No. Manual or chemical exfoliation only removes dead skin cells on the outermost layer of the skin. LYMA Skincare's formula is powered by our breakthrough Genolytic™️ Technology which selectively targets senescent cells. As the skin ages, senescent cells accumulate and contribute to age-related skin changes. By removing these 'zombie' cells, LYMA Skincare clears the way for new active cells to deliver a significantly more youthful looking skin.
