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.
