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 (pronounced 'gloo-cona-LAC-tone'). 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.

*Proven via independent clinical study on Press & Glow. Tested on 31 participants over 4 weeks.

KEY INGREDIENTS

5.5% Gluconolactone (PHA)

A high-performing polyhydroxy acid (PHA), gluconolactone (pronounced 'gloo-cona-LAC-tone') works by converting into gluconic acid to gently exfoliate and hydrate the skin surface. The result is a visibly smoother, glowing and more even skin surface.
Prickly Pear Extract

A natural enzyme activator, it helps to boost the skin's natural exfoliation process as well as its rate of cell renewal. This helps to improve the visible clarity and luminosity of the skin, as well as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Acai Extract (pronounced 'ah-sigh-ee')

This natural extract can help to calm inflammation, while protecting the skin against the damaging and ageing effects of free radicals.
Aloe Vera

Aloe vera helps to reduce skin irritation, enhance the skin’s moisture retention abilities and prevent free radical damage.
Full Ingredients & Precautions

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

Polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) are different to traditional exfoliating acids as they have a larger molecule size. This means they can't penetrate as deeply into the skin layers. Instead, they work on the skin's surface, without disturbing the delicate layers that lie beneath. This ensures optimal skin cell renewal alongside minimal irritation. By breaking down the 'glue' that binds dull and dead cells to the skin surface, PHAs help to speed up cellular turnover to reveal the visibly brighter, smoother skin underneath. PHAs also boast powerful humectant properties, meaning they draw in moisture for increased hydration and a soothing sensation. The result? None of the irritating effects that are commonly associated with traditional acid toners.
