Papaya fruit extract comes from the papaya fruit, which naturally contains the enzyme papain. The extract is used in products that gently exfoliate, leaving skin feeling smooth and giving it a glow. What the product does for the skin and how gentle it is depends on the formulation as a whole, so check the description of each product.
Use your papaya skincare as directed on the product, and moisturise afterwards. If you have sensitive skin, start by using it less often. Skin can become more sensitive to the sun when you exfoliate, so use sunscreen during the day. A few quiet minutes with your skincare routine in the evening can become a little ritual.
On each product, you can see whether it is fragrance-free, dermatologically tested or AllergyCertified. If you are not happy with your purchase, you are covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
