Expert Verdict

Fermentation of pumpkin fruit with Lactobacillus lactis breaks down complex biomolecules into isolated phytochemicals; proteolytic fractions produce a gentle enzymatic exfoliator that serves as a natural alternative to AHAs. Note: The user's spelling "curcurbita" appears to be a typographic variant; the accepted botanical name is Cucurbita pepo.
