Meet Brendan. jersey born sun-worshipper, constantly revolving between nyc & miami; trying to navigate adulthood, drink enough water, & correct years of all-too-frequent trips to the tanning salons. He’s had a lot thrown at him—from navigating the skin care needs of his mother with stage 3 breast cancer to severe rosacea. The added worry of looking like tanned leather by the time were 35 just didn’t fit the narrative. 

After hours of weekly calls with chemists/dermatologists to find skin care ingredients suitable for brendan’s mother’s skin during chemo & feeling utterly lost & hopeless to help her; after hours of youtube skincare routine tutorials & thousands spent on skincare products that just didn’t work; after hundreds of rosacea flare ups that left him self-consciously skipping dates & social events, he decided to take matters into our own hands. 

Brendan wanted to create a brand with products that would work for all skin types. he wanted to cultivate a platform that would educate the potential consumers instead of confuse them with long-winded ingredient lists & false promises. He wanted to help that next son, daughter, father, or mother that was looking to help their loved ones through seemingly impossible situations. What he wanted was a [pH]ix… so he made his own.

What Can We Help you [pH]ix?

Brendan's journey was fueled by personal struggles, including his mother's battle with stage 3 breast cancer and his own skin issues stemming from years of swimming and rosacea.

Research and Consultation: Brendan spent extensive time consulting with experts, including chemists and dermatologists, to find gentle yet effective ingredients suitable for his mother's sensitive skin during chemotherapy and radiation.

Brendan was also a swimmer growing up. After hours of two-a-days in an overly chlorinated pool and some severe rosacea, his skin could just never catch a break. He sat out on dates, family parties, and college reunions because of horrible flare ups & red-hot pain that caused him a lot of embarrassment & discomfort. He felt that he could never catch up to his own skin & felt lost that he couldn’t help his mom catch up to hers.

The internet was filled with so many products promising to help, but rarely do.  It's an abyss of information that is hard to sift through unless you’re an MD.  Brendan wanted to lend his years of cosmetic research & experiences with people to help them answer their skin concerns & share helpful tips & tricks he had learned along the way. He created this brand to shake up the skincare industry. He wanted to help people find a [pH]ix for their various skin-concerns + [pH]ix this predatory & convoluted market. Skincare is a continuous process of trial & error; the [pH]ix promises incredible, well- researched products to fit your various skin needs & as much hand holding & guidance as you need along the way.

This has really changed my skin for the better. I deal with hormonal acne and it’s extremely frustrating trying to find products that are both gentle yet effective. This whole set makes your face feel clean, soft and bright. This will definitely be a staple in my skin care routine! Skin type: Acne / Combination

After 1st application and before, I can feel my face slightly tighter. I think this product is going to be a game changer 🥰

This and the moisturizer is a killer combo! I’ll show before and after pics of just 2 days using it . So far I’ve gotten complimented 3 times on my skin! Before and after pics below

Amazing! Pictures say it all! Twenty plus years with rosacea, and these products are worth it!

I’m on my second bottle of this and it will forever be a repurchase! It has helped the fine lines near my eyes!

I love this product and I see a difference. Yes I do use it with other products that I love butI think it's worth it. I waited to do this review until I could give it time to see if it worked. I'mon my 3rd or 4th bottle. Use it 2x daily and only with one pump each.

Cleared my skin really nice, i will say I took one picture in my room and one in the bathroom so the lightings different but overall in did work and it got rid of my really bad breakout!

These products have worked miracles on my skin in just a couple of months!!! The results have certainly turned me into a loyal customer and a walking billboard! Word of mouth is a company’s best marketing tool and I literally tell everyone about these products!!!

In just two weeks I saw my fine lines and discoloration clearing up! Will most definitely buy again.

On my second bottle and see an overall difference in my skin texture and wrinkles. I love this stuff! Skin type: Dry

I LOVE this product! It makes my skin softer than it’s literally ever been and reduces my dark spots. The main difference is just how soft and glowy it makes my face, even my boyfriend noticed how much softer it is. I’ve attached before and after pictures (not sponsored at all)

I can't give a detailed review because I've only used it for 2 days, but I can say I already tell a difference. It tightens immediately and also claims to work overtime so it's a great product. Definitely will be repurchased.. They're not kidding when they say peasized amount. Before and after 2days
