Phyto Corrective Gel
Cool, calm, hydrated skin from the first drop.
Your skin flushes, runs warm and turns blotchy easily, and it feels dry and uncomfortable just when you need it to settle.
Phyto Corrective Gel cools and calms on contact, visibly softens redness and hydrates, so reactive skin feels comfortable again. Hyaluronic acid draws in moisture while cucumber, thyme and olive leaf extracts soothe, and mulberry root helps fade the look of discoloration. It is a botanical formula with measured results: SkinCeuticals recorded a 5°F drop in skin surface temperature right after application.
Who It Is For
Sensitive, blotchy, dehydrated or post procedure skin, and anyone whose skin runs warm or reactive.
Not Acne Safe
What You Will See, and When
Skin feels cooler the moment it goes on. With continued use, SkinCeuticals testing shows a 40% stronger skin barrier.
How to Use
Morning and night, press two to three drops into face, neck and chest, focusing on any areas that feel warm or look flushed. It goes on after your serums, and it should absorb fully before your retinoid or moisturizer. In the morning, sunscreen goes on last.
The Science
Reactive skin often has a barrier that loses water quickly, which leaves it more easily flushed and uncomfortable. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that binds water in the surface layers, and the botanical blend of cucumber, thyme and olive leaf is chosen for its soothing, calming feel.
SkinCeuticals measured a drop of 5°F in skin surface temperature on application and a 40% improvement in skin barrier strength in its own testing.
Questions
Why a Routine Made for You Works Better
General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.
Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.
Where that point sits depends on:
- Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
- Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
- Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
- Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
- Your goals: what you most want to change
- Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
- Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
- Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned
A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
