Which PCA Skin Therapy cleanser is best suited for your skin?
PCA has several good facial cleansers, but it is of course important that you use one adapted to your skin type. In this video, I explain which cleanser is best for you to choose.
PCAskin is a brand used in America only by doctors and dermatologists because they contain so many active ingredients and in the highest possible percentages. This is important for achieving good results in terms of skin improvement and leaving the skin glowing and in top condition.
There are 3 liquid cleansers, 2 bars, one oil, 3 toners to finish your cleansing, and 1 cleanser with beads. It seems like a lot, but of course not all of it is for your skin.
I will first explain the liquid cleansers and which skin type they are for.
You have the creamy cleanser, a mild hydrating cleansing milk for normal and sensitive skin. Skin that gets red easily, or if you have couperose, those broken blood vessels you see running just under your skin.
The facial wash oily contains anti-inflammatory ingredients, making it so good for blemish-prone skin and skin with acne; it cleanses your skin thoroughly and helps with impurities, and thanks to its anti-inflammatory action, it soothes an active pimple or cyst under the skin.
The facial wash is good for thicker, dull skin or when your skin texture is not perfectly even. If you are using PCA for the first time, I usually recommend using the facial wash oily first because that cleanser is slightly gentler; sometimes the skin needs to get used to the active ingredients of PCA. Once your skin is accustomed to the facial wash oily, you can switch to this one.
Then there are 2 bars
The blemish control bar is a cleansing bar specifically for blemish-prone and acne-prone skin. You can alternate it with the facial wash oily: sometimes you feel like using a liquid cleanser, other times you prefer to cleanse with a sponge.
So the pigment bar is for skin that is sensitive to hyperpigmentation; these are dark spots on your face that become darker especially during the summer, due to the sun.
The oil is the daily cleansing oil, which you can use as a pre-cleanser before your other cleanser, for example when you are wearing more makeup or if you like to double cleanse. This oil is also good for skin with flakes; often you have skin that contains both flakes and many impurities, and you can cleanse this type of skin with the daily cleansing oil.
The makeup removing wipes no longer exist; they have been out of production since 2021.
Afterwards, you can use the smoothing toner, a good choice for pimples. It makes your skin texture look better and finer. It may tingle at first, but that is normal. It is alcohol-free and helps to make pores appear finer and removes superficial dead skin cells, which makes your skin look so healthy. An ideal lotion for skin that is slightly oilier and prone to inflammation.
The nutrient toner is also good for enlarged pores; as you get older, your pores often become more visible, which is due to the loss of firmness in your skin. It also removes superficial dead skin cells.
And as the final toner, the hydrating toner, which can also be used for sensitive skin; it ensures that your skin retains moisture better, so it is certainly also good for skin that contains fine dehydration lines.
Then I have 1 more cleansing product, the daily exfoliant; it is called 'daily', but I still always recommend using it 2 to 3 times a week; it is a deep cleanser with beads. It renews and refines the skin texture. I really find that you notice an extra glow on your skin the next day.
And the PCA cleansers are now also online with a filter, so you can filter by your skin characteristics until you find the perfect match for your skin.
