What is the link between skincare and enzymes? Enzymes participate in specific reactions and regulate four particularly important biological functions that contribute to skin radiance: epidermal regeneration, hydration, the shedding of dead skin cells and skin pigmentation.
The inherent link between enzymes and skin quality led L'Oréal Research & Innovation to study this field, which it has been working on for over 30 years, and to discover new epidermal enzymes, resulting in 13 patents and 113 international publications. These discoveries have most notably been included in the formula of Clarifique Refining Enzymatic Dual Essence by Lancôme, a lightweight toner designed to unify skin tone, revive radiance, and tighten pores. And the innovation doesn't stop there: Clarifique's bi-phase formula was specially designed with a whisk attached to the bottle cap to blend the two phases more effectively and quickly just before use. The design generates thousands of micro-bubbles to ensure the product penetrates deeper into the epidermis for enhanced effectiveness.
