratosis Pilaris is a condition where there is over production of keratin by the skin and this results in a fine, rough and very dry rash on the tops of arms and sometimes thighs and buttocks. In this case the Cathepzyme 2 is used.

Key Ingredients

Key Ingredients

  • Cathepsin D analogue, soothing Camomile, Aloe Vera, Panthenol, Phytic acid for moisture and to stop irritation
  • Cathepzyme 2 has a higher concentration of the active enzyme than Cathepzyme 1 this makes is the stronger alternative (even though both are very safe on all skins)
  • Cathepzyme 1 is designed for sensitive skin and skin that has not been exposed to exfoliation before
  • Cathepzyme 2 is for skin that is not sensitive or has been exposed to another exfoliation routine or to peels.
  • If you are uncertain your therapist will suggest using one bottle of Cathepzyme 1 before starting on Cathepzyme 2 just to make sure your skin can manage exfoliation routines.

    I was extremely surprised at how well this exfoliator works. I have a very sensitive skin and I was a little bit hesitant, but it doesn’t irritate my skin at all and leaves it so soft and bright.

  2. Andrea (verified owner)

    Amazing product! It is gentle on the skin and leaves your face feeling smooth! Definitely a favourite!

  3. Marni (verified owner)

    I really love this exfoliator! I like the fact that it does not burn my skin and my skin felt smooth and looked radiant immediately after I used it. I LOVE Lamelle’s products. It is affordable and really works!

  4. Natalie

    As I’ve been using this exfoliator for a long time, I use it as an overnight masque and wake up with my skin looking and feeling noticeably smoother and more clear. I prefer a chemical exfoliator over physical, and this is one of my favourites.

  5. Kirsten (verified owner)

    Another gem from this range! Such an effective yet gentle exfoliator – I leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes, and results are instant! I use it two to three times a week and it’s made such a difference to the overall appearance and complexion of my skin :)

  6. Sameera (verified owner)

    This exfoliator is AMAZING!
    Leaves my face feeling extremely soft after use.

  7. Robyn (verified owner)

    This enzyme exfoliator is fantastic! I used this on my back to treat post-inflammation pigmentation and minor breakouts and saw a drastic improvement after 3 weeks of using the exfoliator. I am on my third tube and will continue buying this due to the amazing results achieved from it!

  8. Larina (verified owner)

    A very gentle exfoliator which is so quick and easy to use! Leaves my skin feeling noticeably smoother after use
