FAQS

Sapphō’s Brightening Serum is an outstanding solution that combats aging and brightens and improves skin tone. It is designed to work hand in hand with our Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum for boosted antiaging treatment and Ex Prūnīs Antioxidant Treatment Oil to combat ROS-aging in the skin.

The Brightening Serum is formulated with powerful ingredients to hydrate, brighten, and firm the skin. It contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radicals and environmental stressors, which can accelerate aging. Additionally, the serum is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish and revitalize the skin and boost collagen production, leaving your skin looking refreshed and luminous.

For best results, we recommend using Sapphō’s Brightening Serum each morning before applying Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum and Ex Prūnīs Antioxidant Treatment Oil.

Start by applying a small amount of the Brightening Serum to your face and neck, gently massaging it into your skin. Before it absorbs completely, follow up immediately with Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum to boost collagen production, improve skin texture and elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Finally, finish your skincare routine with a few drops of Ex Prūnīs Antioxidant Treatment Oil to deeply nourish and protect your skin against environmental stressors and free radicals.

These products in the recommended order will provide a comprehensive and effective anti-aging treatment for your skin, helping you achieve a more youthful, radiant complexion.

Sapphō’s Brightening Serum contains licorice extract, which may be a concern during pregnancy. As a precaution, we recommend switching to our Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum (hereafter HDTP Serum) if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum is a safe alternative for expecting and nursing mothers. It is formulated with a unique blend of botanical extracts free from ingredients that may be of concern during pregnancy.

Additionally, HDTP Serum is tested for toxic compounds such as Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), and Iron (Fe) to guarantee non-toxicity.

Using Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum during pregnancy will help keep your skin youthful and radiant without any risk to your health or your baby. You can follow up with our Ex Prūnīs Antioxidant Treatment Oil, which is tested for 21 toxic compounds, including heavy metals, mycotoxins, phthalates, and others.

Last but not least, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using new skincare products during pregnancy.

Our Sapphō’s Brightening Serum is formulated to complement our other skincare products, including our Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum, Ex Prūnīs Antioxidant Treatment Oil, and our line of botanical Skin Tonics and Cleansers.


When used with Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy Serum, the Brightening Serum’s powerful ingredients synergistically boost collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture and tone.

Meanwhile, our Ex Prūnīs Antioxidant Treatment Oil helps to deliver antioxidants that protect the skin against ROS-induced aging.

To get the most out of your skincare routine, we recommend using our Blue Hermēs Revitalizing Mask 2-3 times a week if you have combination or oily skin and 1-2 times a week if you have dry skin. This mask is formulated with natural ingredients, including our blue-green algae and baobab, to detoxify and soothe the skin, leaving it feeling soft and refreshed.

If your skin is dry or sensitive, but you want to brighten and tone your skin, you can substitute the Ex Prūnīs Antioxidant Treatment Oil with richer Eratō’s Multipurpose Essence in combination with our Sapphō’s Brightening Serum.

I've just finished my first sample bottle of this OH SO BEAUTIFUL serum. And my gosh ... it really is as beautiful as it sounds. It's as beautiful as the Hana Defies Time from Phaedra ... in that the scent completely captivates me. PHAEDRA BOTANICALS serums are possibly the most beautiful scents I've ever inhaled, and throughout the day, I get whiffs of the aroma. Heavenly! I loved applying this serum on in the evening without any need for an oil or moisturiser on top, because it's a true serum in the sense that it has a gel / aqueous consistency. In the morning, when applying this serum I loved applying a small amount of the PHAEDRA BOTANICALS ex prunis oil on top because I love a dewy finish. What this serum does to my complexion is nothing short of remarkable. It left my skin looking and feeling amazing. It brightens. It hydrates. It visibly improves my overall complexion.

Lately, I've been using mostly products from Phaedra Botanicals and they work so nicely together. I love to combine them and they leave my skin hydrated and brightened. This serum has an amazing scent and consistency. I love using Phaedra Botanical's soothing tonic before applying Sappho's Serum and sometimes I use Sappho's Brightening serum under the Hana Defies Time Phytotherapy serum and it works truly great together, leaving my skin soft and hydrated.

This serum is incredibly particular! It is like nothing else. The scent is very refreshing and changes gradually, as does the color. I always use it with my Ex Prunis from Phaedra Botanicals, and the two seem to work beautifully together. If you want to try something new, this is definitely worth testing.

I introduced Sapphō’s Brightening Serum into my routine every morning for the past two weeks. It wasn’t until today that the dark, stubborn spot on my cheek lightened. I apply two drops after my facial mist while my skin is slightly damp. This is proof developing a more minimalistic approach to my routine shows the results of Sapphō’s Brightening Serum!

Very surprising serum! The aroma is unique, and the serum, once applied, sinks in immediately. I always follow up with my moisturizer on top, giving me this beautiful glow. I have somewhat oily skin and it seems to prevent my breakouts nicely while having a nice brightening effect on my skin. Very unique.
