Zinc PCA: Why haven’t you heard of this before?

Zinc PCA may not be a buzzword (yet), but it deserves a spotlight. This ingredient is a gentle powerhouse for acne-prone skin, especially when everything else has failed you. At HiPer, we’re shining a light on Zinc PCA because it does what most harsh acne treatments don’t — it balances oil, soothes inflammation, supports your microbiome, and targets acne marks and pigmentation.

🧪 What is Zinc PCA?

Zinc PCA is a combination of zinc, known for its antibacterial and oil-regulating properties, and PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), a natural moisturizing factor found in human skin. Together, they make an ingredient that:

• Reduces excess sebum without drying you out

• Fights acne-causing bacteria like Cutibacterium acnes

• Calms inflammation and redness

• Fades acne marks and improves uneven pigmentation

• Maintains hydration while healing breakouts

🤔 Why Haven’t You Heard of It?

Zinc PCA doesn’t get the hype that salicylic acid or retinoids do. Why? Because it’s quiet but effective. It doesn’t sting, peel, or irritate. It just works steadily in the background, making it ideal for those with sensitive, reactive, or persistently oily skin. Skincare should be smart — not sensational.

💡 Why We Use It at HiPer

HiPer’s Post Breakout Serum features Zinc PCA because it:

• Speeds up healing of acne flare-ups

• Targets oily zones without disturbing dry areas

• Soothes redness and post-breakout irritation

• Fades dark spots and pigmentation

• Is gentle enough to use daily

In short, it’s the kind of skincare intelligence we believe in.

🧴 How to Use Zinc PCA

Zinc PCA works best when used consistently as part of your routine. At HiPer, we’ve paired it with other calming and biotic-rich ingredients in our post-breakout and oil-control formulations. After cleansing, apply a serum or gel with Zinc PCA and follow with moisturizer.
