PCA SKIN Hydrocortisone Cream 1% Maximum Strength Soothing Cream 2.1 oz — Fragrance-Free, Hydrating

PCA SKIN CliniCalm 1% Maximum Strength Hydrocortisone Soothing Cream is a fragrance‑free, post‑procedure and everyday anti‑itch treatment designed to calm redness, irritation and dry, itchy skin on the face and body.

This lightweight, therapeutic cream pairs a 1% hydrocortisone formulation with skin‑supporting humectants and lipids to address irritation from professional treatments, waxing, shaving or common dermatitis triggers. It’s paraben‑free, fragrance‑free, and developed to be safe for short consecutive use up to seven days. The formula aims to soothe discomfort while helping restore the skin’s barrier without adding potential irritants.

How does this cream help skin feel less irritated quickly?

The product contains 1% hydrocortisone, a topical ingredient commonly used to reduce itching and surface inflammation. Complementary humectants and lipids help hydrate and support the skin barrier so relief feels more sustained rather than temporary.

• 1% hydrocortisone to target surface itching and irritation
• Hyaluronic acid and lipids for hydration and barrier support
• Asiaticoside to encourage a healthier recovery environment for treated skin
• Fragrance‑ and dye‑free to minimize additional irritation risks

When is it appropriate to use after professional treatments or hair removal?

Apply after non‑invasive cosmetic procedures, waxing, or shaving when skin is showing redness, tightness or itchiness. Use as directed for short consecutive courses (often up to seven days); consult your provider if symptoms persist or worsen.

• Post‑procedure use for non‑ablative treatments (follow provider guidance)
• After waxing or shaving to calm immediate irritation
• Spot treatment for localized flareups from topical allergens
• Suitable for face and body in small amounts where needed

What makes this formula suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

The cream is formulated without synthetic fragrances, dyes and parabens to reduce common triggers of irritation. Lightweight texture and targeted actives provide relief while ingredients that support the barrier help prevent moisture loss from further aggravating sensitive skin.

• Fragrance‑free and dye‑free formulation
• Barrier‑supporting blend reduces transepidermal water loss
• Non‑comedogenic texture appropriate for face and body areas
• Developed by a professional skincare brand focused on science‑backed ingredients

How should I use this cream safely and effectively?

Use a thin layer on affected areas as directed on the packaging or by your skincare professional. Avoid prolonged continuous use beyond recommended days; discontinue and consult a clinician if irritation worsens, spreads, or does not improve.

• Apply a thin amount to clean, dry skin on affected areas
• Follow label instructions for frequency and maximum consecutive days
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes
• Seek medical advice for widespread or persistent conditions
