In recent years, enzymes have gained attention in various fields, but what exactly is an enzyme face wash?

Enzymes include "digestive enzymes," "metabolic enzymes," and "food enzymes," each with various enzyme components. Among them, digestive enzymes called proteases, which break down proteins, are commonly used in enzyme face washes.

The surface layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, comprises multiple layers of keratin protein-based dead skin cells.
