PCA SKIN Acne Treatment Cream for Face - Daily Facial Spot Treatment with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide & Hydrating Lactic Acid for Acne-Prone Skin (0.5 oz)

This product line was recommended to me via a medi-spa when I had an IPL facial. As a 38 year old female with combination acne prone sensitive skin, I was scared to try a product I thought might either make me break out or react negatively. I had tried other products in the past from the drug store (Neutrogena) or beauty counter (Clinique), or online (Paula Begoun) all with mixed mediocre results. The price was a little steep, but the three week trial kit this came in let me test drive it. I used each product in the trial kit as directed. After the three weeks had passed, my skin was clearing and managing the retinol very well! The brightness, tone and texture of my skin improved daily with very visible results! I decided to invest in all the full size versions of the products in the kit, and though it was pricey, it was completely worthwhile. After two months of use, my skin is possibly the best it has ever been. I have very minimal to no breakouts. I don't have to wear much makeup at all beyond a little foundation or concealer to even out my color. Lines by my eyes and mouth are reduced. Redness is gone. Old acne scars and discolorations are fading. the texture is GREAT. I have gotten compliments on my skin lately. (You look healthy / are glowing! / look so young! You can't be 38!) I almost wish I had taken before and after photos. I cant believe it, but I actually threw out all the other non-PCA skin care products in my cabinet without hesitation. Anyway, PCA Skin is an awesome line. It does not disappoint. It is gentle yet effective. No greasiness or icky perfumes. You get what you pay for with PCA Skin.

I'm in my mid forties and dealing with acne that's worse than any time during my teens. I found this product at my plastic surgeon's office when I was in for a per-cancerous mole removal but kept whining about my middle age acne issues. This isn't magic but it really has worked wonders for me. I can use other products with so-so results but as soon as I return to pHaze 33 my face clears up. I can use most soaps with little impact - it's this cream that is making the difference. My (step) grandkids have discovered this in my medicine cabinet and as they grow through their late teens, they've all tried it and LOVE it. I should probably include this in with their stocking stuffers from now on... To use: at bedtime, wash with a good cleanser (I'm just using Noxzema these days) rinse with warm water and pat your skin with a dry or damp cloth to remove most of the rinse water. Apply pHaze 33 to areas where acne is showing, or you can feel it coming. Don't use as a preventative, if it's not their don't bother treating that area.

I don’t struggle with acne often as I’m getting older, but I still have a pimple pop up here and there and this stuff gets rid of it so quickly!! Definitely a great product to have on hand

After awhile, seems every product just becomes accustomed to my skin and stops working. No longer use this for that reason, but I used it for four years without fail. Light cream that absorbs quickly into the skin. I always used the Acne Gel until a PCA rep said most clients see much better results with this even with oily/acne prone skin like mine and she was right.

I've been using this product for almost a year now and it's always been so amazing. Whether it be a small zit you're trying to zap, or the beginning of the formation of a large cystic pimple, it'll most definitely reduce the size or pain of pimples if it doesn't get rid of them completely. I usually dab right on necessary spots after cleansing my face before I go to bed and usually they're basically gone by morning. (: And I'm not just saying that, my skin has improved significantly since using this product. I have cystic acne and I'm prone to large nodulecystic painful pimples and if I'm able to spot them under the skin soon enough if I use this it'll usually prevent the growth of it and agony of having to go through it. This product is awesome. Definitely recommend this, and all other PCA products.

I've tried many products, you name it, I've most likely tried it, (proactiv, duac, Murad, dermatologica, skinmedica, differin, epiduo, benezaclin, a bunch of stuff with SA or sulfur, and the list goes on and on) This cream works better than a lot of the prescription stuff I have tried, and it doesn't over dry your skin (which alot of the others do). When I feel a pimple forming, I put the cream on and it stops the pimple from getting bigger and it starts fading away immediately. I'm very pleased with this cream and totally recommended it because its much more affordable than the other creams and prescription creams with better results. I also really like the PCA blemish wash. It makes my acne prints fade away so fast! I also use the PCA clear skin as well.

I’ve ordered this product multiple times - the product itself is great and actually works and has given good results but Amazon sent a clearly used product and also the box was obviously in disarray as well as the tube was empty. Please be more mindful when picking orders as this one was very obviously a used product . Amazon did issue a refund thankfully but whoever picked this item needs to be re trained
