DermaQuest Phytic Infusion and C Serum

DermaQuest's Phytic Infusion and C Serum effectively combats photoaging by harnessing a potent blend of antioxidants, including 8% stabilised Vitamin C and 2% Phytic Acid. These ingredients work together to neutralise harmful free radicals, which are known to cause premature skin ageing. By reducing oxidative stress, the serum helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, restoring a brighter, more youthful complexion. Regular use also improves the skin’s elasticity and tone, addressing both existing damage and providing future protection from environmental stressors.

What sets Phytic Infusion and C Serum apart from other Vitamin C serums is its synergistic combination of ingredients, including Phytic Acid, Tannic Acid, and Ginkgo Biloba. While Vitamin C brightens and firms the skin, Phytic Acid gently exfoliates and helps fade hyperpigmentation. The addition of Tannic Acid offers extra protection against environmental damage, while Ginkgo Biloba provides anti-inflammatory benefits and soothes the skin. Together, these ingredients deliver a more comprehensive anti-ageing solution that targets not just discolouration but also the deeper signs of photoaging, like loss of elasticity and texture.

Yes, this serum is generally suitable for sensitive skin, but as with any active ingredient, we recommend performing a patch test first. The inclusion of Phytic Acid is designed to exfoliate and brighten the skin gently, so it’s typically well-tolerated, even by those with sensitive skin. However, if you have extremely reactive skin, introduce the serum gradually—using it every other day—and monitor your skin’s response. Always follow up with a broad-spectrum SPF during the day, as exfoliating acids can make your skin more sun-sensitive.

While individual results may vary, many users start to notice improvements in their skin’s brightness and texture within a few weeks of consistent use. After about 4 to 6 weeks, you should begin to see a reduction in dark spots, improved skin tone, and a softening of fine lines and wrinkles. This serum not only tackles the visible signs of photoaging but also helps protect against future damage, so continued use will enhance its long-term benefits. For best results, apply the serum daily and complement it with SPF protection during the day.

Yes, Phytic Infusion and C Serum can be used with other active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and niacinamide. However, it's best to avoid using it alongside other exfoliating acids like glycolic or lactic acid in the same routine, as this could cause irritation. If you’re using retinoids or stronger exfoliants, consider applying them in the evening and the Phytic Infusion and C Serum in the morning to minimise any potential irritation and maximise results.

Phytic Acid is a gentle exfoliant and antioxidant that helps brighten the skin by removing dead skin cells and targeting hyperpigmentation. In this serum, it plays a crucial role in reducing dark spots and creating a more even skin tone. Unlike harsher exfoliants, Phytic Acid works gently, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin. It also enhances the effectiveness of Vitamin C in reducing the visible signs of photoaging, such as wrinkles and fine lines.

Yes, this serum is formulated for daily use, especially in the morning, when its antioxidant properties can help protect your skin from the day’s environmental stressors, such as UV rays and pollution. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing formula makes it easy to layer under moisturiser and SPF. However, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to start by using it every other day to allow your skin to adjust to the active ingredients, especially the exfoliating effects of Phytic Acid.

Yes, DermaQuest’s Phytic Infusion and C Serum is suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin. Its lightweight texture ensures it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it a great option for those with oily or acne-prone skin. The gentle yet effective exfoliating properties of Phytic Acid also make it a good choice for dry skin, as it helps to brighten and smooth without causing irritation. Sensitive skin types should start with a patch test and gradually incorporate it into their routine.
