This is the serum everybody is talking about. A night reset for your skin.
A serum that regenerates your skin cells deserves all of your attention, as it will be the key to even radiant skin. But why do you need gentle exfoliation? Read on to learn all about it
Why do my cells need regeneration?
Sounds strange? Well, it isn’t, in fact, our body has the capacity to renew most of its cells. This ensures their preservation and proper functioning. Almost all of our organs have cells that are capable of renewing themselves, in varying amounts of time. For example, red blood cells only live for about 120 days and the cells that line the stomach for a couple of weeks. Amazing right?
Therefore, we understand cell regeneration as the ability of cells to reproduce themselves and produce genetically identical cells that functionally and physiologically replace the original stem cells.
Now let’s get into business. Our skin (the most extensive organ in our body), takes approximately 28 days to regenerate. Want to know how? ( here is where it gets interesting).
Exfoliation encourages the cell regeneration process, removing dull surface cells. When the cell’s life cycle comes to an end, it sheds in the natural exfoliation process, also known as desquamation. When older surface cells shed, fresh cells rise to the surface to replace them. This process changes depending on your age (check the image).
We know you may be asking yourself, Do I really need to use an enzymatic exfoliant if my skin cells naturally exfoliate on their own?
Well, slow cell regeneration can lead to dull, dry skin with an uneven surface, as well as possible breakouts. That’s why incorporating a gentle enzymatic exfoliant helps to speed up the process encouraging new cells to resurface, providing smooth radiant skin.
1- WHAT IS A ENZYMATIC SERUM
An enzymatic serum contains enzymes, molecules found in nature, that help eliminate dead cells, as well as significantly improve cell renewal providing a radiant complexion in the morning. This is not a physical exfoliant, so it doesn't contain any type of grain. Its non-irritant action is what makes it an absolute winner.
But what do enzymes do on our skin?
They help break down the keratin protein in the upper layer of the skin, which is in charge of sticking dead skin cells together. So by helping dead skin cells slough off the skin we are left with a more radiant, softer and smooth complexion.
Benefits of using an enzymatic serum
- Softer, smoother and fresh-faced complexion
- Reduces excess sebum thanks to the plant-derived retinoids
- Reduces the appearance of expression lines

2- CAN I USE IT WITH OTHER PRODUCTS
The enzymatic serum is compatible with other skincare products, so you should simply include it last in your night routine. This serum, unlike others, not only exfoliates but also treats expression lines and maintains acne and redness at bay.
Is it necessary to use another facial exfoliant? We recommend not to apply any other type of exfoliating product since this enzymatic serum exfoliates the face in a healthy way.
3- Suitable for...
Another frequently asked question is whether this product is suitable for sensitive skin and pregnant women: "Is it suitable for sensitive/atopic skin? Is it suitable for pregnant women?
Absolutely yes. The Blue Radiance Enzymatic Serum is particularly suitable for sensitive skin as it is a natural, non-irritating alternative to acid exfoliants. It may cause a stinging sensation at first, but it shortly disappears. Also, it has a sticky minute, that goes away once the serum has been fully absorbed.

4- Mesmerising blue colour
Its colour really makes the product stand out, but... why it is blue? It's mainly due to an ingredient extracted by fermentation from the fruit of Gardenia Jasminoides. This ingredient acts as a natural pigment and gives the Blue Radiance Enzymatic Serum its characteristic blue colour. This ingredient is also characterised by its high antioxidant activity, fighting free radicals and providing benefits such as anti-ageing.
