Hedox Clinic

HedoxSkin Exfoliating Enzyme Mask

Dr. Stephen Humble is a renowned Aesthetic Doctor who runs clinics in Harley Street and Twickenham and has created this range following his extensive experience in cosmeceuticals and skin assessments and identifying the need for products that deliver more results with fewer products. Your loved one will thank you for the new glow!

The HedoxSKIN Exfoliating Enzyme Mask has a unique, natural enzyme formula that dissolves the protein bond between dead and new skin cells, to deliver outstanding and immediate results. A carefully formulated combination of potent ingredients ensures the skin is exfoliated, whilst the skin barrier is protected and the skin nourished.  Ingredients include Wheat Grass Extract, Laracare, Aloe, Moringa Oil, Hyaluronic acid, Niacinamide, Calendula, Chamomile, and Vitamin E. The range of concentrated vitamins, provides powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and soothes the skin. The mask is 90% natural, and uses no harsh acids, abrasives, or microbeads, which can irritate the skin, but will leave your face brighter, reduce the appearance of the pores, increase cell turnover, and leave skin feeling clean, bright, and refreshed. 

The multi-benefit mask can be used at home, once or twice a week, and regular use will result in the following benefits:

• Increased radiance: Removal of dead skin cells by visibly brightening and illuminating the skin
• Refinement: Blocked pores are revealed and cleansed, reducing their size
• Resurfacing: The surface is left scrupulously clean, smoothed, and polished
• Lift: Skin is left with a pleasant, uplifting sensation
• Firming properties: Skin is left comfortably taut, hydrated, and invigorated
• Cell renewal: Active ingredients are proven to increase cell renewal for a fresh complexion
• Minimising: The appearance of scars and blemishes improves with regular use
