PCA Skin Clearskin is a lightweight moisturizer that balances oily and acne-prone skin using 4% niacinamide. The fragrance-free formula hydrates without heaviness, calms redness, and helps fade the marks left behind by breakouts, which makes it a daily moisturizer built for skin that usually finds moisturizers too rich.

What Is Clearskin Moisturizer?

Clearskin is PCA's moisturizer for skin that breaks out. Most moisturizers for oily skin either strip it or sit heavy on top. Clearskin takes a different route: a quick-absorbing, non-oily texture that hydrates while its actives work to control shine and calm inflammation. It suits normal to oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin.

How 4% Niacinamide Controls Oil

Clearskin runs on 4% niacinamide, a concentration high enough to do real work. Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that regulates how much oil the skin produces, reduces water loss so skin stays hydrated without added grease, and evens the tone left uneven by past breakouts. At 4%, it also strengthens the skin barrier, which is why this formula calms rather than irritates skin that is already reactive.

What Is in Clearskin?

Beyond niacinamide, Clearskin pairs actives that treat with actives that soothe.

• 4% niacinamide controls oil, reduces water loss, and evens post-breakout tone
• Bisabolol, from chamomile, calms the skin and holds moisture
• Retinyl palmitate (a gentle vitamin A) supports a clearer, more even complexion
• Cucumber, calendula, and borage seed oil purify and calm
• Sodium hyaluronate and aloe hydrate without weight

The formula is fragrance-free and non-oily.

Who It Is For

Choose Clearskin if your skin is oily or acne-prone and most moisturizers feel too heavy, or if breakouts leave marks you want to fade. It suits normal, oily, combination, acne-prone, and sensitive skin.

Look at a richer moisturizer instead if your skin runs dry, since Clearskin is built to be light rather than nourishing in the heavy sense. The Moisturizers range covers drier skin types.

How to Use Clearskin

Apply a nickel-sized amount to clean skin, morning and evening, after any treatment serums. In the morning, follow with SPF. Clearskin absorbs quickly and layers cleanly under sunscreen and makeup without pilling.

Where It Sits in the Routine

Cleanse, treat, moisturise with Clearskin, then protect with SPF in the morning. As a treatment-grade moisturizer, it pairs well with a targeted serum from the Serums range applied underneath, letting Clearskin seal in the active while adding its own oil control.

FAQs

Is Clearskin moisturizer good for acne-prone skin?

Clearskin is formulated for acne-prone skin. Its 4% niacinamide controls excess oil and calms inflammation, while the non-oily, quick-absorbing texture hydrates without clogging pores. It also helps fade the discoloration that breakouts leave behind, which addresses both active oiliness and the marks left afterward.

Does Clearskin contain fragrance?

Clearskin is fragrance-free, which suits sensitive and reactive skin. It relies on chamomile-derived bisabolol, cucumber, calendula, and aloe to calm the skin rather than added scent. Patch test any new active product on the inner forearm first if your skin reacts easily.

How is Clearskin different from a regular moisturizer?

Clearskin is a treatment-grade moisturizer built for oily and acne-prone skin, where most moisturizers target dryness. Its 4% niacinamide actively regulates oil and evens tone, rather than only adding moisture. The lightweight texture absorbs without the greasy feel that heavier creams leave on oily skin.
