What it is

How to use

• AM: Cleanse, apply a small amount to face and neck avoiding the eye area, then follow with your moisturiser if needed. Finish with a broad‑spectrum SPF every morning.
• PM: Cleanse, apply Phyto A+ to dry skin, then layer a moisturiser if you require extra hydration.
• Use twice daily. Patch test before first use and introduce gradually if combining with other actives.

Why it works

• Alpha arbutin — targets visible dark spots and helps even skin tone in a gentle way.
• Azelaic acid — supports clearer pores and a smoother surface by mild exfoliation and sebum regulation.
• Niacinamide — helps strengthen the skin barrier and reduces redness and discolouration.
• Botanical extracts (grapefruit, thyme, rosemary, cucumber, olive leaf) — provide soothing and antioxidant support to reduce irritation from active ingredients.

What to expect

• Early improvements in skin clarity and texture are often noticed within 4–6 weeks; more significant fading of persistent marks can take longer depending on skin history and routine consistency.
• Expect a non-greasy, matte finish suitable for under makeup and sunscreen.

Good to know

• Perform a patch test before applying to the full face.
• Avoid the eye area; discontinue use if persistent irritation occurs.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use.
