Aravia Enzyme Wash Powder
I've tried a bunch of wash powders, but this one's a total game-changer. It's super gentle, really effective, and perfect for daily use - even if you've got skin that's super sensitive. The enzyme-based formula does a great job breaking down dirt and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. I've used it on some tough messes and it's come out on top every single time, no problem.

Underwhelming Experience with this Enzyme Powder - But My Skin's Not Drying Out Like Its Sister Product
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've been on a mission to find the perfect enzyme powder, and for some reason, I kept trying with this brand's line, even though I wasn't a fan of their previous product. I recently gave this one a shot, and while it's not a total game changer, it's got some redeeming qualities. The biggest surprise is that it's not drying out my skin like its sister product did. I've been using it for a week now, and I'm starting to see some decent results. But don't get me wrong, it's not without its flaws. I'm still trying to figure out if it's worth the hype or not. One thing I do appreciate is the solid build quality - it feels like it's built to last. I've also been impressed with the convenience of the packaging, which makes it easy to use on the go. However, I do wish the enzyme powder was a bit more effective at deep cleansing, as it's not quite living up to my expectations in that department. Overall, I'd say this enzyme powder is a decent addition to my skincare routine, but it's not a must-have by any means.

I've been on a mission to find the perfect enzyme powder, and for some reason, I kept trying with this brand's line, even though I wasn't a fan of their previous product.
About the product:
This is an airy, finely ground powder designed for the first step of a cosmetic procedure. When mixed with water, it foams up into a soft, gentle cleanser that deep cleans pores, removes makeup residue, and exfoliates dead skin cells. The papaya enzyme, derived from milk sap, gently exfoliates and smooths the skin. It reduces puffiness, gives a smooth, porcelain-like complexion, and leaves the skin feeling soft and silky. It's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Action:
Deeply cleansesExfoliatesEvens out skin toneIngredients:
Active ingredients: papain, kaolin.
Product composition (INCI): Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Papain, Kaolin, Maltodextrin, Parfum.
The packaging is standard for this brand - a 150ml bottle.
The dosing disk is a bit of a pet peeve of mine - it's a disk with a hole that opens when you press it. The dosing disk is also covered with a large cap. Price varies a lot across different platforms. I bought it on the official website for 650 rubles.
Texture of the powder is a mix of small and large grains. The majority of it is finely ground, but there are some larger grains.
Scent is like your classic kids' soap.
Usage:
Purpose: for all skin types, including sensitive skin, on the first step of a cosmetic procedure.
Usage recommendations:
Professional care: first step of a cosmetic procedure - skin cleansing.
Home care: as a daily treatment for oily skin, 1-3 times a week for all skin types.
For professional use only. Take a small amount of powder and mix it with water in your hand. Massage it onto your skin and rinse with water.
I've actually expanded the scope of use for this type of product, thanks to all the blogger recommendations. I've been using the enzyme powder 1-2 times a week on my face and once a week on my body. I mix a small amount of the product with my hands or a brush and work it into the areas I need to clean. I make sure to rinse thoroughly and occasionally use masks and creams. My skin is super clean, but my nose pores are still a bit clogged. It's cleaner than the same product from ARAVIA with vitamin C, though, and my skin isn't as dry. That's a win! I've also seen a reduction in hyperkeratosis and ingrown hairs on my body.
I've started using the enzyme powder to clean my scalp, too. I mix the product in my hands and work it into my scalp, being careful not to touch my hair. Then I rinse with shampoo like normal. My scalp feels fresher and cleaner, and the water running off is a weird grey color - like I haven't washed my hair in months! My hair also looks healthier.
I usually use sugaring to get rid of excess hair, but when I'm short on time, I'll resort to shaving. But it turns out you can use the enzyme powder for that, too. It works pretty well.
Overall Experience:
I've been using this enzyme powder for a while now, and I have to say that it's been a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's been great for deep cleaning my skin and exfoliating dead skin cells. It's also been really effective at reducing puffiness and giving me a smooth, porcelain-like complexion. And the best part is that it's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
On the other hand, I've noticed that it can dry out my skin a bit, especially if I use it too frequently. And while it's been great at reducing hyperkeratosis and ingrown hairs on my body, it hasn't been as effective at getting rid of blackheads and enlarged pores.
Super clean skin;Non-irritating formula;No new breakouts or irritation.Cons:
Blackheads, enlarged pores, pigmentation, ingrown hairs, and hyperkeratosis are still a thing;It can dry out your skin a bit.I've tried using this enzyme powder in conjunction with other products from ARAVIA, and I have to say that it's been a game-changer. I've been using it with their Glow-C Enzyme Powder, AHA & BHA cleansing gel, and their product with mucin and green tea. It's been really effective at deep cleaning my skin and exfoliating dead skin cells, and it's also helped to reduce puffiness and give me a smooth, porcelain-like complexion.
Overall, I would recommend this enzyme powder to anyone looking for a deep cleaning and exfoliating product that's suitable for all skin types. Just be sure to use it in moderation and follow the usage recommendations to avoid any dryness or irritation.
