Which product type is used to provide gentle exfoliation?

Chemical peels
Mechanical exfoliants
Enzyme-based products
Hydrating creams

The correct answer is: Enzyme-based products

Enzyme-based products are specifically designed to provide gentle exfoliation by utilizing natural enzymes to break down and dissolve dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. These enzymes, often derived from fruit like papaya and pineapple, work more delicately compared to other exfoliation methods, making them suitable for sensitive skin types or for clients who may be new to exfoliation. This gentle action helps to promote a smoother and brighter complexion without the potential for irritation that can accompany harsher physical or chemical exfoliants. As a result, enzyme-based exfoliation can be an excellent choice for maintaining skin health while minimizing the risk of redness or discomfort.
