FRESH SERIES : IN STOCK NOW
Phaedra Botanicals 'sappho's brightening' phytotherapy serum is exclusively available via our pre-order ON-DEMAND FRESH SERIES.
Crafted bi-monthly with the freshest ingredients, these products blend advanced bio-actives with freeze-dried, vitamin C-rich fruits—offering unmatched potency and purity you won’t find in mass-produced items.
DESCRIPTION
'Sappho's brightening' phytotherapy serum addresses the first signs of aging, cell turnover, and uneven skin tone. It is perfect for normal and acne-prone skin. This oil-free gel-serum with AHA fruit acids, dried-freeze acerola fruit, green tea extract, and magnolia berry soothes skin, brightens the skin tone, and provides your skin with a perfect matte-finish.
Long term use lightens skin tone, diminishes fine lines and improves the overall look and feel of the skin.
BRIGHTENING & REGENERATIVE PROPERTIES: Prevent sun damage and hyper-pigmentation before it happens. Your skin still responds very quickly to sun damage in your twenties, but any damage can show up later in your life. Prevention is a key to longer-young-looking skin. Combining AHA fruit acids with calming, soothing, and regenerative ingredients leads to effects without irritation. It helps to prevent premature aging.
POTENT HYDRATION & SEBUM-REGULATION: Cucumber, aloe vera, green tea, neroli, and magnolia berry deliver a potent hydration punch and antiageing effect, while horsetail and licorice helps regulate the sebum to prevent breakouts and clear complexion.
SUITABLE FOR: all skin types, including oily skin.
AROMA: a refreshing scent of neroli hinted with warm, light, honey undertones.
SKIN FEEL: ultra-light, quickly absorbing with matte finish. It has a brightening and hydrating effect.
TEXTURE: raw botanical gel serum.
pH: ~ 3.5
HOW TO USE
Mist your skin with one of the Phaedra Botanicals skin tonics and clean it with a cotton pad. Repeat until your skin is clean.
After cleansing, dispense one-third of the pipette of the brightening serum into the palm of your hand, rub your hands together and apply to the face, neck, and décolletage using gentle pressure.
Follow up with Ex Prūnīs Antioxidant Treatment Oil or Eratō’s Multipurpose Essence, which helps to amplify results and seal the serum. Whatever your choice, apply the oil or cream before the serum sinks in and dries.
TRIED AND TESTED
What a beautiful and innovative project this is from Phaedra Botanicals - to provide us with a way to experience the freshest of the fresh skin care for outstanding results. This serum really is as beautiful as it sounds. The scent completely captivates me. Phaedra Botanicals serums are possibly the most beautiful scents I've ever inhaled, and throughout the day I get whiffs of the aroma. Heavenly! I loved applying this serum on in the evening without any need for an oil or moisturiser on top, because it's a true serum in the sense that it has an aqueous consistency. In the morning when applying this serum I loved applying a small amount of the Phaedra Botanicals ex prunis oil on top, because I love a dewy finish. What this serum does to my complexion is nothing short of remarkable. It left my skin looking and feeling amazing. It brightens. It hydrates. It visibly improves my overall complexion. Like all of the Phaedra products. Love it!
