How does it work?
Retinol encourages the normalization of the cell turnover process. It creates dramatic change in the skin without the irritation common with retinoic acid use. The potent retinol content accelerates cell turnover, bringing healthy cells to the surface more quickly, stimulating collagen production, and acting to increase exfoliation.
PCA SKIN® introduced an advanced delivery system called the OmniSome. This system effectively stabilized the ingredient versus a traditional liposome delivery system. The patented OmniSome transdermal delivery technology takes retinol use to the next level. Ingredients are time-released over 10 hours. Retinol and other ingredients are carried deeper into the skin. Less irritation will be experienced and better results will be yielded.
The 4% pure retinol is converted to retinoic acid in the skin, and promotes a clear complexion and even skin tone. Then antioxidant actions calm and soothe the skin, aid in skin rejuvenation, and help fight free radical damage. Additionally, other actives within the formula will be delivered deeper into the skin.
Is PCA 4% Pure Retinol Peel right for me?
Retinoid treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and conditions in need of rejuvenation, and enhances any daily care regimen. Retinol use is essential for encouraging a healthy complexion. With retinol use: healthier skin cells are brought to the surface, skin becomes brighter, smoother, and more even, and fine lines and wrinkles, breakouts, and discolorations are prevented.
What does the procedure feel like?
The procedure usually has calming and even highly soothing effects when applied to the skin.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There will be a higher degree of visible exfoliation for seven to 10 days.
