Zinc Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (PCA)

What Is Zinc Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (PCA)?

Zinc PCA is a humectant (attracts and retains water) that combines Zinc, known for its healing, antibacterial and oil balancing properties, with PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid) an amino acid that naturally occurs within the skin without blocking pores.  

The Benefits Of Zinc PCA For Skin

Zinc PCA is a valuable ingredient when treating acne-prone skin. The humectant PCA element makes it a powerful moisturiser, leaving skin hydrated, while the oil regulating and anti-inflammatory properties balance sebum and soothe any areas of irritation so common with acne breakouts.
