Brand Focus – PHYTOMER Cyfolia Bio Organic Face Care

 

Cyfolia Bio Organic Radiance Exfoliating Cream 50ml £33

Regular exfoliation is fundamental in maintaining a bright and healthy complexion – consider it one of the best tools in your kit when it comes to age-defying skincare.

There are options available for exfoliation purposes, depending on your skin type. Whilst your preference might be an enzymatic formula which gently dissolves dead skin cells, there is also what’s known as a mechanical exfoliator. Phytomer Radiance Exfoliating Cream is the latter and contains tiny particles to literally scrub away the aforementioned skin cells.

As with any mechanical exfoliating product, it’s essential that you take care and adopt a gentle approach. Tiny capillaries near the skin’s surface can be damaged if you’re too vigorous in sloughing off those dead skin cells, particularly if you’ve a mature or fragile skin type.

Benefits: Not only does regular exfoliation reveal fresher-looking glowing skin, it keeps fine lines and wrinkles softer in appearance as a build-up can exaggerate the look of skin ageing and prevent skincare from being properly absorbed.

Not all mechanical exfoliators are equal and vary hugely. Some are densely packed with *particles, whilst others are sparse. I would place Phytomer Radiance Exfoliating Cream somewhere in the middle. A creamy combination of pomegranate seed and argan kernel particles which whisk away dulling dead skin cells. Pink peppercorn, aloe vera, rose and cedarwood oil deliver a wonderful fresh scent for an extrasensory skincare experience.

Cyfolia Bio Organic is packed with 98 per cent naturally derived ingredients including:

Organic Cyfolia algae

Italian organic orange water (source of vitamin C).

OLIGOMER® (works to stimulate cell vitality, strengthen and remineralise the skin). This special ingredient described as an “extract of seawater” is protected by a manufacturing secret that has ensured worldwide exclusivity to Phytomer for more than forty years.

I find this product really effective and leaves my skin exceptionally smooth. I always follow with my usual toner and finish with Cyfolia Radiance Hydra-Comforting Cream for a hydrating complexion boost. Over the four-week period in which I’ve been using it I’ve seen a general improvement in my skin with a new, finer texture and deeper hydration.

Recommended use: Once or twice per week.

 

Cyfolia Bio Organic Radiance Cleansing Cream 150ml £28.25

We’re all short of time these days and Cyfolia Radiance Cleansing Cream is the ideal choice for a quick, refreshing cleanse. A gentle, nourishing formula with a dense consistency; it literally melts away makeup and leaves skin squeaky clean but without stripping natural oils. The scent is universal to the Cyfolia range – light, fresh notes of aloe vera, rose, cedarwood oil and pink peppercorn.

I admit to being a bit lazy when it comes to cleansing, and tend to opt for micellar water, mainly in the mornings when I’m not in need of such a deep cleanse. However, clean skin is always the first step in any skincare routine so whatever your choice, why not incorporate Radiance Cleansing Cream and experience what Phytomer’s unique and patented marine ingredients can do for your skin, at every step.

“It’s a joy to massage into the skin and rinses away effortlessly”.

I’ve been using Radiance Cleansing Cream in the evenings and enjoying clean skin without the tight feeling often found after using a wash-off cleanser.
