While some customers experience relief quickly, we recommend incorporating Phyla into your long-term skincare routine for the best results. True skin transformation happens at the cellular level, which typically becomes visible after 1-3 months of consistent use. Skin cells have a natural turnover cycle of about 28 days, and two months allow for multiple cycles, giving Phyla’s active ingredients time to penetrate deeply and work effectively. Acne is a persistent condition, and seeing real change takes patience. For optimal results, use the Acne Phage System twice daily to support a balanced microbiome and reduce the risk of future breakouts.

If you have chronic or severe acne, your microbiome may take a bit longer to rebalance. In these cases, we advise using the full Acne Phage System consistently, twice daily, for at least two months. It’s possible that your acne may temporarily worsen as your skin adjusts, but rest assured Phyla won’t cause the dryness, redness, or irritation often seen with traditional acne treatments.

We understand that skincare is a personal journey, and it’s natural to want to stick with products that work for you. To get the best results with Phyla, however, we suggest using the Acne Phage System exclusively. This reduces ingredient overload on your skin and allows our phages to work more effectively, helping to rebalance your microbiome and keep breakouts in check.
