Collection: O1

O1 Enzyme Cleansing Balls are single-use pre-portioned cleansing balls — small spheres of pressed enzyme powder mixed with natural plant extracts. To use, place one ball in wet hands or a cleansing pouch, add a few drops of water, and rub between your hands to activate. The ball dissolves into a soft creamy lather. The enzymes (typically protease, papain, bromelain or rice/bean enzymes) gently dissolve dead skin cells and surface impurities, delivering gentle chemical exfoliation alongside the cleansing action. The format eliminates packaging waste, controls portion sizes precisely, and makes cleansing portable and travel-friendly.

Match the variant to your skin's main concern. Cica Enzyme Cleansing Balls focus on calming and sensitivity support — best for redness-prone, reactive or stressed skin. Red Bean Enzyme Cleansing Balls draw on heritage Korean ingredients — red bean has been used for centuries in Korea for pore-decongesting, oil-controlling cleansing, ideal for combination and oily skin. Rice Enzyme Cleansing Balls use rice extracts and enzymes for brightening, smoothing benefits — heritage Korean ingredient famous for luminous skin. Many users own multiple variants and rotate based on their daily skin needs.

Enzyme cleansers use natural enzymes (proteases, papain from papaya, bromelain from pineapple, rice enzymes, fruit enzymes) to gently break down dead skin cell proteins on the skin's surface. Unlike chemical exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs) that penetrate deeper and can irritate sensitive skin, enzymes work only on dead cells at the surface — making them gentle enough for daily use even on sensitive, reactive or rosacea-prone skin. Unlike physical scrubs (sugar, salt, microbeads), enzyme cleansers don't scratch or abrade the skin. The result is smoother, brighter, cleaner skin without the irritation typically associated with stronger exfoliation methods.

Yes — enzyme cleansing balls are gentle enough for all skin types including sensitive, dry, oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. The single-use format means no contamination from repeat use, no preservatives in the cleanser (since each ball is fresh), and precise portion control. Use morning, evening, or both as your regular cleanser. For oily and combination skin, use as a single cleanse after light wear days, or as your second cleanse in a double-cleanse routine. For dry or sensitive skin, follow immediately with hydrating toner and rich moisturiser to maintain barrier function.

The single-use ball format eliminates the plastic packaging of traditional liquid or foam cleansers — each ball is a tiny pressed cake that comes in minimal recyclable packaging. The format is also water-conscious (the balls don't require water until activation, unlike liquid cleansers that contain mostly water). However, single-use products do create some waste compared to refillable bulk products. O1 positions the format as a balance between convenience, hygiene and reduced packaging. Particularly suitable for travel, gym bags, or when staying somewhere without your full skincare routine.
