pH Formula
pHformula – Healthy Skin Matters
Written by Günther Oliver phFormula is one of my all-time favourite brands, synonymous with my skincare practice. We’ve been in partnership for almost a decade, and year after year, they continually impress me with incredibly innovative products – both in their professional and homecare ranges. My commitment is, first and foremost, to science-backed skincare. That’s why pHformula products will always be on the top of my list when I prescribe treatments to clients. Their skincare formulations are backed by extensive scientific research and clinical studies. They leverage the power of active ingredients, carefully selected for their efficacy and safety. Each ingredient is precisely calibrated to penetrate the skin at the right depth, addressing the root causes of various skin concerns. Let’s explore this amazing brand in more detail so that you can make an informed and empowered decision for your specific skin needs. Founder’s Vision and Evolution: Beauty Meets Brains Originally hailing from South Africa, Petru van Zyl's journey has taken her across continents, shaping her into a leading figure in the skincare industry. Her extensive work in Europe, Australia, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, the UAE, Russia, South America, South Korea, and the USA exposed her to diverse skincare philosophies and practices. During this time, Petru delved deep into the realms of skin biology and cosmetic chemistry, cultivating a fervent passion for developing an innovative dermatological skin resurfacing system. Birth of pHformula Skin Resurfacing System Petru's profound interest in skin biology and cutting-edge cosmetic chemistry culminated in the creation of the pHformula skin resurfacing system. Departing from conventional chemical peelings, this revolutionary system capitalises on a distinctive mechanism of action. Designed to deliver active ingredients in a controlled and targeted manner, the pHformula system preserves the integrity of the skin's epidermis. It triggers collagen production and new skin cell generation while minimising disruption to the epidermal layer. Continued Advancements Currently headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, Petru stands as the visionary founder and CEO of pHformula, a brand that has introduced the world's first professional skin resurfacing system to be administered by skincare specialists across the globe. Petru's dedication to perpetual growth is evident as she remains at the forefront of industry progress. She consistently immerses herself in the latest advancements and often leads groundbreaking developments within the field. Beyond her role as CEO, Petru also serves as the director and tutor of post-graduate education, specialising in skin resurfacing. Her expertise extends to close collaborations with internationally acclaimed master opinion leaders, including prominent scientists, dermatologists, and plastic and aesthetic surgeons. pHformula: A Dermatological Breakthrough pHformula has emerged as a distinctive dermatological skin resurfacing system that bridges the realm of cosmeceuticals with the practice of medical professionals. The brand's groundbreaking approach has found success in over 35 countries worldwide. By introducing a novel paradigm of skincare, pHformula transcends traditional boundaries to bring forth a revolution in skin health and rejuvenation. The Role of Skin Health When your skin is healthy, its intricate layers work diligently to safeguard your body. From shielding against harmful UV rays to preventing infections, your skin's protective functions are vital to your overall well-being. However, when your skin's health is compromised, these defence mechanisms can be weakened, leaving your skin more susceptible to damage and problems. |

Product Range
The Homecare skin resurfacing products are condition-specific prescriptions to prepare, optimise and maintain the results of the skin resurfacing treatments. The products are grouped into two categories:
ACTIVE PRESCRIPTIONS - Superior Skin Resurfacing Results, pHformula is renowned for its unique "Skin Resurfacing" approach, which involves combining various active ingredients in a controlled manner to address specific skin concerns. pHformula's active prescriptions are designed to provide superior skin resurfacing results by using targeted blends of ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids. These formulations work to exfoliate, renew, and rejuvenate the skin, achieving smoother texture, reduced fine lines, and improved overall skin tone.
DAILY ESSENTIALS - Everyday UseTheir range of daily essentials caters to everyday skincare needs. Products from this range are formulated to maintain optimal skin health and protect against environmental stressors. These products can be seamlessly integrated into a daily skincare routine to ensure the skin remains balanced, hydrated, and healthy.
ABC - Vitamin Infused Moisturisers and MasksThe term "ABC" in skincare often refers to vitamins A, B, and C, which are well-known for their beneficial effects on the skin. pHformula’s ABC range consists of vitamin-infused moisturisers and masks with these vitamins or their derivatives. Vitamin A (retinol) helps with cell turnover and improving skin texture, Vitamin B (niacinamide) can regulate oil production and promote even skin tone, and Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can brighten the skin and protect it from environmental damage. They recently included a VITA D cream for superior hydration.
SERUMS - Healthy HydrationpHformula's serums are formulated to offer healthy hydration by utilising advanced ingredients that penetrate deeply into the skin. These serums can deliver intense moisture and nourishment, helping to plump and revitalise the skin's appearance and contribute to a more youthful and radiant complexion.
POINT - Peptide Ointments This range includes three luxurious peptide-rich creams that help to reduce visible signs of ageing. Peptides act like a wifi signal that activates actions by adhering to receptors on skin cells. Because peptides are naturally found in the skin, no allergic reactions have been reported to date. Results can be seen immediately upon application, and optimal results are seen after 4 weeks of continuous use.
SPOT ON - Blemish Control pHformula's "Spot On" products focus on blemish control through potent ingredients that address acne and breakouts. These formulations can help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, enhance healing and promote a clearer complexion.
DEFENCE - Superior Sun ProtectionpHformula recognises the importance of defence against UV damage and offers superior sun protection products. Their sunscreens and CC creams provide broad-spectrum coverage and advanced formulations to safeguard the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation.
SOS - Restore and ProtectIn line with the SOS concept, pHformula's products can provide intensive care and restoration for sensitive areas such as the skin, eyes, and lips. These formulations may contain soothing and rejuvenating ingredients to alleviate discomfort and protect delicate skin.
BODY - Replenish and Revitalise pHformula extends its innovative approach beyond facial skincare to address body needs. Their body products aim to replenish and revitalise the skin on the body and hands by delivering hydration and nourishment for a smoother and healthier appearance.
