Pigment Control for Oily/Acneic Skin

Daily Care Regimen

This regimen is designed for skin that may have hyperpigmentation due to repeated acne breakouts.

Note: Mild irritation may initially be experienced with use of the retinol product in this protocol and is not a sign of a negative complication. Introduce slowly, starting at once or twice a week and building up to every other night or nightly, depending on tolerance.

Morning:

  1. Cleanse with Blemish Control Bar. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
  2. Spot-treat with one to two pumps of Acne Gel to penetrate follicles to clear existing and prevent future acne lesions.
  3. Gently pat Pigment Gel® HQ Free onto the hyperpigmented areas. Allow to penetrate and dry.
  4. Apply a pea-sized amount of Vitamin b3 Brightening Serum to the entire face and neck to minimize the appearance of discoloration.
  5. Hydrate, protect from UV exposure and encourage a clear complexion with a combination of the appropriate PCA SKIN® broad spectrum SPF product and Clearskin.
  6. For the lips, apply Hyaluronic Acid Lip Booster for instant hydrating and plumping.

Note: Apply the appropriate PCA SKIN broad spectrum SPF product prior to applying Hyaluronic Acid Lip Booster to protect the lips from UV exposure.
