“Phyla is great! My only issue is there’s never enough face lotion. I have to supplement with another lotion - Iunik beta glucan cream. But phyla is great at calming down inflammation and speeding up the healing process.
I will say that a lot of my acne was an internal issue. After having tests done, I found out I had a hormonal imbalance (thyroid levels were 6x what they should be) and that my stomach was wrecked from taking antibiotics (ironically for my acne). I went on a whole food diet, cut out dairy, and most sugar. Worked on fixing my internal health, started taking Sea moss, krill oil, selenium, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, L-methyl folate, and D3+K2. While phyla was great at treating my skin topically, I also had to fix my body internally!”
“I’m not sure what I think about this Acne Phage System. My daughter has been using it since the beginning of June and there definitely hasn’t been the dramatic improvement that I have seen in some of the pictures, if any at all. Had really high hopes, but will probably keep searching and try something else once she runs out.”
“I have been using this system for the past 3 months and have noticed a big improvement in breakouts and in the texture of my skin. It is not irritating at all and I have noticed that my skin is more even and less red. I would highly recommend for anyone. I think this product would be great for teens and adults.”
“Nothing worked for my daughter who has cystic acne. I spent hundreds on products that either didn't work or were to strong it would make her face peel. This is the only product that is not hard on your skin and works!”
“This is my saving grace. I have struggled with cystic acne my entire adult life. I have always struggled to find a skincare line that was exfoliating enough to combat the cysts, but was also hydrating and nourishing. And after years and years of research and educating myself, I realized just how important a healthy microbiome is to skin health. My skin is finally healing and balanced. I am so grateful I found this line.”
Thank you for sharing your journey, so great to hear! Healing acne (especially stubborn cystic acne) and restoring balance is exactly why we do what we do.
“I bought the system initially through Sephora for my daughter who is turning 13. She started to get a pimples last year. And we have tried different products without viable result. I came across this system on Sephora and decided to have her give a try. She started using Phage Systems in April. During the first week, things seem to be working then she started to get more on her chin and cheeks. We thought her skin maybe purging as suggested by the FAQ. We waited another two months to see if her skin will be cleared. Now that is almost the end of July. Her chin has very slight improvement, instead of big acne, she has a lot of smaller bumps on the chin. And they can seem to be cleared. And there is one that just keeps on coming back to the same spot. She’s also have a lot more pimples on her chin especially around the nose, and top of her lips. Not sure if we should continue with this system or try something else again. Total waste of money.”
We know how discouraging this stage can be and we appreciate you sticking with it and giving it a shot. At just 3 months in, she’s still early in her journey, especially with hormonal changes at this age. Some skin takes longer to rebalance. If you haven’t already, our team would love to help adjust her routine for better results.
