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. Bottom Line: PCA Retinol Cream combines pure retinol with bakuchiol and 2% salicylic acid to help decrease signs of aging while also unclogging pores and clearing away dead skin cells.

Pros Using vitamins C and E together in one formula is great since the antioxidant activity of vitamin E can actually become more powerful when combined with vitamin C.

And another 5-star review says, “I have been using this product for approximately one month. From the first use, my skin began to glow. After some time the pigmentation on my skin has begun to fade. I am very pleased. Best of all, someone came up to me and said ‘I want your skin’.” For example, one review says, “I have been using this for about 2 weeks and haven’t noticed any change in my pigment spots. I will return it in another week if I continue to see no change.” Our Verdict The antioxidant phenylethyl resorcinol provides protection against free radicals. It also inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which in turn helps to reduce the formation of dark spots. You’ll also find 2% salicylic acid in the PCA Skin Retinol Cream, which is an excellent ingredient for clearing dead skin cells and unclogging pores.

You’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. We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. It’s a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.Hexylresorcinol, a phenolic lipid, modulates the melanogenesis pathway via tyrosinase and peroxidase inhibition The serum also includes HA-Pro Complex, a proprietary blend that stimulates the production of the skin’s own hyaluronic acid and delivers 24-hour hydration.
