As you know, I am on a mission to discover more about skin care – and trust me there are many out there that I have found in my search. So many brands, so many bottles, so many promises of youthfulness or restoration of younger skin – and as vain creatures, selling to a market of ageing women must be like taking candy from a baby – we will literally try ANYTHING…

I recently spent a part of my morning with the team from  PCA skin to find out more about what they are about. 

PCA or Physicians Care Alliance – was founded in 1990 and is now a world wide organization serving over 8,000 medical and aesthetic practices, with products sold in over 50 countries throughout the world. 

For 25 years, PCA skin has been, and continues to be, the authority in skin health education and a trusted innovator in the development of highly effective professional treatments and daily care products. PCA skin’s commitment to keeping physicians and licensed skin care professionals knowledgeable about the latest in skin science is integral to their company mission.

The company strives to improve people’s lives by providing results-oriented skincare solutions that are backed by science tailored to each person’s unique skin concerns. Formulating products that improve the health of your skin is a cornerstone of PCA skin.

Ingredients are hand selected for biocompatibility in conjunction with best-in-class support and delivery vehicles to ensure optimum results. Daily care and professional treatment products are developed to work together in customized regimens that deliver healthy, beautiful, younger-looking skin and are tested in clinical trials with patients through medical practices.

A deep respect for human health, animals and the environment plays an integral role in researching and developing each skincare innovation. This is why all PCA skin products are not tested on animals and are free of synthetic dyes and fragrances, mineral oil, petrolatum, lanolin and phthalates. 

Acknowledged in prominent medical textbooks as the originator of modified and enhanced Jessner’s chemical peel formulations, PCA skin’s problem-solution skincare addresses all four major concerns: acne, visible aging, sensitive skin and discoloration. Treatments and products are available through licensed skin health professionals that have been trained and certified by PCA skin in their use. 

Beginning this month, PCA skin is embarking on a new partnership in South Africa with Ascendis Health LTD. Rob Koontz, International Director of PCA SKIN, explained Ascendis was PCA SKIN’s top choice because of “their strong experience with professional skin treatments and stellar reputation for professionalism.”

Ascendis has not only been granted exclusive distribution rights to PCA SKIN, but will also continue PCA SKIN’s longstanding practices of world class professional education and sales support. In addition, Ascendis is collaborating with PCA skin to launch their newest formulations to South Africa.
