REVIEWS

★★★★★
I have been enjoying using the Sappho’s Brightening Serum and the results of the daily application. Like all Phaedra Botanicals products, my skins absorbs the serum really well and feels fresh and balanced afterwards. This serum in particular does also give a sense of tightness to the skin. The scent of this serum is lovely and my skin really glows for the rest of the day!

It works beautifully on my skin, toning it and giving it a youthful look. I always follow up with the Golden Age Rejuvenating Oil.

I introduced Sapphō’s Brightening Serum into my routine every morning for the past two weeks. It wasn’t until today that the dark, stubborn spot on my cheek lightened. I apply two drops after my facial mist while my skin is slightly damp. This is proof developing a more minimalistic approach to my routine shows the results of Sapphō’s Brightening Serum!

This serum is absolutely amazing. I chose it based on my friend’s recommendations, and after trying it for the first time, I have already reordered it several times. I adore this product, especially during the summer, as it keeps my skin radiant and even-toned, and I notice an immediate improvement every time I use it.

Such a unique serum! Really like nothing else. It carries this very refreshing scent, and my skin immediately looks brighter once applied. I use it with phaedra’s ex prunis oil, and the combination is lovely and leaves my skin looking great. I recommend trying.

I am one of those people who blush depending on the weather or emotions. Since I started using Phaedra products, my skin is more comfortable. I have less redness and imperfections. Thank you Phaedra!

Wonderful serum with amazing scent and properties. It visibly brightens my skin and serves as a perfect step in my skincare routine after cleansing and before I apply my cream. Perfect!

I have to say I was very impressed with this product. I have melasma from pregnancy and I have seen a more brighten complexion since I’ve used this. There is a delicious natural scent like every other Phaedra’s creation that makes it feel so natural and unique. And it just feels so fresh.

This is a surprising serum. My first choice was the Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum, but this one is amazing and surprised me as a product. It is superlight and genuinely brightens my skin. The scent is fantastic and so unique! I always follow up with Hana’s serum and I must say that these two products together make a really amazing combination! Together, they create this wonderful scent that is just heartwarming and my skin has never looked better!

I have only been using this serum for 2 weeks to help with my hormonal breakouts and it has really helped to clear my skin and fade post acne marks. I’m truly surprised with the results. Oh and the smell is so beautiful.

This serum is incredibly particular! It is like nothing else. The scent is very refreshing and changes gradually, as does the color. I always use it with my Ex Prunis from Phaedra Botanicals, and the two seem to work beautifully together. If you want to try something new, this is definitely worth testing.

Lately, I’ve been using mostly products from Phaedra Botanicals and they work so nicely together. I love to combine them and they leave my skin hydrated and brightened. This serum has an amazing scent and consistency. I love using Witch Hazel Botanical Water before applying Sapphō’s Serum and sometimes I use Sapphō’s Brightening Serum under the Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum and it works truly great together, leaving my skin soft and hydrated.

My gosh .. how beautiful is the scent!! Probably the most beautiful scented product I’ve ever used.

I’ve just finished my first sample bottle of this OH SO BEAUTIFUL serum. And my gosh … it really is as beautiful as it sounds. It’s as beautiful as the Hana Defies Time from Phaedra … in that the scent completely captivates me. PHAEDRA BOTANICALS serums are possibly the most beautiful scents I’ve ever inhaled, and throughout the day, I get whiffs of the aroma. Heavenly! I loved applying this serum on in the evening without any need for an oil or moisturiser on top, because it’s a true serum in the sense that it has a gel / aqueous consistency. In the morning, when applying this serum I loved applying a small amount of the PHAEDRA BOTANICALS ex prunis oil on top because I love a dewy finish. What this serum does to my complexion is nothing short of remarkable. It left my skin looking and feeling amazing. It brightens. It hydrates. It visibly improves my overall complexion.

I use this serum under Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum and the combination is absolutely amazing. I use them just for a couple of days and already see the results. My skin is bright, balanced, and radiant. Absolutely in love with these serums. Moreover, I received them only 2 days after production! Amazing.

Nice soothing serum. Calming and balancing for sensitive skin. Helps to reduce dryness and cold weather redness. Subtle pleasant fragrance. Goes on lightly and absorbs well. I’d definitely recommend for all skin types.
