Lamelle Correctives Cathepzyme 1

Many exfoliants rely on acids or grains that can leave delicate skin tight and pink. Correctives Cathepzyme 1 takes a quieter route: a patented enzyme ingredient that nudges the skin's own renewal cycle along, so dead cells are released more readily and the surface looks smoother, softer and brighter, with no harm to the barrier.

A gentle introduction

This is the entry point to enzymatic exfoliation, intended for sensitive complexions and for anyone trying the approach for the first time. It helps refine uneven texture and soften fine lines, and Lamelle reports measurable gains with continued use: moisture levels up to 39% higher and skin firmness improved by 35% over time. For a calm, even-looking complexion without the drama of a strong acid, it is a considered starting place.

Once skin is comfortable with it, the natural progression is Cathepzyme 2, which carries a higher concentration of Cathepsin D and is aimed at more resilient skin. Some people stay with Cathepzyme 1 long term, and that is perfectly reasonable.

Fitting it in

Amanda will advise how often to use it in your routine. It works well beside a hydrating serum such as Correctives HA+, or with the Vita-C Lipid Serum where sensitivity rules out ascorbic acid. For clients who come in for signature facials, it is a gentle way to keep the skin refined at home between visits.
