Hydrating Phage Serum

Product Details

Our award-winning natural formulation developed with research funded by the National Science Foundation uses ingredients that normally reside on healthy skin to eliminate the bad bacteria that causes acne, allowing you to have clear, healthier skin long-term and the glowing confidence that comes with it.

Say Goodbye to Spot Treatments & Hello to Healthier Skin.

Benefits

Non-Drying

Most acne products contain benzoyl peroxide or alcohol, both of which are drying to your skin. We use natural bacterial-attacking phages that never dry out your skin,

Safe for All Types of Skin

No matter what type of skin you have - normal, sensitive, dry, oily, or combination skin - the gentle ingredients in our product are completely safe for your skin, even during pregnancy.

Provides Long-Lasting Results

By using Balancing Phage Serum consistently 1-2 times per day, you can not only clear up existing acne and reduce redness & irritation, but you can also prevent future breakouts from occurring in the first place.

No Side Effects

Many acne products cause redness and irritation, but our Balancing Phage Serum’s natural gentle ingredients leave your skin looking calm and smooth.

Ingredients

Blend of C. acnes phages

Our proprietary blend of active phages kill the bad strains of Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) bacteria on your skin. There are about 300 billion phages in every bottle of Balancing Phage Serum! It appears second on the ingredient list, after water, because phages are so tiny (hundreds can fit inside a single bacterial cell!) that when you measure each ingredient by weight, they end up weighing less than the water in the bottle, which is the medium in which it is carried. Our phage blend is the result of years of research and requires specialized production capabilities to ensure each batch has peak potency and purity.

Glycerin

  A naturally derived moisturizer and humectant. That is, this compound helps to attract moisture from the air in order to keep your skin hydrated and glowing

Sodium levulinate

A naturally derived, skin-conditioning compound that preserves the serum and helps to prevent the growth of things like mold and other bacteria not targeted by our phage.

Magnesium chloride

An all-natural mineral salt harvested from the Dead Sea that promotes Cutiphage™ stability and activity and is also used as a thickener to improve the texture of cosmetic products.

Acacia gum

A plant-derived thickening agent (harvested from Acacia trees) that helps to give Wild Resilience a smooth, even texture.

Xanthan gum

A plant-derived natural sugar that acts as a thickening agent and prevents our serum from being too watery. It also has skin conditioning and emulsifying properties.

Sodium chloride

(aka good old table salt) A natural salt that helps to keep our phage blend stable over time.

Propanediol

A naturally derived preservative and humectant that is sustainably produced from corn sugar.

Pentylene glycol

A natural preservative derived from corncob and sugarcane that also acts as an emulsifier and humectant to help the skin attract and retain moisture.

Sodium anisate

A plant-derived preservative cultivated from star anise and basil.

Phenethyl alcohol

A compound that helps to preserve our serum and prevent growth of unwanted microbes. Unlike some alcohols you might be familiar with, this is a fatty alcohol that does not dry out your skin and is not harmful to your skin microbiome. It contains a pure, natural scent that some would describe as light and floral.

How It Works

Recommended step-by-step skincare routine (morning and/or night):

● Wash face with a gentle cleanser

 ● Apply 2-3 pumps of Balancing Phage Serum to clean, dry skin, covering the entire face

● Apply moisturizer and any additional products as you normally would

If toner is used, use only non-alcohol based-toner and apply after cleansing. Let dry and then apply Balancing Phage Serum.

Important Note:
Do not use in combination with products containing benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil, colloidal silver or where denatured alcohol is the main ingredient. (Unsure if your product is compatible? Please see our online FAQs or email us at hello@ellisdayskinscience.com). Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid eyes.
