Exfoliation
Breakouts
30 mins
The only peel to contain 20% Mandelic Acid, the PCA Skin Perfecting Peel is a gentle yet effective Level 1 Face Peel to resurface the skin, resulting in a smoother texture and more even skin tone. Mandelic Acid is an AHA that is effective in treating acne and hyper-pigmentation including melasma.
Your skin will be prepped with a thorough cleanse. The peel is then applied in layers and allowed to dry for 3 - 5 minutes. The peel is left on and protective after care will be applied to your skin. The whole treatment takes 30 minutes.
"I have regular PCA peels for hormonal breakouts. It is my go-to peel. It has cleared up all the superficial pigmentation and excess oil in my skin."
- Marisa, 25
