PCA Skin use a holistic and scientific approach to produce professional skincare products that target and treat a range of skin types and conditions. The brand applies their intensive skincare research to the development of their products, testing efficacy and quality above the industry standards. Their products have been created to treat ageing, discolouration, rosacea, sensitive skin, acne, dry skin, pigmentation and more.
PCA Skin value human health, animals and the environment, and so none of their products are animal tested and all are free of synthetics dyes and fragrance, lanolin, mineral oil and phthalates.
At Hilldown Aestheticcs we use PCA Skin products in both our Chemical Peel and Medical Facial treatments. We also sell a range of PCA Skin products to our customers, extending the reach of their impressive results to our client base. Our PCA Skin products are ordered through a pharmacy as they are medical grade. We urge customers not to attempt to buy these products online as they cannot be verified and the pharmacy that we use is the only registered UK supplier.
3 skin conditions that our PCA Skin products treat:
Visible Ageing
The signs of ageing are wrinkles, fine lines, skin sagging and dark spots. There are in fact two types of skin ageing. The first is ‘intrinsic’, which is natural and happens over time. The second is ‘extrinsic’ occurring from external factors such as pollution, smoking, sun exposure and alcohol consumption. Whilst expression lines, mild facial wrinkling and sensitive skin are most likely caused by intrinsic ageing, it it extrinsic factors that are thought to be responsible for 85% of visible ageing. The main culprit for this is sun exposure as the sun’s rays break down the skin’s support structure.
It is imperative that when visible facial ageing is being treated, the products used must address the existing conditions but also protect the customer’s skin from future damage.
Discolouration
Discolouration occurs when one’s skin produces excess pigment which can be triggered by sun exposure, skin injuries or hormone fluctuations. It presents as visible darker spots or patches on the skin.
When seeking treatment for discolouration it is crucial to consult with a certified professional, as many ingredients in skincare products can cause further darkening or irritation to the areas that you would be aiming to lighten. It is important that the correct product type is used for your specific case.
Acne
Acne is a highly common skin concern. It occurs when there is a build up of oil in your skin, clogging up your pores and creating whiteheads, blackheads and pimples on the skin’s surface. Although it is common, its severity varies and there isn’t one product that treats all equally. It is important to talk through options of treatments and products for your needs with a professional.
