    Q&A

    Q&A

    What does Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment do?
    Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is a skin-brightening moisturizer that evens skin tone, unclogs pores, and calms the complexion. The Phyto botanical blend works to soothe redness-prone skin while alpha arbutin evens skin tone and azelaic acid increases cell turnover. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to gently lift dead cells, restore radiance, and reduce the appearance of blemishes.
    Can I use Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment cream every day?
    Yes, it is recommended that Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment be used twice daily. This oil-free brightening cream should be followed with a broad spectrum SPF when applied in the morning.
    Can Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment be used with vitamin C and retinol?
    Yes, Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment can be used with vitamin C or retinol. However, it is important to consider the order in which the products are applied to prevent irritation. Always use Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment after vitamin C or retinol, especially if they are in the form of serums.
    Is Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment a good moisturizer for sensitive skin?
    Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is an effective moisturizer for a range of skin concerns, including sensitive skin. The Phyto botanical blend helps calm skin and visibly improve complexion.
    Is Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment a good moisturizer for acne-prone skin?
    Yes, Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is an effective moisturizer for reducing the visible appearance of blemishes. One of the key ingredients, azelaic acid, works to increase cell turnover, thereby preventing the occurrence and appearance of clogged pores.
    Can a moisturizer brighten skin?
    Not all moisturizers brighten skin, this depends on the formula. Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment, for example, is formulated with alpha arbutin which is specifically designed to restore a bright complexion, reduce blemish marks, and improve skin texture.
