Description

SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is an oil-free gel moisturiser that helps improve skin radiance, texture, and clarity. Suitable for oily and acne-prone skin with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Key ingredients include Alpha Arbutin, a naturally occurring derivative of hydroquinone that helps brighten the appearance of post-inflammatory dark marks. Azelaic Acid is a multi-tasking and mildly exfoliating anti-inflammatory that contributes to a clearer and more even-looking complexion. Niacinamide enhances barrier function and helps improve skin discolouration. A botanical blend of Grapefruit, Thyme, Rosemary, Cucumber, and Olive leaf extract has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, as well as skin-brightening benefits. Oil-Free. Non-Comedogenic. Contains a fragrance.

Dr Webster’s Recomendation: SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment helps to modulate the appearance of dark marks without triggering breakouts or sensitivity – ideal for treating aggravated, inflammation-prone skin. Azelaic Acid is one of my favourite ingredients as it can help treat an array of skin disorders simultaneously.

Not indicated for use during pregnancy and lactation.

    Left my skin feeling great – cooling, refreshing sensation, and did not trigger any breakouts (acne-prone skin). However, no change in my PIH and no improvement in skin brightening after going through 2 bottles

    I’ve been using this for a month now and love it. I bought it to help with post-blemish pigmentation which I suffer badly with, but since using it have not had any blemishes and my skin looks baby-smooth. An awesome addition to my routine from beloved Skinceuticals.

    I am almost done with my 2nd bottle and honestly I cannot notice any difference to my skin. No change to the dark marks. Over priced and it under delivers

    Not sure what I expected but it didn’t happen. Have not seen much of a difference with my marks. The consistency is nice as well as the delivery, but no difference seen. Have been using for almost 2 months so maybe I am impatient?
