Unbiased review of the Humanrace skincare line that was just released by Pharrell.
One month update: After 1 week, I tried the enzyme exfoliant again and experienced the same redness. So for the 3rd week, I used a gentle non-foaming cleanser (ceraVe hydrating cleanser) instead of the rice powder cleanser and followed that with the enzyme exfoliant. With this combination, I experienced no redness or irritation. The rice powder cleanser is a mild exfoliant and I think those two together were too much for my sensitive skin! Overall, I think the enzyme exfoliant is an amazing product but on the days you use it, go with a gentle non-exfoliating cleanser instead of the rice powder cleanser!
