Dermalogica Phyto Nature Range Results
Dermalogica doesn’t believe in anti-ageing. Instead, they create formulas that aim to make your skin look great for its age. Cue the Phyto-Nature range, a collection of innovative formulas that combine botanical extracts and science to firm, brighten and revitalise the skin. Within the line-up is a serum, moisturiser and the latest addition, an eye cream. Now, in a complete pro-ageing routine, we tasked our team with testing its skin-smoothing and glow-boosting abilities. Here are all the details and our team’s 30-day review…
About The Phyto Nature Range
The Dermalogica Phyto Nature collection is great for anyone wanting to combat signs of ageing and restore the skin’s youthful glow and elasticity. This collection harnesses the power of plant-based ingredients to deliver visible benefits such as firming, lifting, and reducing wrinkles. Key products include the Phyto Nature Firming Serum, which combines sapphire-bound biomimetic peptides and potent botanical extracts to revitalize skin; the Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream, which boosts skin radiance and resilience; and the latest addition to the range (released in 2024), the Phyto Nature Firming Eye Cream, which reduces puffiness and dark circles. Together, these products aim to rejuvenate and protect the skin, providing a youthful, radiant appearance.
Our Team’s 30-Day Reviews
These are real results from our team using the eye cream, serum and moisturiser twice daily for one month. We saw key improvements in lines and uneven skin tone and texture, plus crow’s feet and dark circles were reduced.

Phyto Nature Firming Eye Cream Review:
“I have enjoyed using this eye cream. It has a light texture and is easy to apply for eye massage. Since using it, it has sunk in quickly, and I feel like I look fresher, more awake, and my skin feels more hydrated.”
Phyto Nature Firming Serum and Oxygen Cream Review:
“I love the moisturiser’s packaging/weightiness; it is easy to pump, just the right amount, there is no mess or leaking, etc., and the texture feels very hydrating but not greasy. I have found it a great base for makeup, giving me a noticeably improved glow. I have definitely been wearing less makeup since trying this regime! I also love the serum’s packaging and no-mess pump. Easy to apply, really pleasant and not overpowering scent and absolutely no pilling when used under makeup. Easily absorbed into the skin, feels lightweight yet enough on any small dry patches/dehydrated skin – I highly recommend this regime to my 40+ friends!”

Phyto Nature Firming Eye Cream Review:
“My under eyes have been so dry lately (think crusty, dry and itchy – it’s not been pretty), and nothing has done the trick. Until this. I love how creamy and nourishing the formula is; it feels very soothing, which is what I needed. My eyes are finally back to normal. As for signs of ageing around my eye area, I have noticed a difference. My crow’s feet are a bugbear of mine, and they look diffused after just one month. I can’t wait to see the long-term results!”
Phyto Nature Firming Serum and Oxygen Cream Review:
“The glow this serum gives is gorgeous. It’s like a post-facial glow x10. It’s the perfect texture to pair with a gua-sha if you want extra lift. My skin tone appears evener, fine lines appear smoother, and my complexion looks healthier overall. I’d say it’s the combination of all three products together. The moisturiser has a hydrating texture that isn’t too heavy, too – sometimes heavy moisturisers can overburden my skin and cause me to break out, but not this one. The scent is fresh and calming too, which adds to the overall pleasure of using this range.”
Michelle’s Results
Age: 39 years old
Skin type: Dry
Main skin concerns:
• Puffiness
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Crow’s feet
• Uneven skin tone
• Dryness
• Loss of firmness
Phyto Nature Firming Eye Cream Review:
“My eye area has seen the biggest improvement – they are firmer and have fewer wrinkles on the outer side. Above my eye, it also feels firmer. Dryness is no longer a concern in the area under my eye. I haven’t needed to use concealer in the last two weeks when applying make-up. A small amount of product was more than generous when using, and I still have product left after twice-daily use for 30 days. Excellent value.”
Phyto Nature Firming Serum and Oxygen Cream Review:
“You only need a small amount of the serum; it provides instant nourishment. I used a guava stone to help work the product into and around the skin, pushing the stone around the skin to help with the lifting process. I definitely have noticed my skin is firmer, my make-up goes on nicer, and I have had more days without wearing makeup due to less redness. I’ve been using the routine twice daily for 30 days, and I still have product left, so good value. Again, I only used a small amount of the moisturiser, which was sufficient to work all my face. My skin felt softer after application, and it no longer felt dry. I have had less redness, and make-up goes on better, and I need less make-up. Skin looks/feels nourished, smoother and brighter.”

Phyto Nature Firming Eye Cream Review:
“It was love at first sight/use with this eye cream; it felt incredibly cooling and soothing on the skin when applied, and it refreshed my under eyes throughout the day. I think this worked well with the rest of my routine (I was looking for a new eye cream as my previous one was running out). It fits in incredibly well, and I could easily add it to the routine as I normally would. I think the packaging is nice, simple, effective, and appealing to everyone.
My under eyes have always been an insecurity of mine as they’ve always been dark and hollowed – I used to use the lightest concealer possible before I got comfortable enough with them to accept that I would always have eyebags. As I got older, they did seem to get a little more severe, especially at times I can notice how tired I look. After trialling the eye cream, I have found that they do seem lighter and a little more lifted than before. I feel more confident going out without anything to cover them. ”
Phyto Nature Firming Serum and Oxygen Cream Review:
“Initially, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the serum as I felt where my skin type was already oily, it was sitting on the skin for longer and did make me feel a bit greasy, but over time, I started leaving a little bit longer in between my application and the next steps in my routine and giving it a bit longer to absorb, and it was a lot better.
The cream’s texture was nice and smooth, and I loved that the application guideline suggested stopping and taking a breath to add mindfulness to your day. I think that was a nice touch, as most days (especially in the mornings), I find that I’m running around and doing the steps to get them done but not really taking a moment to relax for a minute. I think adding it to my skincare routine is a great idea. I think it worked well with the rest of my routine and makeup. As I was trialling the full range, I replaced my regular moisturiser with this, so there wasn’t much disruption to my routine overall. I’m not at all scared of ageing; it happens (hopefully) to us all, but I was raised with the mindset that you only have one skin, and it’s the one thing everyone can see – so you should look after it as best you can. I think this fits that perfectly; while I don’t think it drastically removed the deeper sets of wrinkles that I’ve been noticing as I’ve gotten older, my skin has felt moisturised, tighter and overall a lot less dull.”

Phyto Nature Firming Eye Cream Review:
“I’m always looking for a good eye cream, and sometimes it’s challenging to find the right product with the right texture and amazing results. However, this eye cream has exceeded all my expectations, from its texture, which is lightweight but also balmy, to how smoothly it melts into the skin and how effective it is. Once applied, it almost feels like it’s leaving a protective film over the area under your eyes, and it just fades away all the fine lines and wrinkles. The eye cream really captured my attention, as I could see improvements in the area under my eyes after only one week. I cannot recommend this eye cream enough. It has been part of my skincare routine for a while now, and I want to see the results after using it for three months. It gave me back the confidence to leave the house without makeup and feel actually proud about my complexion.”
Phyto Nature Firming Serum and Oxygen Cream Review:
“I love the packaging of the Phyto Nature Serum and the 2 chambers; it looks interesting and very easy to use. At first, I didn’t like the texture much as it seemed too oily compared to what I usually wear in serums. However, I got used to it really quickly as it absorbs quite fast and nicely into the skin. I did have a breakout after I started using the Phyto Nature range, but that can be simply because it’s not the textures I usually go for. Anyway, after a week, my face cleared out nicely, and I started seeing the benefits of using the serum twice a day, as my skin got firmer and brighter and just glowing in health towards the end of the month. Hands-on Heart is one of the best serums I’ve tried in a long time.
I love the texture of the moisturiser; it’s so lightweight and refreshing and melts into your skin immediately. It smells great. I’ve used it twice a day on my face, and it gives me a beautiful natural glow. I have also noticed that my skin has become firmer and bouncier, with fewer visible fine lines, which I am super pleased with.
I can not recommend this range enough. It gave me amazing results in a month, and I am now obsessed with it. I think it will be my go-to whenever I need to rejuvenate my skin—this will be my natural facelift.”

Main eye area concerns:
• Dark circles
• Dryness
• Sagging
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Rough skin texture
• Visible pores
Phyto Nature Firming Eye Cream Review:
“Out of the three products, the eye cream was my favourite. I loved everything about it, from the slight peppermint scent to the texture and thickness of the cream. The packaging feels luxurious and definitely stands out amongst other brands. The formula is my favourite thing about this eye cream; it feels thick and blends well into the eye area. You just instantly feel it will improve this area. Also, it was good as a base for my concealer, which seemed to look better with reduced fine lines and a lot brighter. My main concerns are dark circles and dryness around my eye area, which I felt improved after a few days. The eye area just visibly looks a lot brighter and more hydrated.”
Phyto Nature Firming Serum and Oxygen Cream Review:
“After just one week, I felt my skin looked more radiant and revitalised after using the serum and moisturiser. Over the four weeks, my skin texture improved, dryness around my nose area disappeared, and my skin looked more hydrated and smoother. I have not noticed much difference in my wrinkles, especially around my forehead, as they are deep lines, but my skin looks more lifted. The serum is slightly too greasy for my oily skin type, but I’m so excited to keep using the cream and seeing more improved results, as I know it will only get better overtime.”
