Highlight on PCA Skin | Cosmeceutical Skin Care for All Skin Types

At Skin Deep, we carry many great skin care products we love and recommend. This month, we want to highlight PCA Skin and its wide variety of incredible skin care products.

PCA Skin has been a leader in the skin care industry since it was founded and developed by an esthetician and dermatologist in 1990. They're perhaps most well-known for their trusted chemical peels, with over one million PCA peels performed globally each year.

But for this month, we want to focus on their at-home skin care. Their clinically proven products can address nearly any skin concern you might have.

For Dry Skin and Hydration

PCA Skin provides unparalleled hydration with their line of HA products (powered by hyaluronic acid.) Their HA products produce deeper moisturization than your typical moisturizers and have powerful anti-aging benefits. 

What makes PCA’s HA products unique is that they are backed by science and clinical studies to prove their efficacy. PCA has an in-house, PhD chemist who formulates all their lines. They have several different HA products to choose from, so ask your Skin Deep esthetician which ones are right for you.

For Sensitive Skin

PCA knows that sensitive skin requires a precise course of action. For daily care, they have products that help with redness, a hydrating serum that decreases inflammation, a retinol treatment that reduces fine lines but keeps the needs of sensitive skin in mind, and more. 

We want people with sensitive skin to know to avoid products with dyes and fragrances as these tend to cause flair-ups. Stay hydrated, since dry skin can start with lack of hydration in our whole bodies, and wash residual shampoo or conditioner off your face after you shower.

For Acne

The acne line from PCA Skin is designed to minimize and prevent acne breakouts. Their foundational acne regimen includes a specially formulated cleanser, acne cream, retinol night treatment, and SPF to make sure acne-prone skin is being addressed 24/7. 

We suggest cleansing morning and night consistently, moisturize (even if you feel like you have oily skin and don’t need it), and to apply spot treatments before applying a full-face treatment for maximum effectiveness to prevent and reduce breakouts.

For Ageless Skin

It’s normal to want to reduce the signs of aging on our skin, and that’s why PCA has an at-home anti-aging regimen. Starting with ExLinea Peptide Smoothing Serum and ending with a Collagen Hydrator, PCA anti-aging products address fine lines, firm and tighten skin, even skin tone, and make skin softer and smoother.

We encourage people to be diligent about their skin care at home for best results and to wear a broad spectrum sunscreen every morning to prevent premature signs of aging. Another tips that helps prevent fine lines around the eyes is to pat products on the skin, and not pull on your skin when applying product.

For Sun Protection

You know at Skin Deep we always encourage our clients to take care of their skin in our Colorado climate with regular SPF. We love PCA Skin’s tinted skin protection, in a sheer tint for the full face and a sheer tint eye cream specifically for the under eye. We appreciate how they have a great selection of tints to cover all skin tones and that these products can be used on their own, or layered under face makeup as a primer.

For Discoloration

If you desire a more every skintone and to reduce redness or rosacea, PCA’s has an excellent line of products that can help. Their daily discoloration regimen includes a pigment gel that lifts and reduces hyperpigmentation, pumps your skin with valuable C and E vitamins, a night cream with retinol to lift and reduce dark spots, and SPF and hydration care.

One main cause of discoloration is sun exposure, so we recommend being diligent about wearing broad spectrum sunscreen whenever you’re outside and using a daily vitamin C product to reduce environmental damage.

Shop PCA Skin at Skin Deep

At Skin Deep, we choose to partner with PCA because we appreciate how PCA has corrective products for a wide range of skin concerns. Your esthetician can guide you on which PCA products would be most beneficial for your skin the next time you’re at Skin Deep for a treatment.
