Our take
Is Maltodextrin (and) Lipase (And) Subtilisin a Good Ingredient?
It offers enzymatic exfoliation and degreasing, but activity depends on pH, temperature, and formula, so results can be inconsistent, which is why it lands at Fair. Enzymes may also irritate sensitive or compromised skin.
What it does

Found in rinse-off cleansers, exfoliating masks, and pre-shampoo treatments targeting congested or oily areas.
Before you use it
