Next, let’s get to know about the duo set. According to the Jan Marini website:
Clean Zyme Cleanser and Skin Zyme Mask are supplemental home care exfoliation products that have the ability to remove dead skin cells without harming sensitive or irritated tissues. Use anytime for an immediate polished look. Intended to be used as a pair. Both products are also great when used as part of a comprehensive skin care regimen.

The Clean Zyme & Skin Zyme duo is great for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
How to Use the Products
Then, let’s learn how to properly use the Jan Marini products. According to Jan Marini’s website:
Clean Zyme should be applied in place of a regular cleanser and left on 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a clean, wet, and wrung-out washcloth using lukewarm water. Blot dry.
Apply Skin Zyme in a thin even layer over the entire face (and neck, if desired) and allow to remain for up to 20 minutes. To remove Skin Zyme, apply a small amount of Clean Zyme to the face and massage very gently to achieve emulsification. Remove with a washcloth and splash face 10 to 15 times with lukewarm water. Blot dry and follow with usual Skin Care Management products and/or moisturizer.
Pros
- Gives off a slightly cooling, tingling sensation
- Gel-like consistency
- Smells like citrus
- Can be used any time for an immediate polished look
- Contains other natural ingredients such as honey, aloe, and orange
Cons
- Thick and sticky

Final Verdict
Overall, I was very pleased with the Jan Marini Clean Zyme & Skin Zyme duo. I like the citrus smell and the calm, cooling sensation of the cleanser and mask. As directed, I applied the Skin Zyme mask and washed it off with the Clean Zyme cleanser. The next day, I woke up with a brighter complexion. In the end, I was surprised at how quickly the duo improved my skin’s appearance! I’m sure with continued use, my acne-prone skin will clear up and brighten up. So if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, I would recommend trying the Jan Marini Clean Zyme and Skin Zyme duo.
