The formula pairs stabilized retinol with salicylic acid, niacinamide and retinopeptide, plus plant stem cell extracts and the OmniSome delivery system to help transport actives deeper into the skin. PCA SKIN designs this product without synthetic fragrances or parabens and recommends sunscreen during daytime use because retinol increases skin’s sensitivity to UV exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this serum help reduce breakouts and oiliness?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-action combination targets two common causes of inflammatory and non-inflammatory blemishes: buildup inside pores and sluggish skin cell turnover. Salicylic acid exfoliates inside the pore to help clear excess sebum and debris, while retinol encourages more regular cellular renewal to reduce future congestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2% salicylic acid helps exfoliate pore linings and remove trapped oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5% pure vitamin A (retinol) supports skin cell turnover and smoother texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNiacinamide helps balance oil production and support barrier function\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRetinopeptide and plant stem cell extract complement retinol for overall skin resilience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I expect when I start using it at night?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the first few weeks you may notice mild dryness, flaking or increased sensitivity as skin adapts to retinol and BHA exfoliation. These responses are common as cellular turnover accelerates; they usually settle as the skin builds tolerance. Begin slowly and follow the recommended pea-sized nightly application to minimize irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStart every other night, increasing frequency as tolerated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse a pea-sized amount for the entire face after cleansing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePair with a gentle moisturizer on drier areas if needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning to protect renewed skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the OmniSome delivery and ingredient blend improve results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmniSome delivery technology helps shuttle active molecules deeper into skin layers so they can work more effectively where congestion and cellular turnover occur.
