Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation due to papain and salicylic acid, which smooth texture but are not ideal for your dry or flaky skin as salicylic acid can be drying.
- While the formula is free of harsh ingredients and generally safe for your dry skin, its primary exfoliating function offers limited benefits and may exacerbate dryness.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your dry skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- You can use the enzyme powder exfoliant PM as part of your weekly routine. Start 1x per week and increase slowly if your skin feels good.
- Use it after your cleanser and before your hydrating toner and moisturizer.
- Mix a small amount of the enzyme powder exfoliant with a few drops of water in your hands to create a soft foam. Gently massage it onto your face without rubbing hard.
- Apply the enzyme powder exfoliant on slightly damp skin to help it work smoothly. This helps remove dry and flaky areas safely.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers
Why is Peach & Lily Glass Skin Face Polisher a weak match for dry skin?
This exfoliant is a weak match because its salicylic acid and papain can smooth texture but may also dry out dry skin. A product of this type needs hydrating and soothing ingredients that support the skin barrier while cleansing and exfoliating gently.
Which ingredients make this exfoliant a poor fit for dry skin?
Papain and salicylic acid make this exfoliant a weak match for your dry skin because they provide moderate exfoliation that may increase dryness and flakiness. A better exfoliating product for dry skin needs gentle exfoliating ingredients combined with effective hydrating and soothing components to keep the skin comfortable.
What does Rice Powder do for dry skin?
Rice powder helps soothe dry skin by improving skin barrier function and adding moisture. It may also help smooth out rough patches and calm irritation.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2002
What does Papain do for dry skin?
Papain helps exfoliate dry skin by breaking down dead surface cells, but it may cause irritation if the skin barrier is already compromised. Products for dry skin need gentle exfoliating enzymes paired with rich moisturizers and barrier-repairing ingredients to keep the skin smooth and comfortable.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2015Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022
Where does this exfoliant go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
Exfoliating steps like this enzyme powder fit into a dry skin routine once a week, but this product may exacerbate dryness because salicylic acid can be drying. Dry skin needs a gentle, hydrating exfoliator with soothing and moisturizing ingredients to smooth texture without causing dryness.
Can I use this exfoliant with retinol, and in what order?
This exfoliant is a weak match for your dry skin because salicylic acid and papain can make dryness worse, so combining it with retinol may cause too much irritation. To care for dry skin properly, an exfoliant of this type needs gentle nourishing and hydrating ingredients like glycerin and plant extracts to keep skin soft and smooth.
How often should I use this exfoliant?
Start by using this exfoliant once a week, as it may dry out your dry skin. This type of skin needs a gentle product with hydrating ingredients and soothing plant extracts rather than strong exfoliating acids.
Can this exfoliant clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This exfoliant is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on dry skin since it has an excellent safety profile with no harsh ingredients. However, its exfoliating ingredients may occasionally lead to irritation or worsen flakiness for dry skin types.
Is this exfoliant fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
