Sponsored Feature: PCA SKIN UK Launches Retinol Treatment for Sensitive Skin

This treatment works to improve the signs of aging in sensitive skin, even rosacea. Retinol is carried deep into the skin through the patented OmniSome delivery system, while Inflacin®, ceramide and avenanthramides from avena sativa (oat) calm and soothe even the most sensitive skin types.

Application of retinol to human skin has been shown to induce epidermal thickening and cellular retinoid binding proteins characteristic of retinoic acid; this evidence supports the hypothesis that retinol acts as a pro-hormone of retinoic acid, but without significant levels of irritation. ¹ The changes in skin treated with retinol are similar to those produced by retinoic acid, but without measurable irritation. These changes include stimulation of fibroblast growth, reduction of MMP levels, stimulation of collagen synthesis² and anti-melanogenic activity. ³

In a study completed with five patients using Retinol Treatment for Sensitive Skin over a 12-week period, the investigating clinician reported 100% of patients showed positive changes in their skin with 60% of patients showing significant improvement in skin tone, texture and redness reduction. All patients showed a reduction in fine lines, and an improvement in skin texture and volume.

PCA SKINs latest innovation is already a huge hit, and has recently been named the best night cream for sensitive skin in O, The Oprah Magazine’s Fall Beauty O-Wards!
