FAQ

Q: Can I use SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective if I have active breakouts?
A: Yes, this oil-free, non-comedogenic formulation is specifically suitable for blemish-prone skin. The lightweight gel texture won't clog pores, and the anti-inflammatory botanical extracts help to calm irritation associated with active blemishes whilst the mulberry extract works to minimise post-blemish discolouration.

Q: Is this serum suitable for use after professional treatments such as laser or chemical peels?
A: Absolutely. SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective is specifically formulated for post-procedure care. The immediate cooling effect and barrier-strengthening properties make it ideal for use following professional treatments. However, always follow your practitioner's specific post-treatment instructions and ensure skin is fully healed before application.

Q: How quickly will I see results in reducing redness?
A: Clinical studies demonstrate immediate cooling and visible redness reduction upon application. For long-term improvement in skin barrier function and overall reduction in sensitivity, consistent use over 4-6 weeks is recommended. Individual results may vary depending on the underlying cause of redness and overall skin condition.

Q: Can I use this serum with other active ingredients like retinol or vitamin C?
A: Yes, Phyto Corrective layers beautifully with other professional-grade actives. When using with vitamin C in the morning, apply after your antioxidant serum and before moisturiser. In the evening with retinol, apply Phyto Corrective after your retinol application to help soothe any potential irritation. Speak to our experts for personalised layering guidance.

Q: Will this serum provide enough hydration on its own, or do I need a moisturiser?
A: Whilst Phyto Corrective delivers intensive hydration through Hyaluronic Acid, it functions as a targeted serum rather than a complete moisturiser. For optimal results, follow with a moisturiser appropriate for your skin type to seal in the hydration and provide additional barrier protection. Our experts can recommend the ideal moisturiser to complement your routine.
