Alba Botanica Papaya Enzyme Facial Mask (Rs 855 for 85 g) available at PurplleI love to try new face masks and always wanted to try enzyme masks as they are great for dull skin. Freeman has an enzyme mask but I wanted to get something that’s free of chemicals so decided to pick Alba Botanica Papaya Enzyme Facial Mask from Jabong.com (Its no longer available there).
A bit about the product –

The Product-
Alba Botanica Papaya Enzyme Facial Mask comes in a translucent gel form. It has no smell and is light green in color. I take twice a pea size amount and apply on face after cleansing. I skip scrubbing before using this mask since enzymes dissolve any dead flaky skin on the surface. I keep it on for 15 minutes and wash it off using lukewarm water. My skin looks fresh and smooth instantly. I feel tingling sensation everytime initially after application but thats very mild. Skin doesn’t feel dry after using it.My Experience
This is the first enzyme mask I have ever tried and I am totally loving this stuff. I use it twice a week and it immediately removes any dullness or dry patches from my face. I tried using it after exfoliating my face and that caused tiny red bumps around my nose. Enzymes in the mask work almost like an exfoliator by dissolving dead cells so there is no need of using a scrub separately as that might irritate your skin (if its very sensitive) by overdoing the entire process.
One doesn’t need a lot of product so this tub would last me atleast 3-4 months.
I would not recommend using this product along with any other peeling products (any at home peels) as that might cause irritation or redness. Formula is safe to use otherwise and hasn’t caused any irritation or breakout (I have very sensitive acne prone skin)
Overall Thoughts
If you are looking for a mask that can work more than a regular mask, try Alba Botanica Papaya Enzyme Facial Mask. It gently removes dead cells, flakiness/ dry patches and dullness from the skin. Using it twice a week is more than enough. Only downside is availability. Initially I used to see Alba Botanica on lots of online shopping sites now its only available on Purplle or snapdeal.
