Why choose PCA skin skincare?
PCA skin is one of the world's leading professional skincare brands, used by licensed professionals for both daily skincare and clinical treatments. The brand's formulas are developed by PhD chemists in accordance with pharmaceutical-grade standards, and all professional treatment products are available exclusively through PCA SKIN-certified professionals. The brand performs more than one million professional peels annually in over 35 countries.
The collection includes products that provide:
- Excellence in the tradition of clinical peels. The modified Jessner's peel formula — a combination of lactic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid and citric acid — is PCA skin's founding innovation, surpassing the original formulation in safety and efficacy and documented in medical textbooks.
- Precise active-ingredient delivery with OmniSome®. Pharmaceutical-grade multilayer encapsulation releases active ingredients in two stages — immediate action on the skin's surface followed by gradual penetration over 10 hours — reducing irritation and increasing efficacy.
- Targeted retinol therapy. Four OmniSome-stabilised retinol formulas — for ageing, pigmentation, acne and sensitive skin — deliver dermatologist-recommended clinical-strength vitamin A efficacy with minimal irritation.
- Hyperpigmentation correction with proven brightening agents. A combination of Niacinamide, hexylresorcinol and kojic acid in the daily skincare line reduces pigmentation and evens skin tone without the need for aggressive procedures.
The legacy of Margaret Ancira
PCA skin was founded by Margaret Ancira — a licensed aesthetician who created the first over-the-counter, clinically tested skincare line in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1990, designed specifically for doctors and licensed professionals. Her work with dermatologists and research chemists in peel formulation is medically documented, making Ancira a pioneer of modern blended chemical peel therapy. In 2004, the brand was renamed PCA SKIN, reflecting its growing global presence.
