I cannot possibly overstate how incredible this regimen has been for my skin. 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.
š Ingredients:
Bacteriophages (which kill C. acnes), squalane, glycerin
It's white and opaque and a bit runny, dries very quickly, but doesn't dry my skin out or irritate it at all.
I didn't have any purging or irritation at all with this serum, 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, $90 for the serum alone) 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.)
