Hexylresorcinol, a phenolic lipid, modulates the melanogenesis pathway via tyrosinase and peroxidase inhibitionYou’ve spotted a breakout, and against your better judgement, you’ve popped it. Possibly more than once. You know it’s going to scar. But what can you do about it? Turns out, there are products for just that. We’re starting to see spot treatments that treat more than just acne, but the stubborn spot that these acne marks can leave behind. The PCA Skin Pigment Gel is one of the most well known options in this emerging category. This product contains 2% hydroquinone, which is a very potent skin lightening agent. While it is not recommended that you use this product on your entire face for longer than 2 months intervals, using it as a spot treatment is an excellent way to see all the benefits of this ingredient, without worrying about the risks associated with a full face application. In addition to the 2% hydroquinone, this product also contains azelaic acid, kojic acid, and resorcinol to boost the efficacy of hydroquinone as well as treat the underlying cause of scarring, reducing the amount of breakouts you experience in that area as well. Azelaic acid in particular is known for helping to calm the inflammation and redness that’s associated with acne to create a calmer, more even skin tone. All together, this formula is a powerhouse blend that targets and resolves stubborn hyperpigmentation caused by acne scarring.

As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness. Unfortunately, PCA Nutrient Toner includes a pretty high concentration of fragrance, which may lead to skin sensitivity.

How to Use It

PCA Skin has been developing dermatologist and esthetician approved skincare products for decades. Their science-first philosophy has led them to create some truly unique skincare products, including the PCA Hydraluxe. As the name would suggest, this face moisturizer features a distinctly luxurious feel on the skin, paired with ingredients that are just as luxurious. The formula behind this product has been tailored to suit those with anti-aging concerns including those who struggle with dryness and dehydration. This formula also features four innovative ingredients and technologies that allow this product to perform at its best. Starting off with their IQ Adaptive Hydration Technology, this complex helps to protect and reinforce the skin’s natural moisture barrier, which is essential for maintaining healthy and well moisturized skin. Secondary, snow algae helps to protect the skin as well by preventing environmental aggressors from causing skin damage over time. Finally, peony and chicory root extracts help to plump, firm, and strengthen the skin at the surface, making the tale tell signs of aging less visible with consistent usage. This product is completely fragrance free and is best suited for those with mature, dry or dehydrated skin types, as the formula itself is quite rich and nourishing and may prove to be too much for oilier skin types. The formula for this lightweight eye gel is filled to the brim with beneficial ingredients. For example, the peptide myristoyl nonapeptide-3 is one of the key ingredients. This peptide provides similar benefits as vitamin A (retinol) without irritation, such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and making the skin smoother and brighter.
