Our review
A rinse-off enzyme peel with papain and bromelain in a simple glycerin gel – no scrubbing particles. It is one of the most-reviewed Polish face peels and is rated highly for smoother skin and fewer blackheads; occasional complaints concern tingling, the scent and the tube.

Packaging and what the product is
The quoted photo from tolpa.pl shows the 8 ml single-use sachet of the “tołpa. dermo face enzyme. peeling 3 enzymy”, decorated with papaya and pineapple and naming papain, bromelain and “keratolina”. The same peel is sold in a larger tube; the 8 ml sachet is essentially a trial size. It is a gel applied to clean skin, left on for a few minutes and rinsed off.
Ingredient analysis
The formula is short. After water and glycerin comes Papain, the protein-digesting enzyme from papaya, then Sodium Polyacrylate (thickener), Peat Extract and parfum, followed by Bromelain from pineapple and Bacillus Ferment – the third “enzyme” that the brand presents as keratolin. These enzymes loosen the bonds between dead surface cells, so the peel works without abrasive grains.
Xanthan gum adds body, glyceryl caprylate and triethyl citrate are skin-conditioning and deodorising helpers, and the product is preserved with potassium sorbate and benzoic acid plus caprylyl glycol and methylpropanediol. Sodium phytate is a chelator.
What to watch out for
Enzymes can cause redness or a burning feeling in some people, especially on broken or freshly treated skin; a patch test is sensible the first time. It contains parfum. Using it more often than the 1–2 times a week that reviewers typically mention, or on the same day as acids or retinoids, raises the risk of irritation. Papain and bromelain are proteins, so people with known sensitivity to them should avoid it.
What users say
The tube version on Wizaż averages 4.5/5 from 394 ratings; the 8 ml sachet page on tolpa.pl shows 93/100 from 6 ratings (both checked 30 Oct 2026). Reviewers most often praise smoother, softer skin, less visible blackheads and sebum, a pleasant scent and good value, and many say they repurchase. Several describe it as gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Less positive points: some feel tingling or burning, one sachet buyer found it too irritating, one Wizaż reviewer disliked how the scent changes on the skin, another reported the tube cracking when rolled, and a few saw no change in acne. Opinions largely refer to the tube, which shares the name and format of the product.
Who it may suit
Normal, combination and oily skin wanting a gentle, particle-free exfoliation once or twice a week; also those who do not tolerate scrubs. Reactive skin should start with the sachet and a patch test.
