Reviews For SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Hydrating + Calming Gel Serum
Great for calming skin
I have some dark spots and a little rosacea and this serum has helped with both. It is a little sticky, that's why the 4 stars, but I notice a difference on the days I skip it - my skin is a little more red. I'm excited to see what the impact will be after I finish the whole bottle.

Phyto corrective calming gel serum
This does a good job at keeping redness at bay on retin A nights. It does feel a bit sticky though. It is rather expensive and I’m not certain I will repurchase

Works Better Than Expected
I don't have Rosacea, but my face tends to have a lot of redness, so I decided to try this serum. When I opened the box, I was very disappointed to see that it is a very dark green. I know green is said to neutralize red skin, but I have very light, neutral coloring and always end up looking like the Wicked Witch! It also has a strong smell which made me less inclined to use it on my skin. The bottle sat on my dresser for a few days. while I debated throwing it away. Finally, one morning I was so discouraged with my red face I decided to give it a try. The serum does blend with my skin without leaving a green tinge and the smell gradually fades, so I began to use it twice a day. By the end of the first week most of the overall redness was gone. It was worth getting pass my initial reaction to the color and smell (the reason for 4 stars) because my skin does look brighter and has an even tone without the redness. It's definitely worth trying if you have a redness problem.

So far so good!
I think it will be good! Just started using. Is very thin and not super hydrating so I use with other skin ceuticals serums. Hope to see results for some red spots and plant to use after appliable cosmetic procedures in the future.

Nice serum
I’ve been using this 4-5 months. I have mild rosacea and hoped it would reduce my redness. It has helped a bit and was non-irritating. I’ve continued to explore other options including IPL and V beam for rosacea and although I plan to continue Phyto Corrective in the near future, I’m not sure it will be a permanent feature of my skin care routine. That probably speaks more to the success of other treatments than it does about the efficacy of this serum. In short, it has been only a part of the answer for my redness.

Good post peel serum
I like to have this on hand to use post peel or if any irritation is present. It works well for healing fragile skin but the only thing I don’t like is that it feels a little slimy and it leaves a green cast. Because of that it’s not practical to use during the daytime.

Calming treatment
This is a nice calming treatment if you have rosacea or if you're like me and you're skin just needs a break from time to time. It's soothing and really helps with redness and inflammation short term I'm only giving this 4 stars because it hasn't helped my redness subside long term, just for a few hours after using it.

hydrating and helps hide redness
This is a nice gel serum that is hydrating and does help hide redness. It does not pill underneath other products. My gripe is that this is a calming product, but it contains fragrance.

Feels nice on sensitive skin
I like the mask and the essence from this phyto corrective line and wanted to try the serum/gel. I use it when my face is feeling sensitive or needs a little post sun TLC and like the product so far.

Good for Sensitive Skin
I switched to this "calming" product from another brand after trying a sample. I get stress-related dry patches on my face and this really helped to quickly calm it down. I had to adjust my application because a little goes a long way so I wasted a lot my first week or so getting used to the dispensing. And the smell is ok. You can really smell the plant-based ingredients. But, overall, happy with the results.

Really nice product
I use this on way more than my face. Any healing cut or burn I have gets this. Any aggravated skin gets this. It's a wonderful healer! If my face gets winter burned (I'm in the upper midwest), this goes over my vitamin c serum. I add it to my body lotion when I have a particularly dry patch I want to treat. It really is effective. The ONLY reason I'm knocking a star off is the green dye. Really? Dye? It's in the whole Phyto line. How about leaving the dye out and put a light green label on the bottle instead? It's such a wonderful product. Tsk Tsk...

Calm Skin
Still a newbie to this product. Ordered it after trying a sample with other product. Liked the sample so ordered the full size. My skin is very sensitive and is pink to red quite after. Noticed a difference the first application. Using two drops, twice a day and it does feel like it calms my skin and reduces redness. I'd give it 5 stars except that it seem more liquid than gel and not able to tell if too much goes to one area and not enough to others.

Still hopeful
I love the way this product feels on my skin. It is a nice clean fresh coverage. I guess that is where the “calming” comes in. Other than that, I don’t see any benefits like combating redness or anything like that. Maybe I don’t understand the intent of the product. It is a little pricey for what it is but I like it and will keep using it (provided I can get it on sale).

Must have for redness
Love the smell of this! It does a good job at relieving redness and inflammation, but not what I expected for the price. Still on the fence about purchasing again.

Would buy again
After trying a sample I was really happy with results and how my skin did not become red once applied (this tends to happen once I wash my face and apply products). The sample did seem to have slightly more results than the full bottle or maybe it was since it was new to my skin. This is one of the only products that does not make my skin more red once applied. It doesn’t necessarily take the redness away, but it keeps it under control and prevents any increase in redness. It is not drying, doesn’t pill, and my skin likes it. I am almost done with my bottle and I would definitely buy again.

Very Good
I purchased this after getting samples with my order. I love the feel of it on my skin, but am not yet sure of its efficacy (this is my first vial). I had been using Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense previously for hyperpigmentation; my aesthetician said I could switch between that and Phyto Corrective Gel. I also use it with CE Feurilic in the morning and HA Intensifier at night.
