paparecipe Blemish Enzyme Powder Cleanser

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-05

What is this product?

paparecipe's Blemish Enzyme Powder Cleanser is the enzyme powder that actually tells you the dose: 1,923ppm of papain, about 0.19 percent, the single amount on its 29-ingredient list, printed at position 23 with water down at 24 so the protease stays inert until you wet it. It is sold as a gentle daily wash rather than a peel, yet it exfoliates three ways at once, with milled walnut shell at 6 and rice powder at 7 doing physical work alongside gluconolactone at 18 and lactobionic acid at 20.

What makes it different?

Publishing a full 29-ingredient list with a number on the one active that matters, papain at 1,923ppm, is unusually specific for a 50g cleanser, and paparecipe still publishes no pH and no test method for it. Its only irritation-testing language is a single sentence with no method behind it in a 2019 trade article.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
