Your questions, our solutions.

How long will it take to see results with Phyla?

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.

I have severe acne. What can I expect within the first few weeks of using Phyla?

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.

Can I use other skincare products with Phyla?

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.

Are Phyla's products vegan and cruelty-free?

Absolutely! All Phyla products are certified vegan and cruelty-free by the Leaping Bunny Program and PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies Program. Our lab facilities are also completely free of animal-derived components.

Is Phyla gluten-free and nut-free?

Yes, all of our products are 100% gluten-free and nut-free.

Does Phyla contain alcohol, sulfates, parabens, or phthalates?

No, Phyla products are formulated without alcohol, sulfates, parabens, or phthalates.

    The only one that’s worked

    I have struggled with cystic acne for years and have tried so many things. I would have to keep switching skin care because my acne would learn how to override it. This is the only one that has worked for me long enough to fully clear my skin so I can work on getting rid of my scars. Would recommend to anyone!!

    Don’t wait! Start now!

    Been using this product for a year and this is the most improvement I’ve ever seen. I have tried everything that the dermatologist has prescribed me and this is the only system that has worked for Me. My acne is still not 100% gone, but I have significantly less breakouts or cystic acne. It’s absolutely amazing!!

    Acne in My 40s

    I decided to stop hormonal birth control and my skin began to break out. Nothing I or the dermatologist did, helped. I have used Phyla for the last 2 months. I saw an immediate difference in my skin. Now, I get a pimple or 2 when I am about to start my period which is expected and normal. Before, I had pimples all the time. Thank you for creating a product that actually works!

    GREAT PRODUCT TO USE

    This is my first time using these products, and since my skin is very sensitive, I really hesitant to use them at first. However, each product is so light and moisturizing that I really like it. My skin hasn’t reacted at all, and I haven't had any breakouts, which is great. I highly recommend it and I plan to use these products often.

    Great product to combat adult acne

    I have been desperate in looking for an adult acne solution that is natural and works from the inside out. Phyla has been a great help. I just finished my first shipment of it, and have noticed that my breakouts are a lot less painful and big. The whipped moisturizer is especially soothing and calming! The the Phages serum has a great feel, and seems to really be working. I’m still having some hormonal acne, so curious to see how a second round of the Phage serum continues to help uproot the acne!

    Attached are photos from when I started the system to today.

    We are so glad to hear you are seeing progress, Serena! With prolonged use of the Serum, you are gradually adding the phages back to your skin so they can naturally occur there. The more you continue this, the better the results! Thanks for sharing :)

    60 day review

    After around 60 days of usage, I think the phyla serum is working. I am still experiencing some cystic/hormonal acne; however, I do feel like the occurrence is reduced and I plan on continuing the treatment for an additional 60 days.

    Gentle and Effective

    I love the three step program. It’s simple and easy to use. I really enjoy keeping the serum cool in my refrigerator. It’s refreshing on my skin and it seems to genuinely help calm my breakouts and prevent them from escalating into a full-blown war on my face. the moisturizer smells amazing. I wish you made one in a larger size

    Great products

    I'm loving this system! The cleanser isn't too drying and gets my skin feeling clean and fresh. I use twice daily as instructed. The serum is so nice when it's cold (as instructed) and makes my skin feel empowered and fresh. The whipped moisturizer is so lovely and soft. I love how it makes my skin feel like new skin. So soft and hydrated. I use everything twice daily, and it is doing a great job. When I have a breakout, the products help move things along faster. I also feel like there's less scarring from breakouts. Hormonal breakouts suck, but I have a powerful and beautiful system to help. Thank you Phage!
