PCA Skin ExLinea Pro Peptide Serum is a brand new improved version of the original PCA Skin ExLinea Peptide Smoothing Serum and it promises to deliver results; just dramatically quicker and much more noticeably than the original does. Upon application, the product provides an immediate tightening 'Botox' like effect on the area/s being treated but also, when used as instructed, it gives long term results such as improving skin texture, rehydrating the skin, and creating a more defined facial contour due to the peptide heavy ingredient list. 

The Science Behind The Product

The clinical results speak for themselves: during a study containing females aged between 35 to 55, 100% of patients showed a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, 100% of patients showed a visible lifting and tightening effect, and 100% of patients showed an improvement in skin smoothness and texture! 

Formulated with 2 Neuropeptides, these are a powerful chain of peptides that affect the nerve-to-muscle communications so that the muscles can't adequately contract therefore relaxing your facial muscles. It makes its nickname of 'Botox In A Bottle' seem quite fitting! The treatment serum is suitable for anyone that is showing signs of ageing, both younger and older clients. Perfect for:

- Clients around 20+ years old who are starting to see their first facial lines which are a concern to them 

- Those considering dermal fillers and/or Botox but don't want to commit to it yet

- Those noticing that their make up is accentuating fine lines and sitting in areas affected by ageing

- Older clients who feel that their current skincare routine is not delivering the results that they need and want an extra boost 

- Those already having injectables and want to maintain the results for longer

- Ideal for those who cannot or do not want to have injectables and are looking for an alternative

My Thoughts

I really like PCA Skin products as they seem to suit my skin. I love everything I have tried so far - especially the sunscreens and Collagen Hydrator. I am mid 20's and wanted to try this treatment serum as I am starting to notice slight frown lines between my eyebrows and although probably not completely visible to somebody else, it is to me and I would like to prevent it from worsening for as long as I can! So, this came at the perfect time.

It's a very light lotion texture that feels weightless on the skin. After cleansing, I applied this directly to my areas of concern and... wow! The difference really was surprising. I didn't expect it to be that obvious. I gave the cream some time to completely absorb into my skin and afterwards, it left the area looking tight and firm as if it had been pushed back into what was its once original place. I loved the speed of results and that it offers immediate effects so that you 'feel' like the product is working but also know that you have the long-term results to come that will continue to improve the skin's surface over a longer period of time. 

Unfortunately, you can't use it all over your face and body! It is a targeted treatment and so must be kept to the affected areas. The immediate tightening results last for up to 12 hours before they need topping up with another application.

All in all, it is a little pricey but with the instant, guaranteed results you get it's completely worth it in my opinion. You have to give it a try at least once. Plus, for the small amount you would be using each day, it should last a very long time and the bottle has been designed brilliantly as you can see how much product is left. My only regret is not taking a 'before' photograph as I'm certain the difference would be evident.
