PCA

Innovators in healthy skin for 25 years

PCA SKIN was founded in 1990 by an aesthetician and developed by a dermatologist. Our company is grounded on three core pillars: product innovation, excellence in education and unparalleled customer support.

PCA SKIN is the innovator of the modified and enhanced Jessner’s peel and over the past decades our line of blended chemical peels has expanded to include treatment options for all skin types, ethnicities and conditions. Over one million PCA SKIN peels are performed globally each year.

The PCA SKIN R&D, product development and quality assurance processes are above and beyond industry standards. Our formulas are researched, designed and executed by our in-house PhD chemist. We address each skin condition holistically, with products combining the newest and most efficacious ingredients paired with proven, tried and true ingredients to create unparalleled, visible results. We have a solution to address a wide variety of skin types and conditions.

For our more than 25-year history, we have been the leader in skin health education. We teach clinicians globally in the physiology of the skin and the safe and effective application of chemical peels.

Our customer support team is made up of licensed aestheticians who are always ready to help you with any skin health, product or business questions. We work diligently to consistently deliver on our promises and exceed expectations.

Your chemical peel authority

Revolutionizing professional treatments

Expertly formulated chemical peels are a driving force in helping you achieve your skincare goals. PCA SKIN® is the leader in chemical peels with more than 25 years formulating the best and most innovative professional treatments in the industry. More than one million PCA SKIN peels are performed globally each year.

There are a myriad of benefits from regular chemical peel treatments. With formulations for all skin types — even those with sensitive skin — PCA SKIN peels improve skin concerns: acne, hyperpigmentation and aging. These challenging skin concerns are improved with our perfected formulas by increasing the skin’s cell turnover rate, bringing new skin cells to the surface, reducing signs of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and clearing breakouts.

PCA SKIN was the first company to develop and market the modified and enhanced Jessner’s peel, a solution that combines lactic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, citric acid and resorcinol. This revolutionary reformulation provides safer application, a more comfortable treatment and increased skin benefits. The PCA Peel® line of modified and enhanced Jessner’s peels is in medical and aesthetic offices all over the world. PCA SKIN line of peels has since expanded to include TCA and lactic blended peels, retinoid peels and boosters, and chemical peel alternatives.

The professional line of treatment products is sold exclusively to PCA SKIN Certified Professionals, ensuring safe and effective application every time for your healthiest skin.
