PCA Skin & EltaMD in Canada: What the Discontinuation Means for You
If you've been searching for PCA Skin or EltaMD lately and coming up short, here's the honest answer: both lines have been discontinued in Canada by their distributor. It's a nationwide change affecting spas and clinics across the country, not a decision GLOW made, and not a reflection of how well these products have worked for you.
We wanted to explain it clearly, because these products have been a trusted part of so many of our clients' routines and because we'd rather you hear it from us than piece it together from an empty shelf.
Why this happened with PCA Skin & EltaMD
This is purely a distribution change. The Canadian distributor responsible for bringing both lines into the country has chosen to discontinue them, effective immediately and until further notice. It has nothing to do with product quality, safety, or results — the same formulas many of you have loved simply aren't available to Canadian spas and clinics right now.
What it means for you
If you're on our waitlist for either line, our team will reach out personally with alternatives suited to your skin. If you've prepaid for a product or series that included PCA Skin or EltaMD, we'll contact you directly to walk through your options; an alternative product, a treatment credit, or a refund, whatever works best for you. And if you're simply wondering what to use next, that's exactly the kind of question our aestheticians love to answer.
Finding your next favourite
Here's the part we want you to feel reassured about: choosing the right products for your skin is what we do. Rather than swapping one product for whatever's nearest, we'd rather look at your skin, understand your goals, and recommend something we're genuinely confident in: the same personalized, imaging-led approach we bring to every treatment. A discontinued product is never the end of your glow journey; it's just a chance to refine it.
