Take the skin testExperience smoother, more refined skin with ma:nyo Galactomy Enzyme Peeling Gel, a gentle exfoliating gel that lifts away dead skin cells. A quick massage helps sweep away that rough, dull feeling, leaving your complexion soft, fresh, and comfortably hydrated. Papain and Gluconolactone help exfoliate buildup, while Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and multiple forms of Hyaluronic Acid help keep skin feeling hydrated and smooth. The lightweight gel fits easily into your routine whenever your skin could use a gentle refresh.
Galactomy Enzyme Peeling Gel is a lightweight exfoliator from ma:nyo. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 31 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. A few ingredients carry irritation flags, so reactive skin should patch test before using it on the whole face.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
Use it in the evening. In a routine it goes after cleansing, before serums. Start at once or twice a week and build up only if skin stays comfortable. Wear sunscreen the next morning — fresh exfoliation raises UV sensitivity.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
