In the spirit of continuous improvement, PCA SKIN® is proud to launch the newly reformulated Clearskin, now with 4% niacinamide.

Those with oily or breakout-prone skin can fall into the habit of using harsh, abrasive products in an attempt to gain control over excess sebum production. This often leads to irritated skin, stripped of its natural oils, causing the sebaceous glands to overcompensate by producing even more sebum. This habitual cycle can result in an increase in breakouts. A consistent skin care regimen, including a skin-type appropriate moisturizer, is vital to maintain overall skin health.

One of the most exciting additions to the new Clearskin is niacinamide. This multifunctional ingredient, also referred to as nicotinamide, has similar benefits as niacin, but does not cause the flushing response commonly associated with vitamin B3. Instead, niacinamide provides calming and antioxidant benefits.

Niacinamide plays many important roles in the skin:

  • Provides potent antioxidant protection
  • Decreases redness and irritation
  • Decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Evens skin tone
  • Calming effect in breakout-prone and sensitive skin

Key ingredients include:

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) – helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Tocotrienols and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) – an excellent antioxidant that prevents free radical damage.

Bisabolol – one of the principal active compounds found in chamomile. It provides excellent calming and soothing benefits.

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) – a polyphenol antioxidant naturally found in green tea. It has been shown to prevent the formation of several highly damaging free radicals.

Glutathione – an endogenous antioxidant that is produced naturally by the body.

Grape Fruit Cell Extract – an antioxidant from the stem cells of red grapes. These plant stem cells have the proven ability to protect epidermal stem cells from UV-induced stress and damage.

Niacinamide – helps fight visible skin aging that can be exacerbated by glycation.

After cleansing and toning, apply one to two pumps to the entire face and neck twice daily for maximum results. Aging skin of any skin type and condition can be benefited by even more antioxidants by mixing Rejuvenating Serum with PCA SKIN’s C-Strength 15% with 5% Vitamin E.

The serum can also be used as a part of a lip renewal treatment. Apply one pump followed by a pea-sized amount of Silkcoat® Balm for maximum hydration. Finish with a liberal application of Peptide Lip Therapy for healthier, smoother lips.

Always follow with the appropriate PCA SKIN broad spectrum SPF product in the daytime and moisturizer in the evening. If you perform the lip renewal treatment in the daytime, remember to apply a broad spectrum SPF before applying Peptide Lip Therapy.
