In the treatment room
The enzyme you reach for when you are not sure yet.
Most pumpkin enzyme exfoliators carry a little heat. This one does not — which is exactly what makes it useful when you are working with a new client and have not yet seen how their skin responds.
Pumpkin and pomegranate enzymes loosen keratinised surface cells while pumpkin and plum seed oils, panthenol and colloidal oat hold hydration and comfort through the step. The skin leaves the exfoliation phase smoother and more receptive, not raw.
Best for
- Dull or sluggish-looking skin
- Rough or uneven texture
- Congestion and surface buildup
- First-time clients and anyone new to exfoliation
- Skin that benefits from exfoliation with added nourishment
Protocol
A full treatment around it.
Pomkin Glow is the exfoliation step. This is the ritual Tami builds around it — cleanse, resurface, hydrate, massage.
-
5–7 minDouble cleanse
Moonlight Milk on dry skin, then Marigold Morning as the second cleanse.
-
7–10 minExfoliate
Apply an even layer of Pomkin Glow to clean skin. Adjust the time to skin condition and response, then remove thoroughly.
-
10 minHydrate
Vital Hydration Multi-Vitamin Mask, boosted with Matcha + Oat Milk if the skin wants calming.
-
10–15 minMassage
Squalane + E with a little Freedom Fighter. Add Golden Hour for 10 minutes when you want extra glow.
Stacking
Because it is gentle, it stacks with dermaplaning, hydrodermabrasion or a skin scrubber when the skin can tolerate more. Assess skin condition, treatment history, home care and contraindications before every treatment.
Tami’s treatment inspiration
Why this one is different
“Most pumpkin enzyme exfoliators have a little spice to them. This one doesn’t.
Pomkin Glow has a buttery, cushioned texture that makes it a beautiful choice for sensitive skin, first-time clients, or anytime I want to ease into exfoliation without pushing too hard. I also just really love a good pumpkin treatment, and this one feels especially comforting on the skin.”

The formula
Exfoliation with the comfort built in.
The enzymes do the resurfacing. Everything else in the jar is there so the skin stays comfortable while they do it.
Pumpkin + Pomegranate Enzymes
Enzymatic exfoliation that loosens surface buildup and improves the look of texture, without an acid step.
Pumpkin + Plum Seed Oils
Lightweight lipid nourishment that softens and conditions while the enzymes work.
Goji + Sea Buckthorn
Antioxidant-rich botanicals for skin exposed to environmental stress.
Panthenol + Colloidal Oat
Hold hydration and comfort through the treatment. Most of why this sits well on reactive skin.

Professional questions
Good to know
How long do I leave it on?
Roughly 7–10 minutes, adjusted to skin condition and how the skin is responding. Remove thoroughly and follow with hydrating and barrier-supportive steps.
Can I use it on a first-time client?
Yes — it is one of the better choices for it. There is no heat or spice, and the cushioned texture makes the step feel comfortable rather than alarming.
Can I stack it with other exfoliation?
Where the skin tolerates it, yes — dermaplaning, hydrodermabrasion or a skin scrubber. Judge it on the skin in front of you.
How is it different from Optimal Brilliance?
Pomkin Glow is enzymatic and gentle. Optimal Brilliance is a multi-acid exfoliator for resilient, congested skin that is used to professional resurfacing. Start here.
Can I steam over it?
Steam increases treatment intensity. Use it deliberately and according to the client’s skin condition.
Is there a retail version?
No. This is professional only. For home care, Moment of Clarity is the resurfacing step clients can use themselves.
