Balancing Phage Serum
HOLY GRAIL ALERT! I love this product. This is one of my most repurchased skincare items. I simply don't enjoy most products enough to buy them again. But this stuff works!
This product is the epitome of gentle acne treatments. It works using naturally ocurring microbes that destroy acne-causing bacteria....and nothing else! No damaging the moisture barrier. No fragrance. Fungal acne safe. I personally struggle with a bit of both "fungal acne" and regular acne. I have to be very careful to read ingredient lists and avoid red flags. This has a very minimal ingredient list specifically formulated to create a favorable environment for the phages it contains, which also happens to help balance your skin's microbiome.
I love that the texture of this serum is super light-weight and sinks into the skin. But more than that I can say that I have never experienced any issues with pilling. That is a pet peeve of mine. This serum passes that test.
This is a no-frills kind of serum. I have tried countless products promising the world. This product serves one purpose and doesn't claim to do anything it doesn't. Now, don't get me wrong... this is definitely the type of product that takes some time of repeated use to truly show improvement. It takes a while to turn the tides in your favor in the battle with those pesky acne bacteria. But on the plus side, this serum is so gentle you can use it twice daily without being harsh on your skin.
It comes in a hygienic pump bottle, of course. It can stay room temp for several months without all those little phages keeling over. And the customer service has always been amazing. I have been a customer since this company started out with one single serum. It has now expanded its line to include other products to help balance the skin microbiome.
Now for the down side...It's not cheap. That's why I only purchase this product while on sale. But good news! They are currently selling mini bottles in a duo!
This product also has a shorter shelf life than most traditional products, as it contains living organisms. They do offer auto-replenish at a discount. It also does tend to have a slight (emphasis on the SLIGHT) unpleasant smell after it has been open for several weeks and if I apply a lot and sniff closely lol.
