Product Information
Full details
The PCA SKIN Acne Gel Advanced Treatment is designed for individuals seeking to actively manage existing acne and prevent future breakouts. Its key benefit lies in its dual-action formula that dries up blemishes while also working to clear pores and fade post-acne marks. A potential caveat is that it should be applied directly to blemishes, not as an all-over treatment.

FAQs
How often should I use the PCA SKIN Acne Gel?
You can apply 1 pump to blemishes in the morning and/or evening after cleansing.
Can this be used all over my face?
This is a targeted treatment designed to be applied directly to individual blemishes. It is not intended for all-over facial application.
Will this help with dark spots left by acne?
Yes, the Azelaic Acid and botanical extracts in the formula are designed to help improve the appearance of post-acne pigmentation.
What is the main active ingredient?
The main active ingredient is 2% Salicylic Acid, which helps to clear and prevent breakouts.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
While effective, it's recommended to patch test on a small area first if you have very sensitive skin. Introduce it gradually and monitor for any reaction.
How long does one 1oz bottle typically last?
Usage frequency and the number of blemishes treated will affect longevity. For targeted spot treatment, one bottle can last several weeks to months.
Troubleshooting
Skin becomes dry or flaky
Reduce application frequency or the amount of product used. Ensure you are moisturizing other areas of your face adequately.
Product seems ineffective on a blemish
Ensure you are applying directly to the blemish and that the skin is clean. Consistency is key; continue application as directed.
Mild redness or irritation occurs
Discontinue use for a day or two and then reintroduce it with less frequent application. Apply to less sensitive areas first to test tolerance.
