Two of the most common skin problems that we Pinays seriously want to address immediately are breakouts (for those in their teens and twenties) and skin aging (for those in their late twenties and above). Luckily for us, the options we have for solutions to these most pressing skin problems are ever-expanding.

It’s always best to go to our dermatologist whenever we have skin care concerns, but of course we still want the convenience of having products we can use at home for maintenance. We don’t always have the luxury of time to regularly visit our derma for regular peels and treatments, so we really have to invest in good skin care products we can administer ourselves at home.

After highlighting here the different types of peeling treatments that are best-known among PCA Skin products, launched recently in the Philippines and now available through several local dermatologists, we were glad to find out that we can now also avail of home care kits to help maintain healthy skin acquired from these treatments. PCA Skin carries a wide range of daily care solutions that can be used as your new skin care regimen or as take-home maintenance after undergoing treatment.

Two of these daily care solutions are featured after the jump.

Age Control Solution
Through the products in this line, external manifestations of skin aging are reduced and prevented. This daily care line was developed by studying the different factors responsible for the visible signs of skin aging and combining the best ingredients to prevent and correct their effects. This product solution address all factors that cause the skin to age, helping minimize fine lines and wrinkles, reduce dark circles, as well as strengthen and firm up normal to oily skin (or normal to dry skin, depending on the variant)at the cellular level.

Age Control (Oily) Solution contains Facial Wash, ExLinea Peptide Smoothing Serum, Rejuvenating Serum, Retinol Renewal with Restorative Complex, C-Strength 205 with 5% Vitamin E, eyeXcellence, Protecting Hydrator SPF 25, Apres Peel Hydrating Balm. SRP P8,060. Good for 1.5-2 months’ use.

Breakout Control Solution
This advanced system clears breakout prone skin, with targeted products that help diminish redness, clear existing blemishes, and prevent future breakouts while keeping the skin healthy and hydrated. A potent but gentle blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) found in the products speeds up skin exfoliation and rids the surface of bacteria-causing dead skin cells. The salicylic acid smoothens skin, cuts down on the abnormal shedding of cells, and acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. The lactic acid and azelaic acid present in these products likewise exfoliate, hydrate, and disinfect skin, while ingredients such as cinnamon bark, ginger root, and green burnet root actively fight bacteria and reduce oil to prevent further breakouts. It also contains Vitamin A to strengthen collagen in treated skin and reduces pigmentation.

Breakout Control Solution contains Facial Wash Oily/Problem, A&C Synergy Serum, Acne Gel, Protecting Hydrator, SPF 25, and Clearskin. SRP P4,420. Good for 1.5-2 month’s use.

PCA Skin products are currently available through certain dermatologists and private clinics only, but will soon be available through its very own boutiques around the metro. To avail of the treatments and the daily care solutions, ask your dermatologist if she has PCA products available or you may also contact PCA Skin at 9288PCA(722) or email pcaskinphi@gmail.com.
