Case study of using SOPHYTO® to help treat Perioral dermatitis


Photos: The condition of perioral dermatitis before and after 12 weeks of using Multivitamin Facial Serum, Ultra Mild Silken Cleanser and pH Optimizing Restorative Toner
Ars Cosmetica, one of our stockists in Slovenia, provided the following case study, written and translated by pharmacist Nina Špegel, to demonstrate the efficacy of using SOPHYTO® to help treat perioral dermatitis:

The patient's experience: "I have had perioral dermatitis for several years. A year ago I underwent a 12-week trial of the following SOPHYTO® organic skincare products: Multivitamin Facial Serum, Ultra Mild Silken Cleanser and pH Optimizing Restorative Toner. Before the treatment, I had reddish areas around the nose and on the chin. After the treatment, the difference was obvious: around the nose area, there was almost no visible blush; there was still some blush remaining on the chin, but even that was noticeably paler than before. Later, I switched from the Ultra Mild Silken Cleanser to the Natural Glycolic Foaming Cleanser."

Comment from Nina Špegel, Pharmacist
"The biggest advantage to using SOPHYTO® organic skin care products is that they do not contain essential oils (citral, eugenol, linalool, citronellol, geraniol, etc.) and have pH just below 5. If you read the ingredients on the SOPHYTO® products and have some knowledge about pH, it is very clear that the line has been developed to complement the skin's natural state. After some experience using SOPHYTO® myself, I can honestly say that it is the only line of organic cosmetics that I feel safe recommending to anyone suffering with perioral dermatitis or sensitive skin in general."
