Amazing for breakouts

I was hesitant to use phages but it worked for my friend who has really bad acne, Got a test and then my first serum. Texture is nice and I like that it contains liposomal vitamin C with the phage cocktail. Whenever I feel a breakout coming on, I use it, and my spots disappear in 24 hours!! This product is amazing. I always keep it in my gym bag for after workouts, too.

Odor Protocol

Going through this process has changed how I smell and, ultimately, how I feel about myself. It has changed my life, truly.

Skincare for the whole family

Truly exceptional customer service and exceptional products that WORK for the whole family! I wish this company existed when I was a teenager. My son has suffered from pretty severe acne. We tried a few solutions that had their own set of side effects, so we wanted to try something safer and more natural. The test was informative and most importantly, the active phage serum started to resolve his acne within a few weeks and improved over the last few months. As a mother, it is heartbreaking when your child has a skin issue and their confidence suffers, so this has been an amazing experience... so much so that I started to use Parallel myself for anti-aging. I have very sensitive skin and I love the blue cream. My skin feels healthier and I've gotten compliments from quite a few people already!

Entire Back Breakout Cure

I use this on my face whenever I have a breakout and love it but a few weeks ago I got my back waxed. I then exercised too soon and my entire back broke out. I had dozens of infected hair follicles. I thought what the heck and applied the face sryum to my back. In 24 hours the infections were all gone! Love this product!!
