Phyla Biotics (acne-fighting bacteriophages) update!
Hey guys! I wanted to update you all on my experience with Phyla Biotics!
Just to reiterate, I purchased these products with my own money and this post is in no way affiliated with the brand.
I started out for the first two weeks using only these products, plus an oil cleanser at night and SPF during the day. Then I switched to only using at night and using other products during the day.
I cannot possibly overstate how incredible this regimen has been for my skin. I posted a while ago about when I started using Adapalene, which improved my skin so much! The 6-photo collage is from that post. The 2-photo collage is the progress I had when I switched from Adapalene to Phyla. (The reason for only two pics is bc that's the only area I had any acne on the two days I took the pics.) I haven't touched Adapalene or any spot treatments in the month and a half since I started Phyla, and I currently have NO active acne whatsoever, for the first time in I don't even know how long. The breakouts I HAVE had in that time have been less frequent, less painful, less red.
I didn't have any purging or irritation at all with Phyla, whereas I purged and dried out pretty significantly in the first few weeks of Adapalene use. There's really no question for me that every claim from the brand seems to be correct! Not to say it would DEFINITELY work just as well for everyone, bc everyone's skin is different, but I would 100% recommend you try it out if you struggle with acne. It's on the pricier side (full set for $150) but absolutely worth it to me given how effective it is. They also have a satisfaction guarantee, meaning if you're not satisfied you can get your money back within 60 days! They also offer 15% off when you sign up for emails on their website, 20% off for students, and often have other discount events (I bought mine for a discount over Memorial Day weekend, for example.)
