What COSRX Says

Product Description:

The Cosrx Low Ph Goodnight Soft Peeling Gel is a mild, daily use exfoliating gel that removes dead skin buildup and unclogs pores. Its extremely gentle formula minimises irritation and is safe for sensitive skin to use. It uses Rose Water to soothe and hydrate skin while other key ingredients exfoliate. The Peeling Gel uses Lactobionic Acid (a mild PHA) and Papain to remove dead skin and clears pores. It also uses 8% Cellulose which further eliminates the impurities that are broken down by the PHA. The gel also maintains skin health with Niacinamide and Lactobacillus Ferment. The Niacinamide helps brighte the skin and provides antioxidants to nourish it. The ferment helps keep skin moisturised and strengthens the skin barrier to improve overall skin condition.

Ingredients Details

Papain

Common Name(s): Carica papaya enzyme,papaya protease

CAS Number: 9001-73-4

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Gently digests dead keratin proteins for enzymatic exfoliation without acid irritation.

Why It's Used: Gentle enzymatic exfoliant for acid-sensitive skin types requiring exfoliation without ph-dependent aha/bha irritation.

How It Works: Cysteine protease specifically cleaves peptide bonds in keratin proteins at neutral ph, dissolving corneocyte protein bridges without requiring acidic ph. activity is ph- and temperature-dependent (optimal ph 6.5, 37ยฐc). also gently solubilizes sebum plugs.

Typically Found In: Enzyme peels,gentle exfoliants,sensitive skin exfoliants,brightening masks

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient โ€“ enzyme

Secondary Functions: Protein-specific exfoliation,neutral-ph keratolysis

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ€“10% (active enzyme)

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Yes โ€“ from carica papaya latex

Halal Status: Yes

Source Notes: Plant-derived (papaya, pineapple) or fermentation-derived.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 2/5 โ€“ low to moderate; potential sensitization with repeated exposure

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ€“ non-comedogenic

Sensitivity Concerns: Patch test recommended; potential for enzymatic sensitization.

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution โ€“ potential sensitization

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Latex allergy cross-reactivity possible. avoid high concentrations on compromised skin.

Works Well With: Ahas (synergistic),hyaluronic acid,ceramides

Avoid Combining With: High concentrations on sensitive or compromised skin

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Papain's specificity for peptide bonds at hydrophobic residues (leu, phe, val) in keratin provides preferential digestion of the abundant hydrophobic corneocyte proteins, causing selective dissolution of corneocyte protein bridges without disrupting the non-protein lipid matrix of the stratum corneum.
