How It Works
Phages are naturally occurring microorganisms that selectively target C. acnes, the bacteria that drives acne.

Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne is often linked to fluctuations in hormones, particularly during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause. It often appears along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks, and can involve deep, painful cysts.
Phyla’s Approach: By balancing the skin’s microbiome, Phyla helps regulate the inflammatory response triggered by hormonal changes, reducing the severity and frequency of hormonal breakouts.
Cystic Acne
Cystic acne is a severe form characterized by large, painful, pus-filled bumps deep beneath the skin’s surface. It can be difficult to treat and often leaves behind scarring.
Phyla’s Approach: Phyla targets the specific strains of C. acnes that contribute to the intense inflammation associated with cystic acne, helping to calm and reduce these deep breakouts.
Teen Acne
Teen acne is extremely common during puberty, driven by hormonal changes that increase sebum production. It can range from mild to severe and affect the face, chest, and back
Phyla’s Approach: Phyla provides a gentle yet effective solution for teen acne by addressing the underlying bacterial imbalance without harsh chemicals that can irritate young skin.
Nodular Acne
Nodular acne consists of hard, painful bumps beneath the skin’s surface. These nodules are inflamed and can persist for weeks or even months.
Phyla’s Approach: Phyla’s targeted approach to C. acnes helps reduce the inflammation that drives nodular acne, promoting clearer skin.
Blackheads
Blackheads are open comedones, appearing as small, dark spots on the skin’s surface. The dark color is due to oxidized sebum, not dirt.
Phyla’s Approach: While Phyla’s primary focus is on the root cause of inflammation, a balanced microbiome can also help regulate sebum production, minimizing the occurrence of blackheads.
Whiteheads
Whiteheads are closed comedones, small, white or flesh-colored bumps that occur when pores are clogged with sebum and dead skin cells.
Phyla’s Approach: By creating a healthier skin environment, Phyla helps reduce the likelihood of clogged pores, thus minimizing whitehead formation.

Treating Your Acne
At The Source
No redness, dryness, peeling, or sensitivity.
Your questions,
our solutions.
How long will it take to see results?
While some customers experience relief quickly, we recommend incorporating Phyla into your long-term skincare routine for the best results. True skin transformation happens at the cellular level, which typically becomes visible after 1-3 months of consistent use. Skin cells have a natural turnover cycle of about 28 days, and two months allow for multiple cycles, giving Phyla’s active ingredients time to penetrate deeply and work effectively. Acne is a persistent condition, and seeing real change takes patience. For optimal results, use the Phyla system twice daily to support a balanced microbiome and reduce the risk of future breakouts.
I have severe acne. What can I expect within the first few weeks?
If you have chronic or severe acne, your microbiome may take a bit longer to rebalance. In these cases, we advise using the full Acne Phage System consistently, twice daily, for at least two months. It’s possible that your acne may temporarily worsen as your skin adjusts, but rest assured Phyla won’t cause the dryness, redness, or irritation often seen with traditional acne treatments.
Can I use other products alongside Phyla?
We understand that skincare is a personal journey, and it’s natural to want to stick with products that work for you. To get the best results with Phyla, however, we suggest using the system exclusively. This reduces ingredient overload on your skin and allows our phages to work more effectively, helping to rebalance your microbiome and keep breakouts in check.
Are Phyla's products vegan and cruelty-free?
Absolutely! All Phyla products are certified vegan and cruelty-free by the Leaping Bunny Program and PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies Program. Our lab facilities are also completely free of animal-derived components.
Is Phyla gluten-free and nut-free?
Yes, all of our products are 100% gluten-free and nut-free.
Does Phyla contain alcohol, sulfates, parabens, or phthalates?
No, Phyla products are formulated without alcohol, sulfates, parabens, or phthalates.
