What is SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment?
SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is a lightweight gel-cream moisturizer for skin that is oily, dull and prone to visible redness at the same time. It combines 3% azelaic acid, 2% alpha arbutin and a 5.75% phyto botanical blend of cucumber, thyme, olive leaf and rosemary extracts. SkinCeuticals formulates it to visibly reduce excess surface oil and redness while smoothing texture and improving brightness and clarity. It is recommended for normal, oily, combination and sensitive skin. Press one to two pumps into a clean, dry face twice a day, and follow with sunscreen in the morning. Available at SkinCrew in 30 ml ($115).

The problem
Out-of-balance skin tends to show several things at once: midday shine, clogged-looking pores, lingering marks after breakouts, rough patches and a flush of visible redness. The products that target oil and marks are often drying or harsh, and the ones that calm redness are often too rich. People end up switching between formulas that fix one concern and aggravate another.
Brightening and balancing in one light layer.
Phyto A+ pairs azelaic acid and alpha arbutin with the soothing botanical blend from the Phyto Corrective family, in a gel-cream that SkinCeuticals describes as oil-free and non-comedogenic. It moisturizes, visibly reduces surface oil and redness and improves the look of post-blemish marks and rough texture. SkinCeuticals lists it as suitable for sensitive skin and reports that it was studied on all skin tones.

SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment: a light azelaic acid moisturizer for brighter, smoother, clearer-looking skin
SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is a daily corrective moisturizer with 3% azelaic acid and 2% alpha arbutin. SkinCeuticals describes it as soothing and correcting out-of-balance skin to improve brightness, texture and clarity, while minimizing the appearance of pores. The gel-cream texture is light enough for oily and combination skin and sits comfortably under sunscreen.
In a 12-week SkinCeuticals clinical study, the brand reports that Phyto A+ reduced the look of post-blemish marks by 20%, improved rough skin texture by 19% and reduced pore-clogging surface oil by 28%. The formula also contains niacinamide, squalane and sodium hyaluronate, and it is non-comedogenic. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment Stands Out
- Azelaic acid in a moisturizer. At 3%, azelaic acid is included to help address clogged pores by supporting surface cell turnover, in a leave-on cream rather than a separate treatment step.
- Alpha arbutin for tone. 2% alpha arbutin is the brightening ingredient, included to help even the look of skin tone and post-blemish marks.
- The Phyto botanical blend. A 5.75% blend of cucumber, thyme, olive leaf and rosemary extracts helps calm, soothe and reduce visible redness.
- Published 12-week results. SkinCeuticals reports a 20% reduction in the look of post-blemish marks, a 19% improvement in rough texture and 28% less pore-clogging surface oil.

SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment FAQ
What does SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment do?
Phyto A+ is a lightweight moisturizer that evens the look of skin tone, helps address clogged pores and calms the complexion. It combines 3% azelaic acid, 2% alpha arbutin and a 5.75% botanical blend to improve brightness, texture and clarity while visibly reducing excess oil and redness.
How do I use Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment?
SkinCeuticals recommends using it twice daily. After cleansing, press one to two pumps evenly into a dry face. In the morning it goes on after your antioxidant serum, such as Phloretin CF, and before a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Can I use Phyto A+ with vitamin C or retinol?
Yes. SkinCeuticals states that Phyto A+ can be used with vitamin C and retinol, and recommends applying it after them, especially after serums. In the brand's morning regimen it follows Phloretin CF and comes before sunscreen.
Is Phyto A+ good for oily, blemish-prone skin?
Yes. It was designed for out-of-balance skin. SkinCeuticals describes the gel-cream as oil-free and non-comedogenic, and reports a 28% reduction in pore-clogging surface oil in a 12-week clinical study. Azelaic acid is included to help address clogged pores.
Is Phyto A+ suitable for sensitive skin?
SkinCeuticals lists Phyto A+ as suitable for sensitive skin, and its botanical blend is included to calm, soothe and reduce visible redness. The formula does contain fragrance, so if your skin reacts easily, start with once-daily use and build up.
What is the difference between Phyto A+ and Phyto Corrective Gel?
Phyto Corrective Gel is a hydrating botanical serum focused on calming and visible redness. Phyto A+ is a moisturizer that uses the same family of botanicals and adds 3% azelaic acid and 2% alpha arbutin for brightness, texture and surface oil. They can be layered: gel first, then Phyto A+.
How long does Phyto A+ take to show results?
SkinCeuticals reports its results from a 12-week clinical study: a 20% reduction in the look of post-blemish marks, a 19% improvement in rough texture and a 28% reduction in pore-clogging surface oil. Individual results vary, and daily sunscreen supports any brightening routine.
Is SkinCrew an authorized SkinCeuticals retailer in the US?
