My Review:
Lightweight and easy to use, SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is a brightening moisturiser designed to enhance the texture, clarity and overall radiance of the skin.
The key ingredients of 2% alpha arbutin, 3% azelaic acid and 5.75% phyto-botanical blend help to achieve these desirable results.
A variety of skin concerns can be addressed with this product, including
hyper-pigmentation and acne, as well as inflammatory conditions like rosacea.
Skin pigmentation and dryness are my particular concerns rather than oiliness or combination skin, so I was eager to try this new product as an alternative to retinol to try to achieve more radiant and smooth skin.
It is fine to use it in the morning only, or both morning and night. Because the product is very light and layers perfectly under my
sunscreen, I used it every day as well as at night making it ideal for every day usage.
However at night, I felt the need to apply a Hyaluronic Acid serum as well to provide additional moisture, as the Phyto A+ wasn't providing enough hydration on its own.
This lightweight moisturiser is perfectly suited for those with blemish-prone, oily or combination skin types due to its light texture.
The gel-like texture is absorbed quickly into the skin, and although it did feel slightly tacky after applying, it was fine once I had followed with my SPF. While it's still early with the product, I can already feel that my skin is smoother and brighter.
My overall impression of the product is positive, and I am looking forward to furthering the benefits with extended usage.
SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment performed really well in clinical trials, with patients reporting an overall decrease of post-blemish marks by 20% on average, improvement in rough skin texture by 19%, and reduction of pore-clogging surface oil by 28%.
The only negative feedback from me would be that I went through the product a lot faster than other similar products, so a larger bottle would be better!
