The Enzyme Ladder + Water Buffer: Polish Smarter, Not Harder (PH Edition)
Scrubs feel satisfying—until you’re red, shiny, and still congested. In humid Philippine weather (plus the dehydrating blast of office AC), the way to smoother texture isn’t more grit; it’s smarter timing with enzymes and immediate water‑buffering. This “enzyme ladder” starts gentle, steps up only when calm, and always ends with layered hydration so pores look smaller and makeup sits smoother without the tight‑then‑greasy backlash.
Why enzymes (and not daily acids)?
- They dissolve the “glue” between dead cells and loosen keratin plugs without sandpaper friction.
- Used 1–3×/week, they refine texture while keeping the barrier cooperative.
- They pair perfectly with water lotions that lock elasticity back into the stratum corneum.
Rung 1 — Ultra‑Gentle Polish (1×/week to start)
Begin with the most forgiving option: SUISAI Clear Pink Powder N Wash 15 Packs. Tear one capsule, foam in wet hands, massage ~45 seconds over damp skin (nose, cheeks beside the nose, chin), then rinse cool. Because SUISAI Clear Pink Powder N Wash 15 Packs is pre‑measured, you don’t “over‑pour” on sensitive weeks, and the texture stays bead‑free—ideal for first‑timers and combo skin.

Rung 2 — Step‑Up Session (2nd enzyme night; keep contact short)
Once skin stays calm on Rung 1, add a second enzyme night using CURE Special Powder Soap 35 Packets. Lather one packet, glide for 30–45 seconds, and rinse. The bead‑free polish of CURE Special Powder Soap 35 Packets keeps comfort high while nudging stubborn roughness. It’s a smart “step‑up” for sensitive, combination, and “office‑gray” skin.

Non‑Negotiable — Water Buffer Within 60 Seconds (every enzyme night)
Immediately after rinsing (while skin is still slightly damp), pat on 2–3 layers of NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Lotion 500ml over face, neck, and chest. The water‑rich formula of NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Lotion 500ml keeps the stratum corneum elastic so pores appear smaller and oil rebounds less under AC. Press, don’t rub; wait ~60–90 seconds before any follow‑up gel or moisturizer.

Two‑Week Enzyme Ladder (PH‑Smart)
- Week 1: Tue — SUISAI Clear Pink Powder N Wash 15 Packs → layers of NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Lotion 500ml. Fri — repeat SUISAI Clear Pink Powder N Wash 15 Packs if calm.
- Week 2: Tue — SUISAI Clear Pink Powder N Wash 15 Packs. Fri — step up with CURE Special Powder Soap 35 Packets → water buffer.
Rotation by Skin Type
- Oily/congested: 2 enzyme nights per week (Rung 1 then Rung 2); keep contact under 60 seconds; always end with NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Lotion 500ml.
- Sensitive/reactive: 1 enzyme night (Rung 1) weekly for two weeks; if calm, add a second night with CURE Special Powder Soap 35 Packets.
- Combination: Alternate both enzymes, but keep T‑zone focus and shorten cheek contact.
Do/Don’t with Enzymes (PH Conditions)
- Do use cool water and short contact; enzymes don’t need scrubbing pressure.
- Don’t stack strong acids or retinoids on enzyme nights; alternate to protect the barrier.
- Do re‑mist and press extra NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Lotion 500ml if you sit under aggressive AC.
- Don’t skip sunscreen the next morning—newly polished skin demands protection.
Troubleshooting
- Stinging or sudden redness: Drop to one enzyme night for two weeks; keep the water buffer heavy.
- Persistent blackheads: Improve technique (folds of the nose, under the lower lip) rather than adding days.
- Makeup pilling: Let each water layer set 60–90 seconds before gel/cream.
Polish smarter, not harder: start gently with SUISAI Clear Pink Powder N Wash 15 Packs, step up with CURE Special Powder Soap 35 Packets, and always lock elasticity back with NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Lotion 500ml.
