Description
Exfoliating mask with cranberry enzymes and lactic acid
A dull complexion, blackheads, and uneven skin texture result from a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface. A daily cleanser removes some of them, but for a true reset, the skin needs a stronger exfoliating moment. A mask with enzymes offers an ideal solution: instead of scrubbing, enzymes dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells and reveal the healthy, fresh layer underneath.
Cosmedix Pure Enzymes is a weekly exfoliating mask that combines cranberry enzymes with L-lactic acid and a rich antioxidant complex. The pink, serum-like texture sits comfortably on the skin and only needs three to ten minutes to visibly smooth, brighten, and illuminate the complexion. A treat step that works excellently as a weekly boost or as preparation for a special occasion.
Benefits
- Exfoliates dead skin cells with enzymes and L-lactic acid
- Makes the complexion visibly smoother and more radiant in 3 to 10 minutes
- Refines the appearance of pores and impurities
- Protects the skin with antioxidants such as glutathione
- Suitable for all skin types as a weekly treatment
Active ingredients
Cranberry enzymes: Natural fruit enzymes from Vaccinium Macrocarpon that remove dead skin cells in a physiologically gentle way. Unlike scrub particles, enzymes selectively break down the bonds between skin cells without mechanically stressing the skin barrier — a more scientific form of exfoliation.
L-lactic acid: An alpha hydroxy acid that enhances the exfoliating effect of the enzymes and helps the skin retain moisture better. The L-form is chirally correct and therefore well recognized by the skin, ensuring efficient action with less chance of irritation.
L-glutathione: One of the most powerful antioxidants found in the skin, with a specific effect on pigment regulation. Helps reduce the visibility of pigmentation spots and dull discolorations while protecting the skin from oxidative damage.
Superoxide Dismutase (SOD): An enzyme that is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants. Protects the skin against free radicals generated during the exfoliation process and helps support healthy cell activity.
D-gluconic acid: A polyhydroxy acid that hydrates the skin and softens the effect of the other acids. Ensures the skin feels smooth and plump after the mask instead of tight or dry.
Cranberry fruit pulp: Real pieces of cranberry are visible in the mask and give it its characteristic pink color. Besides the visual effect, they provide polyphenols and vitamins that nourish the skin during the treatment.
Botanical recovery complex: Neem, turmeric, moringa, and aloe vera support the soothing and restorative profile of the mask. They help calm the skin after exfoliation and contribute to an even, relaxed appearance.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Pure Enzymes on sensitive skin?
With sensitive skin, caution is advised. Start with a contact time of only 3 minutes and gradually build up to a maximum of 10 minutes. Test first on a small area on the neck. A slight pink tint after rinsing is normal and will disappear on its own; persistent irritation or burning is a sign to shorten the contact time or reduce the frequency.
How often per week can I use Pure Enzymes?
Maximum twice a week. For most skin types, once a week is enough for a visible refresh of the complexion. Do not combine on the same day with other exfoliants such as a glycolic acid toner or retinol to avoid over-treatment.
Why use only in the evening and not in the morning?
The combination of enzymes and lactic acid temporarily makes the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. By using it in the evening, the skin has the night to fully recover, and there is enough time the next morning to apply good sun protection before exposure to daylight.
What is the difference between Pure Enzymes and Refine Plus?
Pure Enzymes is a weekly mask with enzymes and L-lactic acid — milder and more versatile. Refine Plus is a highly concentrated refinishing peel with stronger acids, intended for periodic intensive treatment. Many users combine both: Pure Enzymes for weekly maintenance, Refine Plus monthly as a reset.
Can I use this mask during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Pure Enzymes contains no retinoids or salicylic acid, which removes most common concerns during pregnancy. When in doubt, always consult with your midwife or skin therapist first — especially because personal sensitivities can change during this period.
