Canadian skincare line P{H}ASE SKIN makes its mark during a global pandemic

The brainchild of two Toronto-based female entrepreneurs who leveraged their background in skincare science, P{H}ASE SKIN is an edited, four-piece skincare line that’s formulated using innovative skin mapping and biochemistry to work in tandem with, and adapt to, the hormonal changes in a woman’s natural cycle, whether that be menstrual, perimenopausal or menopausal. Why? Because it’s no myth that hormonal fluctuations can have a big effect on our skin. For instance, there’s the P{H}ASE Kit ($82), a three-step system for women who are menstruating, which consists of the P{H}ASE 1 Nourish Hydrating Repair Serum (recommended for the first nine days of one’s cycle), the P{H}ASE 2 Glow Exfoliating Solution (for the next eight days) and finally P{H}ASE 3 Rebalance Skin Rebalancing Cream (for the last nine days). There’s also the P{H}ASE II Menopause Serum ($88) that works specifically to target collagen production and promote lost hydration in mature skin. P{H}ASE SKIN’s ingredients list is also quite impressive, with potent actives, like hyaluronic acid, ginseng root extract, aloe leaf, niacinamide and hemp-derived cannabis sativa seed oil packed into the formulas. Bonus: there’s no added colours, fragrances or parabens.

L’Oréal Paris spokeswoman Viola Davis gives a powerful, uplifting and *timely* address to the beauty giant’s Instagram followers
