A gel-cream that evens skin tone, calms redness and refines texture
SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is a brightening moisturizer for all skin types, including sensitive skin, that deals with dark spots, post-blemish marks, rough texture and redness. It combines 3% azelaic acid, which helps control excess sebum, unclog pores and calm redness, with 2% alpha-arbutin to fade dark spots. A 5.75% botanical complex of thyme, olive leaf and cucumber extracts brings antioxidant and soothing benefits. Skin feels hydrated from the first use, and day after day the tone looks more even, pores clearer and the complexion brighter.
The texture
