Summer Breakouts? We've got the detox

PCA SKIN just released the ultimate pore perfecting duo that will save your skin from all that nasty summer build up! First, deep clean pores with their new Detoxifying Mask that uses Japanese white charcoal and kaolin clay to draw out impurities and clear skin. Next, refine pores with the Pore Refining Treatment which purifies using 3 types of exfoliation: cellular, physical and enzymatic.
