Papain is an enzyme found naturally in the papaya plant's leaves, fruit, and roots. It has antimicrobial, soothing, and wound healing properties.
Glycine and Vitamin A are naturally found in papain.
While papain is often touted as skin-lightening, further studies are needed to prove this. However, papain has been shown to help soothe acne-inflammation.
Papain belongs to a class of enzymes called proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes break down peptides and amino acids.
Some studies found papain to be a potential skin sensitizer and allergen. Those with latex allergies might also be allergic to papaya.

Not very effective. It's the product that's pilling together, not actually removing dead skin.
I love this stuff. My face feels like a pound of dead skin has come off. I will say there may be a better one out there. I used to use one my Philosophy that I loved but it is way more expensive. This one is great for the price.
