PCA SKIN Education

If you’ve been to our facial bars, you’ve met PCA SKIN. They’ve been a partner of ours since day one, but their story began long before ours. They built their legacy with a rare trifecta: the vision of an esthetician, the medical expertise of a dermatologist and the precision of an in-house PhD chemist.

As the #1 professional chemical peel brand among estheticians, PCA SKIN products have set the industry standard in clinical-grade skincare for over 30 years. Experts perform over one million PCA SKIN chemical peels globally every year, delivering true professional peel results.

We launched the PCA SKIN punch card because we want you to experience those results firsthand. Book and complete three (3) PCA SKIN Chemical Peel Enhancements between February 1 and April 30, 2026, to earn a complimentary PCA SKIN merchandise gift set ($20 value), while supplies last. A completed punch card is required for redemption.

But their range extends far beyond peels. They formulate every product in their lineup to bring that post-facial glow to your daily skincare routine.

The FACE FOUNDRIÉ HQ Product Edit

From fan-favorite cleansers to the serums we can’t stop talking about, meet the best of PCA SKIN, vetted by the team at FACE FOUNDRIÉ HQ.

PCA SKIN’s Daily Cleansing Oil is truly an “if you know, you know” product. Seriously, everyone from our estheticians to our executive leadership team (even our CEO herself!) swears by it. This lightweight pre-cleansing oil effortlessly dissolves full-face makeup, stubborn oil + daily debris. We love that it leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated, never greasy. Trust us, once you start your double cleanse with this, you’ll never look back.

Ingredients and Benefits:

It does contain tree nuts, so keep that in mind if you have allergies.

• Sweet Almond Oil: This emollient calms irritation, helps the skin retain moisture and smells amazing.
• Grape Seed Oil: This hydration hero is packed with polyphenols and linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid) to nourish your skin without feeling heavy.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): A superstar antioxidant and emollient. It protects your skin from free radical damage while keeping your cell membranes happy and healthy.

BEST FOR: Dry, oily, combo, normal and sensitive skin types focused on preventative skin concerns.

We aren’t the only ones obsessed with the Nutrient Toner. As the 2025 Marie Claire Skin Awards’ Best Toner, this powerhouse exfoliating toner works like a gentle exfoliating treatment, helping refine uneven skin texture while boosting hydration. It gently exfoliates, deeply hydrates and smooths out fine lines + wrinkles. We love it because it’s powerful enough to refine your texture but gentle enough to leave your skin feeling incredibly soft.

Ingredients and Benefits:

• Pumpkin wine: Delivers a heavy dose of Vitamins A + C while enzymes gently polish away dullness and support brighter, more even-looking skin.
• Lactic acid: Naturally found in milk and sugars, lactic acid clears out dead skin cells while acting as a humectant to pull moisture into the skin.
• Aminoguanidine: A targeted active ingredient that keeps aging skin soft + supple.

BEST FOR: Dry, oily, combo, normal and sensitive skin types focused on preventative care and improving the look of uneven skin tone.

PCA SKIN’s multi-tasking Resurfacing Serum simultaneously resurfaces, calms and hydrates the skin, helping to improve skin tone, texture + clarity. Thanks to its unique slow-release formula, you get all the brightening power of a clinical exfoliant in a daily-use serum.

Ingredients and Benefits:

• Glycolic Arginine Complex: All the power of an AHA, but gentler. This complex slowly releases glycolic acid into the skin to minimize any tingles or irritation, making it safe for even the most delicate faces.
• Lactic Acid: an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that breaks down dead skin cells while pulling moisture back into the skin for an even, hydrated tone.
• Lactobionic Acid: A gentle polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that acts as an all-in-one exfoliant, humectant + antioxidant for the skin.
• Hydrolyzed Prickly Pear Flower Extract: This botanical gem supports the skin’s natural exfoliation process and keeps your skin barrier feeling strong and bouncy.

BEST FOR: Dry, oily, combo, normal and sensitive skin types focused on improving skin texture and clarity.

If you’re looking for “Botox in a bottle,” you just found it. The ExLinea Pro Peptide Serum lifts, tightens + firms the skin exactly where you need it most, using PCA SKIN’s proprietary Peptide-Pro Complex to target expression lines. We love it because it delivers an immediate smoothing effect while working overtime to reduce wrinkle depth in the long run.

Ingredients and Benefits:

• Snap-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3): An eight amino acid peptide that calms nerve-to-muscle communication. By reducing facial muscle contractions, it significantly smooths out skin roughness and softens deep wrinkles.
• Argireline Amplified (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8): A next-generation peptide that minimizes everything from laugh lines to frown lines by helping your facial muscles relax after you express yourself.
• Polysaccharide-Amino Acid Blend: A moisture-boosting monolayer of algae, proteins + amino acids that enhance elasticity while helping your products sink in deeper.
• Bacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract: A firming marine extract that creates a contouring effect, specifically targeting sagging skin for a more “lifted” look.

BEST FOR: Dry, oily, combo, normal and sensitive skin types focused on preventing aging.

Pro-Max Age Renewal Serum is an actual trophy magnet. With back-to-back wins from Cosmopolitan and NewBeauty in 2024 and Good Housekeeping in 2025, this serum has officially reached “holy grail” status. We’re obsessed because it uses advanced technology to help your skin act (and look) younger from the inside out.

Ingredients and Benefits:

• Micro-Growth Factor Technology (MGF): Enhances skin’s collagen production using four unique signal tripeptides. These peptides support everything from keratinocyte production to fibroblast proliferation (aka the building blocks of firm skin).
• Kangaroo Paw Flower Extract: A nectar-filled organic botanical that delivers a rapid, visible reduction in sagging skin and stubborn wrinkles.
• Skin-Firming Biopolymers: Embedded with micro-algae and provides instant skin firming and visible reduction of fine lines + wrinkles.

BEST FOR: Dry, oily, combo, normal and sensitive skin types focused on maximum firming, instant smoothing + serious collagen support.
