Award Winner

Clinically proven to deliver glowing skin in just 2 weeks*, Medik8's innovative answer to traditionally stinging and drying acid toners is here - Press & Glow. Press & Glow gently removes dead surface skin cells to reveal a smoother skin texture with a noticeable everyday glow. Over time, it helps to create a visibly perfected skin surface which is better at absorbing active ingredients like vitamin C and A, and creates a smoother base for makeup.

Press & Glow is formulated with the power of polyhydroxy acid (PHA) gluconolactone. Unlike traditional PHAs, which can be drying on the skin, this hydrating and refining acid toner is proven to be gentle enough for twice-a-day use - even on sensitive skin. Also available in a sustainable refill option.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

Delivers enviable skin glow without irritation/

DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product Officer

Polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) are different to traditional exfoliating acids as they have a larger molecule size. This means they work on the skin's surface, without disturbing the delicate layers that lie beneath.

This ensures optimal surface exfoliation (to promote a visibly brighter, smoother complexion) alongside minimal irritation.

PHAs also boast powerful humectant properties for increased hydration and a soothing sensation. The result? None of the irritating effects that are commonly associated with traditional acid toners.
