Aweness (read: honest) Verdict: Spoiler: yes, it helped—but not in the overpromised, too-good-to-be-true way.
What I Was Dealing With
Let’s get honest: I’ve battled uneven skin tone for what feels like forever. Not in a tragic, cry-myself-to-sleep way, but in a “why do I always look just a little tired and greyish even when I’m not?” kind of way. No matter the facial, the peel, the serum—I always felt like something was missing. That internal glow. That “light from within” thing everyone waxes lyrical about.
I didn’t expect a capsule to be the thing that finally gave me that. But here we are.
What’s Inside (And Why It Matters)
Phytobright+ is Re:erth’s newest supplement, and it’s not here to play. It uses patented technology from Japan that targets the melanin cycle at multiple points—meaning it doesn’t just block pigmentation; it helps regulate your skin’s natural process of evening things out. Think of it like gentle internal spring-cleaning.
Key ingredients include:
Proprietary Tomato Oil: Rich in carotenoids: Colorless Phytoene and Phytofluene, along with beta-carotene and zeta-carotene. Proven benefits for skin brightening, protection, and overall resilience.
Cherry Blossom Flower Extract: This proven anti-glycation agent promotes healthy collagen formation and increase skin resilience, while inhibiting AGEs.
Japanese Spring Turmeric Root Extract: This Re:erth patented ingredient suppresses tyrosinase activity by 88%, significantly reducing melanin production and enhancing the skin's natural brightness.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): Brighten the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, protect against sun damage and even help with wound healing.
Vitamin E (Alpha-Tocopherol): Antioxidant protection to help neutralise free radicals and skin barrier support to protect skin from environmental stressors and maintain hydration.
No fillers, no fluff, no weird aftertaste.
What I Noticed
For one full month, I took Phytobright+ religiously — two capsules a day, every morning post-breakfast.
What changed?
✔ My skin tone evened out in a way that even my husband (who notices nothing) commented on.
✔ The grey dullness I used to see in certain lighting? Gone.
✔ Some stubborn spots around my cheeks looked lighter—not bleached or fake, just… better.
Was I suddenly gleaming like a glazed doughnut? No. But I was glowing like someone who sleeps well, hydrates, and just got a really good facial. Except I hadn’t done any of those things. Which made me trust the supplement more.
Science You Can Trust
What really sold me (beyond my own skin) was the science. Re:erth doesn’t launch products lightly, and this one is backed by research out of Japan that studied 100 women over 12 weeks. Results showed significant improvement in pigmentation, evenness, and radiance—with zero reported side effects.
It’s also:
Clinically backed
Vegan
Made in Japan under GMP-certified facilities
And most importantly: it doesn’t promise overnight miracles. It works gradually—like all good things.
Final Thoughts
I’ll say it: Phytobright+ is the first ingestible brightening product I’ve tried that actually did what it claimed to do—gently, subtly, but noticeably. It didn’t give me a new face. It helped me like mine more.
If you, like me, have been battling an inexplicable dullness or pigmentation that never fully shifts, this might be worth your 30 days.
