PCA Skin Expands Professional Peel Portfolio with Performance-Driven Acne Peel Duo

New to chemical peel brand PCA Skin’s portfolio is acne peel and acne peel plus.

Targeted to address the four main causes of acne, the makers say these peels represent a comprehensive approach to improving acne-prone skin, with noticeable results possible from one treatment, per the brand.

Dating back three decades, PCA Skin was the first company to develop and market the modified and enhanced Jessner’s peel, a solution that combines lactic, salicylic, kojic and citric acids and resorcinol. This started a revolution for safer and more comfortable treatments with increased skin benefits, customizable for all skin tones, types, and concern, per the brand.

A Third-Generation Retinoid

Designed to be left on the skin and formulated with advanced ingredient profiles featuring a blend of exfoliants and antioxidants to enhance stability and delivery to provide powerful skin renewal, PCA Skin peels can be layered to target various skin concerns, allowing complete control over the strength and depth of the treatment.

“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.”

Acne peel and acne peel plus are designed to treat all severities of acne, from mild to severe, and inflamed to non-inflamed conditions. Both professional peels target visible surface issues while also addressing clogged pores that can lead to future breakouts – all while maintaining calm and soothed skin.

Clinical Results

A professional peel that exfoliates, unclogs pores, helps balance oil and treats mild persistent breakouts, acne peel is ideal for mild acne and congested skin. It is clinically proven to deliver a 40% reduction in whiteheads and a 36% decrease in breakouts.

A professional peel specifically designed for moderate to severe acne, acne peel plus helps to improve active acne and future occurrence in one session. It is ideal for moderate to severe, inflamed acne. Acne peel plus is clinically proven to decrease 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,” said 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.”

PCA SKIN’s acne peel and acne peel plus are now available through select physicians and licensed skin care professionals throughout the US.
