Demystifying Phyto-Active Clearing Serum
Let's dive into the details, breaking down its chemistry and best uses so you can confidently use and recommend this unsung skin boosting superhero!
The Goal, Skin Balance and Homeostasis:
The primary aim of Phyto-Active is to balance the skin and bring it to a state of homeostasis. Some confusion may arise from its 21 active ingredients, each offering a variety of benefits. This unique complex works to limit blemishes, decongest pores, counteract hyperpigmentation, and balance skin tone.
Supporting Rather Than Treating Severe Acne:
Phyto-Active isn’t a standalone treatment for severely inflamed acne. Instead, think of it as a support product, perfect for clients who have managed to control their acne and are ready to reintroduce positive bacteria back into their skin's microbiome. The optimal timing will vary for each individual.
The Power of Lactobacillus Ferment:
Phyto-Active is based on Lactobacillus Ferment, which supports a healthy microbiome, preventing future acne by nurturing beneficial bacteria. Additionally, it helps reduce skin inflammation by maintaining the integrity of the microbiome. Fun fact: When your microbiome is balanced, you age slower. Yes, read that again!
Targeted Action Against Pigmentation:
Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine, an active ingredient in Phyto-Active, helps lighten and prevent pigmentation caused by breakouts or UV exposure by inhibiting Tyrosinase activity. This offers a healthier approach to managing pigmentation compared to other ingredients like Arbutin.
Strengthening the Skin Barrier:
Phytosphingosine, a ceramide and one of the building blocks of healthy skin, supports a strong barrier function. Lysophosphatidic Acid, Lysolecithin, and Lecithin aid in healthy keratinization, helping pores remain strong and appear smaller.
Antioxidant and Regulating Superpower:
Hydroxycinnamic Acid provides gentle skin brightening results and powerful antioxidant benefits. Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract, a Chinese medicinal herb known as Huang Qi, supports healthy skin aging, manages hyperpigmentation, firms skin, reduces fine lines, and regulates sebum production. Saccharide Isomerate, derived from plants, is an ExoPolySaccharide (EPS) that helps manage sebum production and provides superior hydration by mimicking the skin's natural processes. It offers more effective hydration than hyaluronic acid.
Integrating Phyto-Active Into a Home Routine:
Phyto-Active can be seamlessly integrated into both acne and anti-aging routines. It maintains clear skin, evens skin tone, and prevents hyperpigmentation. When we talk about crossing the “clearing bridge,” we mean that negative bacteria are under control, usually with Clarify usage, allowing the microbiome to balance.
It's also excellent for clients with hormonal acne, as daily use has shown to prevent monthly breakouts. Think of Phyto-Active as a true support product—remember to shake to activate! Clients may continue using other acne actives like Confidently Clean or Mandelica, along with Pore Rebalancing Toner and Ultimate Detox Mask to maintain clear, healthy skin. Remember, each client's skin is unique, so personalize their routine based on individual needs.
