PCA SKIN

PCA Skin (Personal Care Aesthetics) was founded in 1990 in Scottsdale, Arizona, as a professional skincare brand sold exclusively through licensed skincare professionals. The brand pioneered the modified Jessner's peel -- a milder chemical peel formulation that could be used on a wider range of skin types including darker skin tones. PCA Skin develops both professional treatment products (used in medical spas and dermatology offices) and daily care products for home use, all formulated with the same clinical rigor.
