Authorized PCA Skin Retailer — Direct from PCA Skin, guaranteed authentic. A favorite among our estheticians for clients who want retinol's benefits without the usual irritation.

What Makes It Different

Formulated specifically for reactive or sensitive skin, this retinol treatment includes InflaShield™, a patented ingredient that reduces irritation from active ingredients, so you get cell turnover and anti-aging benefits without the typical redness or peeling.

Who It's For

Ideal for retinol beginners, or anyone with sensitive skin who's tried retinol before and reacted badly to it.

How to Use

In the evening, apply a pea-sized amount after cleansing. Start twice a week, gradually increasing to every other night, then nightly as tolerated. Follow with moisturizer. Wear SPF during the day since retinol increases sun sensitivity.
