PCA Skin Intensive Clarity Treatment 0.5 Pure Retinol Night Review

Intensive Clarity Treatment is a hydrating lotion-serum for acne-prone skin. 
The formula features salicylic acid, retinol, niacinamide, and bakuchiol to treat blemishes and increase cell turnover.  The treatment spreads easily over the skin and absorbs to a soft, nourishing finish.  With regular application, the treatment keeps skin blemish-free while it promotes a smooth, even-toned complexion.  New retinol users should limit application to 2 times per week until the skin adjusts.

PCA Skin Revitalizing Mask Review

Revitalizing Mask is a gentle exfoliating mask with papaya enzymes, fruit extracts, honey, vitamin E, and green tea.  The mask has a hydrating gel texture and a yellowish green color.  It spreads easily over the skin and can be left on for 2-5 minutes.  The mask washes off easily and leaves skin soft, smooth, and with a subtle glow.  This product has a natural herbal scent. 

PCA Skin Hydrating Toner Review

Hydrating Toner is a liquid toner with a natural rosemary scent.  The formula features apple, watermelon, and lentil fruit extracts, evening primrose oil, and a seaweed extract.  The toner helps remove excess oil, dirt, and makeup from the skin while adding moisture.  The formula leaves the skin feeling clean, soft, and lightly hydrated.

PCA Skin Intensive Brightening Treatment 0.5% Retinol Night Review

Intensive Brightening Treatment is a thin lotion-serum featuring retinol, niacinamide, hexylresorcinol, and resveratrol.  The lotion absorbs rapidly into the skin and provides lightweight hydration.  The active ingredients in the formula leave the skin visibly smoother, clearer, and brighter with regular use.  The retinol in this formula is quite potent and could cause redness and peeling.  New retinol users should begin with 1-3 applications per week until tolerance develops. 

PCA Skin Retinol Renewal with RestorAtive Complex Review

Retinol Renewal is a mild retinol treatment with a yellow gel-cream texture. 
In addition to retinol, the formula also includes moth bean extract, antioxidants, sodium hyaluronate, and other skin conditioners.  The treatment absorbs to a lightweight matte finish and provides a touch of hydration. 
The formula helps smooth and clarify the skin without excessive redness or peeling.  This treatment may not be potent enough for advanced retinol users. 

PCA Skin Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45 Review

Weightless Protection SPF 45 is an ultra-light sunscreen featuring mineral zinc oxide and a chemical sun filter.  The formula is also enriched with antioxidants that protect the skin from UV damage.  The sunscreen goes on easily and absorbs quickly to a sheer, non-sticky finish that feels great in hot, humid weather.  This product is fragrance-free.

PCA Skin Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel Review

Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel is a hydrating primer-like gel for the entire eye area.  The formula includes niacinamide, orange stem cells, two types of bark extracts, peptides, and other skin-friendly ingredients.  The gel goes on easily and settles to a nourishing, velvety finish that pairs well with a concealer.  The formula helps soften fine lines and firm the eye area over time, but it can cause a slight burning sensation during initial use. 

PCA Skin EyeXcellence Review

EyeXcellence is a lightweight yet emollient eye cream.  The fragrance-free formula includes grapeseed oil, botanical extracts, peptides, and other skin conditioners.  The eye cream glides smoothly over the eye area and absorbs completely within a few minutes.  The eye cream leaves the eye area soft, smooth, and supple without a heavy, greasy feel.
