Use in the evening only.

After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount to the face, avoiding the eye area and neck. Follow with an appropriate moisturiser.

Begin by applying twice weekly. Gradually increase to every second evening and then nightly only if comfortably tolerated.

Mild dryness, flaking or temporary irritation may occur while the skin adjusts. Reduce application frequency if sensitivity develops.

Do not introduce alongside other strong retinoids, intensive exfoliating acids or potentially irritating treatments on the same evening unless professionally directed.

Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential while using this product.

Suggested Routine

PM: Facial Wash → Hydrating or Calming Serum → Intensive Clarity Treatment → Clearskin

AM: Gentle Cleanser → Antioxidant or Niacinamide Serum → Lightweight Moisturiser → Broad-Spectrum SPF

Pure Retinol 0.5%

A vitamin A derivative that supports cellular renewal and helps visibly improve congestion, uneven texture, post-blemish marks and the early signs of ageing.

Salicylic Acid 2%

An oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid that helps exfoliate within the pore, loosen accumulated debris and improve the appearance of blackheads and blemish-related congestion.

Niacinamide 4%

Helps support the skin barrier, regulate the appearance of excess oil and improve visible redness and uneven tone.

Bakuchiol

A plant-derived active used alongside Retinol to provide complementary support for blemishes, uneven texture and visible signs of ageing.

Hexylresorcinol

A brightening active that helps improve the appearance of uneven tone and post-blemish discolouration.

Ethyl Linoleate

A derivative of linoleic acid that helps condition blemish-prone skin and support a more balanced-looking complexion.

Myristoyl Nonapeptide-3

A cosmetic retinopeptide that complements the visible smoothing and skin-renewing effects of Retinol.

Lilac Leaf Cell Culture Extract

Provides antioxidant support while helping improve the appearance of excess oil and blemish-prone skin.

OmniSome Delivery System

PCA Skin’s time-release delivery technology, designed to gradually deliver stabilised Retinol and help manage the intensity of the formula.

Important Cautions
Do not use during pregnancy.
Seek professional advice before use while breastfeeding.
Avoid applying to compromised, irritated or freshly treated skin.
Avoid the eye area and neck.
Introduce gradually rather than applying every evening immediately.
Allow the skin to recover before and after professional resurfacing treatments.

Perfect Pairing

For blemishes + congestion:

Facial Wash → Intensive Clarity Treatment → Clearskin

For congestion + dehydration:

Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum → Intensive Clarity Treatment → Clearskin

Apply the hydrating serum first and allow it to absorb before applying the retinol treatment.

For post-blemish marks:

Vitamin B3 Brightening Serum in the morning → Intensive Clarity Treatment in the evening → Daily SPF

Separating the brightening serum and retinol treatment between morning and evening may provide a more manageable routine for blemish-prone skin.
