New to Indeed Labs’ science-backed skin care lineup is pH-In.
Pronounced “fin,” the pH-balancing acne system combats blemishes with a three-step system. Forgoing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid—which the brand says temporarily controls a breakout, but potentially damages skin in the long run—pH-In combats blemishes with ingredients that balance skin. After three years in its lab, pH-In's chemists developed a clinically-proven, dermatologist-approved, microbiome-certified way to combat blemishes.
Three-Step System
The three-step system includes a cleanser, moisture treatment and mask. The cleanser deep cleans pores while protecting skin’s microbiome diversity. Uniquely formulated with an amino acid complex, it clears away debris while protecting skin microbiome diversity. The second step, the moisture treatment, targets and weakens acne-causing bacteria. It reduces the oil that acne bacteria feed on, weakens the bacteria’s outer shield and fights the acne bacteria inside. This targeted approach keeps good bacteria intact and protects skin’s moisture barrier. The third and final step, the mask, provides soothing benefits to irritated skin. Overnight, it works to reduce redness, irritation and dryness. At the same time, it controls excess oil production to reduce future breakouts.
Clinical Results
With continued use, pH-In's pH-balanced formula restores microbiome diversity, creating an environment unwelcoming to acne-causing bacteria. A balanced skin microbiome is vital for healthy, clear skin, according to the brand.
In an eight-week clinical study, 92% of participants saw visible improvement in the look of blemishes. One hundred percent reported that the system did not irritate their skin, and 86% saw an improved appearance of scars and post-acne marks.
“We believe that there is no such thing as problem skin, only problem products,” said Dimitra Davidson, president and COO, pH-In. “When it comes to acne, overkill has been the name of the game for years; the harshest ingredients are used to treat the smallest pimple, resulting in a vicious cycle of skin suffering. pH-In was designed to combat blemishes while improving the overall health of your skin. With just three steps, it’s a routine that lasts, for results that last.”
