PCA Skin Introduces Two New Professional Peels

PCA Skin, a pioneer in professional chemical peels, has introduced two new treatments: the Acne Peel and Acne Peel Plus. Specially formulated to target the four primary causes of acne, these peels offer a comprehensive solution that improves acne-prone skin with visible results from the first session.

Over three decades ago, PCA Skin, which is now a part of CP Skin Health Group, revolutionised skincare with the modified and enhanced Jessner’s peel. This blend of lactic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, citric acid, and resorcinol was designed to rejuvenate and improve acne-prone skin while promoting a smooth, radiant complexion. This innovation led to safer, more effective treatments that can be tailored to various skin types and concerns. Unique to PCA Skin, these peels self-neutralise and can be layered, allowing professionals to precisely control the treatment’s intensity and depth to ensure dramatic results without compromising safety.

“We are very excited to introduce a professional peel with advanced technology specifically designed to help improve acneic skin,” said Ewelina Lesniak, Director of Skin Health Production Development, CP Skin Health Group. “Alongside a powerful combination of AHA/BHA, we have incorporated an ingredient, often referred to as a third generation retinoid, which has been shown to target microcomedones in the skin to help prevent and reduce breakouts.”

The Acne Peel and Acne Peel Plus address all severities of acne, from mild to severe, including inflamed and non-inflamed types. They not only target visible surface issues but also tackle clogged pores that can lead to future breakouts, all while soothing and calming the skin.

Designed for mild acne and congested skin, the Acne Peel works by exfoliating, unclogging pores, balancing oil production, and treating persistent breakouts. It has been clinically proven to reduce whiteheads by 40% and overall breakouts by 36%. The Acne Peel Plus is targeted at moderate to severe acne, helping to clear active acne and prevent future outbreaks in a single session. It has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the appearance of pustules by 28% and papules by 48%.

“Acne is the most common skin concern in the U.S. with more than 50 million people suffering annually,” says Echo Sandburg, Chief Brand Officer, CP Skin Health Group. “We’ve seen many acne peels on the market claiming to improve the skin, but fall short in addressing all forms across various skin types and tones. As the leader in peels, and a brand that believes everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin, it’s necessary we equip professionals with state-of-the-art-technology to effectively treat acne.”

Both the Acne Peel and Acne Peel Plus are now available at select clinics in the UK and US. To find a treatment near you, visit pcaskin.com.
