Skin-First Formulas

Backed By Science, Not Hype

When I first stabilized vitamin C in liquid form in 1995, the world believed it was impossible. That breakthrough not only transformed skincare, it became the foundation on which Phyto-C was built — a company that grew from my small lab in New Jersey to serving more than 35 countries worldwide.

From the beginning, my mission has been clear: to create formulas rooted in science, powered by nature, and uncompromising in their integrity. Each product is backed by decades of clinical research, crafted with medical-grade ingredients, and made in fresh micro-batches to ensure purity and potency.

Today, my son, Dr. Eddie Omar, carries this legacy forward. He leads Phyto-C with the same values I began with — an unwavering dedication to science, innovation, and results that endure.

Gentle Cleanser, Annoying Pump

This is a gentle non foaming cleanser. No fragrance. Doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight which is nice for a change. My only complaint is that the pump clogs even when used twice a day which causes the product to shoot out in random directions which is annoying and wasteful. This is true for many brands but was hoping it wouldn't happen with high quality skincare such as Phyto-C. Hopefully this is a known problem and can be corrected in the future.

Thank you, Kari, for your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying the Soothing Cleanser’s gentle, non-foaming formula and how it leaves your skin feeling balanced. We appreciate you bringing the pump issue to our attention, product performance and packaging quality are equally important to us. Our team is reviewing this feedback to ensure consistent dispensing and improve future production.

Great product and not expensive at all

* THE BEST * Cleanser

The Phyto-C Soothing Cleanser is hands down the best facial cleanser that I have ever used. My combination skin gets pretty dry in the winter and can be pretty oily when it is warm, but no matter the state of my skin, this cleanser always leaves my face feeling fresh and clean, but not stripped of the beneficial natural oils. I've tried many cleansers that completely strip the skin leaving my face feeling tight and uncomfortable before the oil comes flooding back, but now I can simply use one gentle but effective cleanser year-round without having to worry about my skin getting too dried out. My husband loves this cleanser, as does my mom - it truly works well for all skin types. Can't go wrong with the Phyto-C Soothing Cleanser!!

So worth it!!

Cleansers have always been an issue for me, all the ones I used left my skin so dry and tight afterwards. This did not!!! Completely reduced my oily skin!! Smells good, makes my face so soft, refreshed and clean!! Will definitely buy again!
