Phytic [TC] Serum

1. In the morning, on clean dry skin, apply three to four drops to the face, neck and décolleté.
2. Massage in gently until absorbed and stay off the eye contour.
3. Follow with HA Booster if your skin feels tight, or a light moisturiser.
4. Finish with a broad-spectrum SPF whenever you will be outside.
5. If you use a retinoid, keep this one for mornings and the retinoid for evenings.

Is phytic acid an AHA?

No, though it is often filed there. Alphascience explains that it encourages shedding by binding calcium in the bonds between surface cells, rather than the low pH hydrolysis that glycolic or lactic acid rely on. That makes it gentler and easier to tolerate on reactive skin.

My skin is combination and some zones are sensitive. Can I still use it?

Yes. Apply it across the face as usual and use a lighter hand on the reactive zones. If a specific area keeps objecting, apply only where you need it. The formula carries no fragrance and no preservatives, which removes two common sources of reaction.

Will it help with pores?

It works on two fronts. Its mild keratolytic action reduces the build-up that makes pores look larger, and Alphascience states it also acts on the sebum production behind the shine. Pore size itself does not change. What changes is how visible they look.

Can I use it with my prescription retinoid?

Yes, but separate them by time of day. Phytic [TC] in the morning, the retinoid in the evening. Applying a low pH serum and a retinoid in the same routine invites irritation on sensitive skin. If you get dryness or peeling, reduce the frequency of one of them.
