Pharmagel Enzyme Ex-Cell Papaya Face & Body Exfoliator, 6 oz — Gentle Enzyme + Micronized Walnut for Soothing Hydration

Pharmagel Enzyme Ex-Cell is a gentle papaya enzyme and walnut shell powder exfoliating scrub designed to refine texture and reveal softer, smoother skin without harsh abrasion.

This exfoliator pairs natural fruit enzymes with finely micronized physical exfoliants to lift away dead skin cells while supporting skin comfort. The formula includes soothing allantoin and antioxidant-rich sunflower oil to help hydrate and calm skin after exfoliation. Manufactured to pharmaceutical standards and triple-tested for low irritant potential, it’s engineered for everyday use on the face, body, and even to prep skin after shaving.

How does the papaya enzyme work compared to a regular scrub?

Papaya contains natural proteolytic enzymes that help break down the bonds holding surface skin cells together, allowing them to slough away more easily than mechanical action alone. Combined with micronized walnut shell powder, the blend delivers both enzymatic and physical exfoliation for a balanced result that minimizes over-scrubbing.

• Enzymes loosen dead skin cells enzymatically for gentler removal.
• Micronized walnut shell offers mild tactile polishing without large abrasive particles.
• Dual-action reduces the need for aggressive rubbing, lowering irritation risk.

Will this product dry out or irritate sensitive skin?

Formulated with calming allantoin and sunflower oil, the scrub is created to soothe and hydrate skin after exfoliation rather than strip it. Pharmagel emphasizes pharmaceutical-grade quality and triple testing to lower irritant potential, but individual sensitivity varies so patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin.

• Allantoin helps calm and support skin recovery after exfoliation.
• Sunflower oil supplies antioxidants and light moisturizing benefits.
• Triple-tested formulation aims to reduce common irritation triggers.

How should I use Pharmagel Enzyme Ex-Cell for best results?

Use the scrub on damp skin, massaging gently with circular motions, then rinse thoroughly. For facial use, limit to 1–3 times per week depending on skin tolerance; body application can be more frequent for rough areas. Avoid open wounds or actively inflamed acne and follow with your regular moisturizer or treatment.

• Apply to damp skin and massage gently; rinse well.
• Face: 1–3 times weekly; body: as needed on rough areas.
• Do not use on broken or severely inflamed skin; follow with moisturizer.

Can I use this after shaving or on areas with ingrown hairs?

The dual-action formula can help soften stubble and smooth rough skin after shaving, reducing the buildup of dead skin that contributes to ingrown hairs. Use gently and avoid aggressive scrubbing immediately over fresh nicks; regular, mindful exfoliation can improve grooming outcomes over time.

• After-shave use can help smooth skin and remove dead cells.
• Helps prep skin for closer grooming when used before shaving.
• Avoid use on fresh cuts or severe razor irritation.

Who is this for? Pharmagel Enzyme Ex-Cell is aimed at people seeking a refined yet gentle exfoliation: those with normal to dry or sensitive skin who want a milder approach than coarse scrubs, individuals looking to smooth rough patches on face or body, and anyone who prefers a dual enzymatic and physical exfoliant. It also suits users who value pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing and want a product formulated for low irritation potential. If you have highly reactive or compromised skin, perform a patch test or consult a skincare professional before routine use.
