Glowing skin = glowing review
This product line was recommended to me via a medi-spa when I had an IPL facial. As a 38 year old female with combination acne prone sensitive skin, I was scared to try a product I thought might either make me break out or react negatively. I had tried other products in the past from the drug store (Neutrogena) or beauty counter (Clinique), or online (Paula Begoun) all with mixed mediocre results.The price was a little steep, but the three week trial kit this came in let me test drive it. I used each product in the trial kit as directed. After the three weeks had passed, my skin was clearing and managing the retinol very well! The brightness, tone and texture of my skin improved daily with very visible results! I decided to invest in all the full size versions of the products in the kit, and though it was pricey, it was completely worthwhile.After two months of use, my skin is possibly the best it has ever been. I have very minimal to no breakouts. I don’t have to wear much makeup at all beyond a little foundation or concealer to even out my color. Lines by my eyes and mouth are reduced. Redness is gone. Old acne scars and discolorations are fading. the texture is GREAT. I have gotten compliments on my skin lately. (You look healthy / are glowing! / look so young! You can’t be 38!) I almost wish I had taken before and after photos. I cant believe it, but I actually threw out all the other non-PCA skin care products in my cabinet without hesitation.Anyway, PCA Skin is an awesome line. It does not disappoint. It is gentle yet effective. No greasiness or icky perfumes.You get what you pay for with PCA Skin.

Teenage acne is gone
My 19 year old daughter has always had issues with acne. Our esthetician recommended we purchase this product to turn over skin cells quickly to remove the dead skin and unclog her pores. When she first started, her skin was rough, dry, and hard with red blotches mostly on her cheeks. She had small bumps on her forehead that never came to a head but never went away. She has used it for 6 weeks now with amazing results. Her skin is no longer dry or patchy. It is blemish free and soft to the touch. The bumps on her forehead are gone. She did not experience any flakiness while using this product but she does apply a light moisturizer over the retinol. I choked at the price but you need very little as it is thin and spreads nicely, unlike other retinols that can feel thick when applied (like the one I use). 1/2 a pump is more than enough to cover the whole face. Now her brothers are using it. You won’t be disappointed.

It worked well, but I had higher expectations
I think taking in the price and actual effectiveness, the product was pretty good — it just wasn’t amazing or anything. I would probably get it again since I noticed a reduction in blemishes, but I would like to shop around more to see if there is a better product. All in all, I definitely think it’s worth a try if you’re new to retinols as the price is relatively low and it will last you awhile — I’ve had mine for about three months now and it’s still not empty.

Worth Every Penny!
I have had acne for over 6 years, I got it first in my late teens. I have tried everything, went to dermatologists, estheticians and tried every Voo Doo magic products under the sun. I didn’t expect much trying the product but after 1 night I noticed a difference in my skin, not only my deep cystic break outs but also in the hyperpigmentation scarring from former breakouts. AFTER 1 NIGHT! I have been using it for about 3 weeks now and I can’t believe how good my skin looks! I would recommend this product to everyone suffering from break outs. It’s Gentle and effective! The packaging is a nice pump, one pump will do for your whole face (sometimes I use a pump in a half when I get excited). I use it every night with a moisturizer and it doesn’t dry out my skin. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this product!

Worth every penny
I have been using this product to treat cystic acne for two years. Itâs worth every penny and the tube lasts a couple months if not longer. It leaves my skin clear of acne and well moisturized. My breakouts have vanished and my skin is radiant!

SOOOOO DISAPPOINTED!
This has never happened to me! I used it once and it made my face swell badly. So bad, my husband commented to stop using whatever I used.The really disappointment is that I have wasted over $100 and canât get my money back because I opened it and used it

Overnight treatment
This product helps me with wrinkles and pimple outbreaks. Even though I’m 44 years old my skin is more prone to outbreaks than it was when I was a teenager. I eat mostly vegetables and lean fresh meats as well as fruits and nuts and leave dairy out (replace with almond milk etc.). I don’t know why I have to deal with this, but this product is the only one I have found that will make most blemishes go away quite quickly when applied over night.Next morning you need to wash it off because there is a warning on the package to stay away from daylight when using this treatment.Acne and Wrinkle treatment overnight – I would recommend this product.

Check the expiration date before opening.
Iâve never tried this product before so I was excited to get it this morning. I looked at the bottom of the box and the product had expired in April 2025 which was 3 months ago. Double check the box before opening or using! Returning for sure.
