Based on the negative reviews, I don't think people are using this product correctly. This product is amazing. This is meant for sensitive skin only, in place of vitamin a complex which is too harsh for sensitive skin. It has the same results, but over a longer period of time. If you don't have sensitive skin then yes by all means go for the vitamin a's and strong acids. It's a wonderful product for cell turnover that does not irritate my sensitive rosacea skin!

I used this serum for about a month. On the plus side, it didn't make my face break out or irritate the sensitive skin on my neck. It felt nice, and absorbed nicely under moisturizer. On the minus side, it doesn't seem to do much other than make my skin feel softer for a short while after applying. Really didn't see any improvement. I get much better results with other enzyme products (my favorite is the REN glycolactic peel). For a daily-use product, I prefer a stronger AHA product. Didn't much care for the scent--kind of like citrus that had started to turn. Would not repurchase.

I was so excited to get a large sample bottle of this and I so wanted to like it as I am a lover of all things enzyme but this one was a real dud. Nothing wrong with it other than it did absolutley nothing. Nothing. No thing. Even the mildest enzyme products that I have used in the past had some mild effect on my skin but with this I got absolutly nothing. I'm actually happy as this is very expensive and now I can go back to my much more reasonably priced options of Alba and Mychelle.

This is a very lightweight serum gel that contains papaya and bromelain extracts to gently exfoliate skin. It also contains aloe vera gel and milk thistle extract. It absorbs easily into the skin. I do not notice any difference to my skin while using this. It does not irritate or cause my combo skin to break out. I have used other papaya skin treatments and notice smoother skin. Better papaya treatments to look into are from Pevonia Botanica, Zia and Alba.

I only tried a sample of this and I really liked it. I applied it before I went to bed and woke up with nice glowing and supple skin. I had enough of the sample to use 4 or 5 times. When I noticed how youthful it made my skin look I made sure the times I used it I would use it for an event I had to go to the next day....made me feel like I had nice skin. I'm going to purchase it! Expensive but I think worth it.

I'm on my second bottle of this wonderful product. It makes my skin glow, and is an indispensable part of my Arcona regime. My skin is so much stronger and refined since I've been using these products, which, I must admit, takes a bit of getting used to, since it is so different from other skincare. My skin was dehydrated and oversensitive, and now I'm almost normal, with a more even skintone, and supersoft skin.

Arcona makes dome really nice products, especially the enzyme cleansing bars. But, this product didn't do much for me. I thought it would be more active than it was. Maybe I needed to try it for a longer time to get results, I don't know.
I wasn't wowed.
