PCA Skin Serums for Targeted Skin Improvement and Care

PCA Skin serums for targeted skincare

A serum delivers targeted ingredients in a lightweight formula and is applied after cleansing and before moisturiser. PCA Skin offers serums for dehydration, fine lines, skin ageing, pigmentation, dullness and blemishes.

The best serum is not automatically the product with the highest number of active ingredients. Begin with one serum targeting your main concern. When the skin tolerates it well, this can sometimes be combined with an additional hydrating serum.

Which PCA Skin serum suits your skin?

PCA Skin Hydrating Serum

Hydrating Serum is a lightweight moisture serum containing glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and sodium PCA. These moisture-binding ingredients help attract and retain water.

Suitable for:

• Dehydrated or tight-feeling skin.
• Fine dehydration lines.
• Dry, normal, combination or oily skin.
• Sensitive skin requiring lightweight hydration.
• Layering underneath moisturiser, sunscreen or makeup.

PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum

Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum provides intensive hydration with several forms of hyaluronic acid and ingredients that support the skin barrier. It helps the skin appear smoother, plumper and firmer.

Suitable for:

• Dry or severely dehydrated skin.
• Fine lines and wrinkles.
• Mature skin.
• Reduced suppleness.
• A skin barrier requiring additional support.

This formula provides more extensive anti-ageing and barrier care than Hydrating Serum.

PCA Skin Rejuvenating Serum

Rejuvenating Serum targets early and more advanced visible signs of ageing. It supports a smoother, firmer and more radiant-looking complexion.

Suitable for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles.
• Dull or tired-looking skin.
• Reduced firmness and elasticity.
• Preventative anti-ageing care.
• Maintenance following professional skin treatments.

PCA Skin Pro-Max Age Renewal

Pro-Max Age Renewal is an advanced peptide anti-ageing serum for visible wrinkles, mature skin and reduced firmness.

Combine it with suitable hydration, moisturiser and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen.

PCA Skin Acne Gel

Acne Gel is a targeted treatment for oily, blemish-prone and acne-prone skin. Its exfoliating formula helps care for clogged pores, blackheads and superficial blemishes.

Introduce it gradually and do not combine it with several strong exfoliating products.

What is the difference between Hydrating Serum and Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum?

Hydrating Serum is lightweight and easy to combine with other products. It suits almost every skin type when weightless hydration is required.

Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum provides more comprehensive hydration, anti-ageing and skin-barrier support. It may be more suitable when dehydration, wrinkles and barrier care need to be addressed together.

Using both serums in the same routine is not usually necessary.

Morning routine with a PCA Skin serum

1. Cleanse with a suitable PCA Skin cleanser.
2. Apply Hydrating Toner if desired.
3. Use one targeted serum.
4. Follow with an appropriate moisturiser.
5. Finish with PCA Skin broad-spectrum sunscreen.
6. Apply makeup afterwards if desired.

Evening routine

1. Remove makeup and sunscreen thoroughly.
2. Cleanse the skin.
3. Apply toner if required.
4. Use the selected serum or active treatment.
5. Finish with ReBalance, Silkcoat Balm or another suitable PCA Skin moisturiser.

Which products combine well?

• Hydrating Serum with ReBalance for lightweight hydration.
• Hydrating Serum with Silkcoat Balm for dry skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum with a suitable moisturiser.
• Rejuvenating Serum with Hydrating Serum when additional moisture is required.
• Pro-Max Age Renewal with a hydrating serum.
• An antioxidant serum in the morning with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
• Retinol in the evening with a hydrating serum and moisturiser.

Which active products should not be combined?

Avoid using several strong active formulas in the same routine:

• Retinol with Acne Gel.
• Retinol with intensive peels or exfoliating acids.
• Acne Gel with several additional exfoliants.
• An intensive home peel with retinol.
• Several strong pigmentation treatments on sensitive skin.

Alternate active nights with hydration and recovery nights to reduce the risk of dryness, redness and barrier disruption.

How should different serums be layered?

Products are generally applied from the lightest to the richest texture:

1. Cleanser.
2. Toner.
3. Lightweight hydrating serum.
4. Targeted anti-ageing or pigmentation serum.
5. Moisturiser.
6. Sunscreen during the day.

Always follow the directions for the individual product.

Which serum should you choose?

• Dehydrated skin: Hydrating Serum.
• Dry, mature skin: Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum.
• Early visible ageing: Rejuvenating Serum.
• Wrinkles and reduced firmness: Pro-Max Age Renewal.
• Blemishes and clogged pores: Acne Gel.
• Dullness and pigmentation: a suitable vitamin C, retinol or pigmentation treatment.

If you are unsure, begin with hydration and introduce one targeted active serum afterwards.
