Backed by science

Innovators in healthy skin

PCA SKIN was founded in 1990 by an aesthetician and developed by a dermatologist. Our formulas are researched, designed, and executed by our in-house PhD chemist. We address each skin condition holistically, with products combining the newest and most efficacious ingredients paired with proven, tried and true ingredients to create unparalleled, visible results. We have solutions to address a wide variety of skin types and conditions.

Your daily care regimen

Your skin is unique, your products should be too

Your skin is unique, your products should be too 
Using a complete daily care regimen will help you achieve your skin care goals. All PCA SKIN daily care products are formulated to work together, no matter the combination. Regimens should include at least one product from the following categories: cleanse, correct, hydrate, and protect. To determine the optimal regimen for you, we recommend consulting with a PCA SKIN Certified Professional.

Hydrate

Your skin type will determine which hydrator is best for you based on how much moisture your skin needs. Hydrating morning and night is key.

Protect

Broad spectrum sunscreen should be applied every morning, 20 minutes before sun exposure to protect against fine lines, wrinkles, inflammation, and even skin cancer.

Cleanse

Cleansing is an essential step that removes makeup, dirt, oil, and other impurities, ensuring corrective products are absorbed into the skin.

Correct

From aging or acne, to discolorations or sensitive skin, the corrective step features specific products that are formulated to address individual skin concerns.

Mask

Using a mask on a weekly basis provides deeper exfoliation, giving your skin that extra glow.

Tone

This optional step in PCA’s daily care regimen offers additional nutrients and exfoliation to the skin.

Our difference

Embracing the science of skincare

Creating products to improve the health of your skin is a cornerstone of our mission. We pair health, beauty and science to create your unique formula to achieve the skin you deserve.

Formulating philosophy

At PCA SKIN, we use clinically-backed research and science to develop safe and effective products that deliver healthy, beautiful skin. We formulate with ingredients found naturally in the skin and body for maximum compatibility. This ensures optimal results without unnecessary side effects.

Efficacy

Formulating new products takes years to perfect. Before a new formulation is released, PCA SKIN performs extensive product testing and all finished products are tested with patients in medical practices.

Progressive approach

Effective and consistent outcomes are our priority. Your PCA SKIN Certified Professional is trained to select the correct treatment plan for you and will build from one treatment to the next to ensure your skin is ready for the next step.

Animal testing

PCA SKIN does not conduct animal testing in the development of the formula or claims support for any product. In addition, we are committed to working toward the elimination of all laboratory safety testing using animals and strive to address safety assessment requirements for our products using available databases and non-animal alternatives.

Revolutionizing professional peels

PCA SKIN is the #1 Professional chemical peel brand among estheticians. Expertly formulated professional peels are a driving force in achieving your skincare goals. At PCA SKIN, we are the leader in professional peels with more than 30 years formulating the best and most innovative professional treatments in the industry. More than one million PCA SKIN peels are performed globally each year.
 
There are a myriad of benefits from regular professional peel treatments. With formulations for all skin types – even those with sensitive skin – PCA SKIN peels improve skin concerns including acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging. 
 
As the first company to develop and market the modified and enhanced Jessner’s peel (a solution that combines lactic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, citric acid, and resorcinol), we started a revolution for a safer and more comfortable treatment with increased skin benefits. Today, our line of peels have expanded to include TCA and lactic blended peels, retinoid peels and boosters, and professional peel alternatives.
 
The professional line of treatment products is sold exclusively to PCA SKIN certified professionals, ensuring safe and effective application every time.
