FRESH SERIES
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.
- Supports a brighter, more radiant-looking complexion.
- Helps refine the look of uneven tone and dullness.
- Smooths the appearance of texture and fine lines.
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, especially dull skin with uneven tone that requires gentle brightening.
AROMA: a refreshing neroli aroma, softened by warm, light honey undertones.
HOW TO USE
Dispense about a quarter of a pipette into the palm of your hand. Gently press onto face, neck, and décolletage. Follow up immediately with the application of one of our creamy serums or moisturizers, such as Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum and Transcendent the Lotion or Ex Prunis oil.
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!
