About PCA Skin
The company, founded in 1990, originally grew famous due to its PCA Skin peels, chemical peels that exfoliate the skin and provide many other benefits. After amazing success in the chemical peel realm, PCA expanded its operations to produce a variety of skincare products for all skin types, ethnicities, and conditions. PCA Skin products are results-driven, supported by scientific research, and quality assured. An in-house Ph.D. chemist helps the company stay on the cutting edge of skincare, discovering new formulas and ingredients to solve a wide range of skin concerns.
Built on the three pillars of product innovation, excellence in education, and unparalleled customer support, PCA Skin’s mission aligns perfectly with Urban You. Both companies strive to constantly improve and teach customers more about medical-grade skincare
Why Medical-Grade Skincare?
We’ve all been there… sitting in a line at the makeup store about to purchase hundreds of dollars in products for no rhyme or reason.
Maybe the colorful packaging lured you or the celebrity endorsement hooked you, but what do you really know about these products? Pretty much nothing. Some might list active ingredients, but there’s no way to tell if drugstore skincare can even deliver the promised results. Usually, you leave the store with a bag full of products that you’ll use for a little while before realizing they don’t make a difference and burying them in a growing product graveyard at the bottom of your makeup drawer.
Luckily, there’s a better way! Skincare doesn’t have to be an endless cycle of trial and error. If you’re tired of shelling out hundreds of dollars on drugstore eye creams and wrinkle solutions that are basically glorified moisturizers, it might be time to consider medical-grade skincare products.
You might think this is an expensive solution, but in the long run, medical-grade products are a much better value.
Take a pigment or tone correcting serum as an example. You could spend the next five years testing $20 drugstore versions that never improve your skin tone or correct discoloration. In no time, you’ve dropped hundreds of dollars with zero results. Alternatively, you could purchase a PCA or Skinbetter medical-grade pigment correcting serum for a little over $100. Due to its potency and concentration, the serum will last for a surprising amount of time and deliver rapid, proven results for pigmentation concerns. On top of all that, you won’t have to worry about dangerous dyes or fragrances that sometimes cause irritation in drugstore versions.
Proof is in the science
The main difference between medical-grade and drugstore skincare products comes down to two little words: clinical trials. Medical-grade skincare is backed by years of scientific research and trials with real patients. Just browse through the PCA Skin webpage, and you’ll be practically bombarded with pictures and concrete evidence of each product’s effectiveness. This research is what you’re paying for when you invest in medical-grade skincare products, but it’s worth the extra penny when you can guarantee results.
Unlike drugstore products, medical-grade skincare products also must meet FDA standards to prove their safety and effectiveness.
In contrast, over the counter skincare products can be marketed in any way without requiring FDA approval. Medical-grade products also contain higher concentrations of critical ingredients, making them faster and more effective than other options. Products that are medical-grade are even better at absorbing into the skin than drugstore versions. This makes sure not a single drop of the precious product goes to waste.
