Frequently Asked Questions

Calm, our deep hydration moisturizer, and Luminous, our revitalizing face oil are specifically formulated for skin that’s showing the signs of perimenopause and menopause – typically dryness, redness, fine lines, impaired barrier function and hyperpigmentation. Though many women entering perimenopause and menopause experience dry skin, you can use Phosis products whether you have dry, combination, or oily skin. 

Phosis products have undergone extensive testing to ensure safety including HRIPT (Human Repeat Insult Patch Test), which was negative, indicating that they are non-irritating. Our products are also formulated without added fragrances, essential oils, sulfates, salicylic acids, parabens or methylparabens — common irritants for menopausal skin. 

Changes in skin become evident during perimenopause when cellular turnover begins to decrease due to falling estrogen levels. Not only does skin become dryer, but it can also appear dull or less radiant. Our products are formulated to boost moisture, support barrier function, restore suppleness, and improve texture.

Yes. Changes to the skin that begin in perimenopause continue through menopause and post-menopause thereby making our products suitable for women at any stage of the menopausal journey.

Fragrance-free products have a subtle scent of the natural ingredients they contain. Our clinical trial testers noted that the products had a delicate scent that was almost undetectable.

Calm

Calm is a potent and effective moisturizer. Apply a small, pea-sized amount of face cream to face and neck, then massage until fully absorbed. Can be used morning and evening. 

Luminous

Luminous is a powerful yet featherweight oil that can be used over Calm or on its own. Start with 1-2 drops for face and add more as needed especially if using on decollete. 

In clinical trials, 93% of women saw an increase in radiance in four weeks, 97% saw smoother skin in four weeks, and 84% saw an increase in texture and smoothness after eight weeks.
