The Professional Skincare Brand Estheticians Swear By — And You Can Try at Home

If you’re looking for a skincare brand that is both widely respected in medical aesthetics and recommended by licensed estheticians, dermatologists and plastic surgeons, you’re looking for PCA Skin. In fact, it’s the number one professional chemical peel brand among estheticians.

PCA stands for Physician’s Care Alliance and it has a 30-plus-year reputation in the industry for producing professional-grade chemical peels; targeted treatments like serums and moisturizers; and skincare products free of synthetic dyes and fragrances.

While you will still (and should) have to go to a licensed provider for PCA’s pro-level peels, PCA also has at-home salon-quality skincare favorites that deliver glowing, dermatologist-level results. So for that post-facial glow without booking a derm appointment, PCA Skin delivers professional-grade skincare straight to your bathroom.

Super Serum: The powerful Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum delivers both immediate and long-term hydration by enhancing your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid levels. According to PCA Skin, it can increase overall skin hydration by 55%, enhance skin plumping by 60% and reduce the appearance of fine lines by 31%. If you want to amplify your skin’s hyaluronic acid levels by 50% within 24 hours, this one will do the trick! It’s a great choice for dry, dehydrated or mature skin types, and layers beautifully under makeup or SPF.

Blemish Bar: For oily and acne-prone skin, you need the skin-purifying cleansing Blemish Control Bar. It helps clear pores of oil, softens your skin and reduces existing acne breakouts — all while helping to prevent future ones with 2% salicylic acid. PCA Skin recommends the bar for morning and nightly use. It also includes eucalyptus oil, which gives it a spa-like scent while calming irritation. It’s perfect for anyone dealing with and preventing breakouts and inflammation.

Hyper Hydration: To firm and hydrate dry and mature skin, PCA Skin’s Collagen Hydrator has olive and almond extracts that infuse antioxidants into the skin while firming. With multiple moisturizing ingredients, expect the Collagen Hydrator to hydrate, soothe and smooth your skin. Use it as the final step in your evening routine to lock in moisture overnight and wake up to plumper, softer skin.
