Hyperpigmentation Lotion

TrueTone brightening lotion is designed to reduce hyperpigmentation and other types of skin discoloration. The formula includes brightening, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory ingredients in a lotion that is easy to apply. The lotion recipe includes inhibitors of tyrosinase, the enzyme associated with the development of hyperpigmentation. Because tyrosinase-treated skin may be more vulnerable to free radicals, the anti-oxidant component is an essential part of the mix. The lotion is appropriate for all skin types, and is meant for use in conjunction with other products in the PCA SKIN collection.

Stretch Marks, Cellulite Therapy

The electro-mesotherapy technology of the MTC-TMT System uses highly effective transdermal delivery systems for active topicals that can rejuvenate the skin and target photodamage, stretch marks, and cellulite. Rapid electrical impulses are delivered from a metal roll-on wand to the skin for a very short duration to create ultramicropores in the stratum corneum, increasing the penetration of an active substance into the stratum corneum by 600% more than passive penetration of the substance, according to the manufacturer.

Peptide, Antioxidant Combo

TNS Essential Serum combines two products from SkinMedica Inc. into one. In separate, dual chambers, the product dispenses the growth factor serum found in TNS Recovery Complex and the mixture of three novel peptides and seven antioxidants found in APS Corrective Complex. In a recent clinical study, 37 women aged 32–55 years used TNS Essential Serum twice each day for 3 months to treat mild to severe wrinkles. Most (89%) saw significant improvement in overall skin tone and texture, especially fine and coarse wrinkles and skin radiance and elasticity. The Serum is available at doctors' offices and medically supervised spas.

Rejuvenating Eye Patches

Young Essential Skincare (Y.E.S.) eye patches are applied to the skin under the eye to alleviate puffiness, dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles. The patches hydrate over time, calm irritation, leave skin perceptibly softer, increase skin elasticity, and protect skin from environmental exposure to toxic pollutants. The patches are specifically designed to treat the under-eye area. The ingredients are biomarine in origin; chitosan, derived from shellfish, has moisture-retaining effects and antioxidants. The patches also contain soothing marine extracts/minerals. A single pack (two pairs per pack) retails for $20.

Wrinkle Eradication Pads

Frownies Facial Pads are applied to the forehead and corners of the eyes and mouth before bedtime to reduce expression lines. The adhesive pads form a splint holding the visible layer of skin smooth and flat overnight while the skin cells reposition themselves. The underlying muscles assume their correct, relaxed, and natural appearance. Frownies pads are made from natural, skin-friendly materials with water-soluble dry gum adhesive on unbleached paper. Frownies for the Forehead and Between the Eyebrows are priced at $19.95 for 144 pads, as are Frownies for the Corners of the Eyes and Mouth.

Atopy Skin Barrier Cream

EpiCeram Skin Barrier Emulsion is a prescription medical device cream designed to repair the damaged skin barrier of atopic dermatitis patients. The cream is a ceramide-dominant, lipid-based, first-line treatment that provides an optimal 3:1:1 ratio of ceramides, free fatty acids, and cholesterol. EpiCeram works by creating a vapor-permeable barrier, replenishing physiologic lipids, enriching the ceramide content of skin cells, and normalizing the skin's pH. By repairing the skin barrier, the cream may decrease the need for corticosteroids and immunomodulators. It has shown efficacy comparable to a midpotent corticosteroid in a clinical trial.
