PCA 4% Retinal Peel Questions
Because this treatment features a potent 4% pure retinol concentration, visible and heavy peeling is expected for a few days following treatment. During this period, keep skin moisturized, avoid picking at peeling skin, and avoid direct sun exposure.
The PCA 4% Retinal Peel focuses on accelerating cell turnover to dramatically transform texture and overall clarity, whereas the PCA Pigment Correct Peel is specifically formulated to break down hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
Antioxidants within the formula help safeguard the skin against free radical damage while the retinol rapidly stimulates cellular renewal.
Once the active peeling phase completes over a few days, the underlying fresh skin is revealed, showing immediate improvements in smoothness, brightness, and clarity.
It is strongly recommended to pause makeup application while your skin is actively shedding to avoid irritation and allow the fresh skin barrier to heal uninterrupted.
