I have been searching for low ph skin care items and you have no idea how hard it is to find the ph of products. It is nearly never listed by the makers of the products. I now have plenty of moisturizers to choose from thanks to your list. Now if I could just find a list for cleansers and sunscreens…

Is this okay to use? I was told ph should be between 5 and 5.5. I see some above are pretty low so I assume it should be ok but if I understand correct, this is for very dry skin. Am I correct?

The thing to be careful of is making sure the lotion does not contain petroleum or paraffin because typically the patient is also wearing compression garments. If the lotion has those ingredients then they break down the elastic fibers of the garments. The Circaid garments state using a skin care product with petroleum will void the warranty of the compression garment.

My husband has Lymphederma. I have read that we should use a low ph lotion daily and I do not know which one would be good?

Any thoughts?

Most Sincerely,
