There is a constant battle between the naturalists and the medical cosmeceutical afficionados in skin care. The truth is that there are some natural ingredients which are effective, such as the plant hormone kinetin (found in pH Advantage kinetin Ultra), as well as some fruit acid products. Unfortunately, most of the products which are clinically tested and proven to work fall in the cosmeceutical realm.

If you look at the spectrum of all skincare, there are only a handful of ingredients which have documented efficacy for the skin: Vitamin A, C, E, Glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids, Kinetin, Peptides, Hydroquinone, Sun blocks (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, parsol), GABA, and hylauronic acid. Everything else is “untested”. We at pH will offer only those products which have clinical data. If independent research does not show efficacy, we don’t offer it. If research does show efficacy, we offer products at the most meaningful levels of pH and concentration.
