I bet this is music to some of your ears, but I’m sure you’re still somewhat dubious about the title of this article.
And fair enough, I know those of you with persistent, hormonal and adult acne have tried every moisturiser under the sun – but maybe not this one.
Before I committed to writing this article, I asked a friend of mine with hormonal, acne-prone skin to try PCA Skin Clearskin 48.2g for a week and give me her feedback.
Needless to say, you’re reading this now so we must’ve had some success.
Tell Me More:
PCA Skin Clearskin 48.2g moisturiser has a non-greasy, lightweight texture specifically designed to treat, hydrate and heal normal, combination and oily skin types prone to breakouts.
- It has a concentrated formula packed with potent active ingredients
- Suitable for even sensitive skin, this moisturiser hydrates, calms & soothes
- The formula balances moisture levels & reduces redness associated with acne
- Works to reinforce the skin’s barrier & speed up the healing process
- Prevents future breakouts while still nourishing the skin
What’s In It?
Niacinamide: a calming antioxidant that helps to balance oil production, reduce water loss, improve uneven skin tone & protect the skin from environmental damage.
Vitamin A: promotes clearer skin by speeding up cell turnover, improving texture and tone at the same time.
Bisabolol: derived from chamomile, this anit-inflammatory ingredient calms the skin while attracting and retaining moisture, helping to speed up skin repair.
Lemongrass, Cucumber & Marigold Flower Oil: these plant-derived extracts help to purify the skin and prevent breakouts from occurring, while having a calming effect on aggravated skin.
The Verdict:
This friend of mine had been struggling with hormonal acne for a couple of months after a contraceptive change sent her skin into overdrive.
She told me she’d been trying to combat the constant breakouts around her chin and jawline with a drying lotion nearly every day.
So, fearing that she was making the situation worse, I told her to drop everything else and try this moisturiser instead.
When I touched base with her a week later, this was her review and results:
“I was sceptical that a moisturiser would clear up my stubborn hormonal acne, but within one application I noticed a difference. Usually, I would wake up with a new angry pimple every morning, but not the morning after using this.
Within 3 days, all the acne had calmed down and was no longer raised and red raw – and all I had left at the end of the week was scarring, not a single active pimple. I even recommended it to another friend who has the same skin concerns and she bought it right away.”
What’s Everyone Else Saying?

“This is the most amazing moisturizer one could invest in. I have been using this moisturizer for about 6 months now and it has truly done an amazing job on my once acne-prone skin, I would never switch to any other moisturizer. My skin hasn’t been this smooth in 6 years.”

“I have struggled with breakouts for a very long time and I could never find something that worked for my skin – everything seems to make my skin either breakout or turn red. This lotion combined with the creamy cleanser, however, is AMAZING! You absolutely must try it if you are still looking for a solution to your breakouts!”

“I have been using this off and on for years and finally just decided to stick with this as my main moisturizer because it is amazing, consistent and does everything a moisturizer should do. I have very sensitive acne prone skin. I have tried so many different kinds of moisturizers and continue to come back to this one because it never disappoints....
