Everything you need to know about PCA Skin Skin Procedure Ointment

What it is

PCA Skin's Skin Procedure Ointment is a formula designed to provide protection and comfort for skin undergoing or recovering from cosmetic procedures. It contains ingredients intended to soothe and maintain the skin's moisture, addressing areas of sensitivity.

Key ingredients and their functions

• Petrolatum - occlusive agent
• Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter - conditioning agent
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride - skin conditioning agent
• Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil - moisturizing agent
• Tocopherol - antioxidant
• Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract - skin conditioning agent
• Panthenol - humectant
• Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate - skin conditioning agent

How it works

The ointment primarily functions as an occlusive agent due to its high petrolatum content, forming a barrier on the skin to reduce water loss and protect from external elements. Shea Butter and Safflower Seed Oil contribute to skin conditioning by helping to maintain moisture levels. Tocopherol and Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract act as antioxidants, which may help in shielding the skin from oxidative stress. Panthenol adds humectant properties to attract moisture, while Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate supports overall skin conditioning. This combination of ingredients is designed to keep the skin moisturized and protected, potentially leading to a more comfortable recovery post-procedure.
