I ordered this product by accident. Shock , but a very nice surprise! After using it for about 10 days, I found that my freckles have been faded. I am not sure if this is also a combination of me using Vic-c for a month. Anyone else has similar (or not) experiences to share?

Laughing How do you buy a product by accident?

I'm glad it's worked well for you though. I have heard of people having success with high % AHA and vitamin C serum combos. Phyto+ is meant for pigmentation though so it's not surprising that you got those results from it although the vitamin C probably had something to do with it as well.

Actually, vitamin C and SC Phyto are a great combo for fading discolorations and evening out your complexion. You accidently did great!!

I have phyto+ and have a question. Are you supposed to use it all over your face and neck as a prevention measure or just put it on spots you want to fade?

gaby, what do the instuctions say? I'd just follow them.

One this site is only says twice daily..it doesn't say whether it's a spot treatment or whole face treatment.

Sorry I can't help more

Happygirl,

What type of skin do you have? I don't have any spots I need fading but I read this is good for acne skins...any comments on that?

You can use phyto+ over your entire face. Also, if I remember correctly from when I used it, it doesn't help to regulate oil production a bit. Doesn't dry your skin, but you don't get quite as oily.

This is what the SC website says...

"Kojic acid and arbutin, natural alternatives to hydroquinone, work synergistically to help break up hyperpigmentation, while cucumber and thyme contain anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties to soothe red, irritated skin. Active ingredients are delivered in a hyaluronic acid base to hydrate as they help heal, calm, and improve the appearance of the skin. "

Quick question, if the phyto+ uses a hyaluronic acid base would it be redundent or a waste to use B5 gel at the same time?

Hmmmm... Assuming that they have the same % of HA in them (and I don't know if they do) then there would be no point to use both IMO. Even if the Phyto+ has less HA then it might still be enough depending on your skin type I guess.

lianne - I have a dry/oily at T-zone/comb skin. I think it does help to fade the acne marks. But, like I said, it could be a combination from vic-C and Phyto+
