KEY INGREDIENTS

  • Ingredient Icon 1
    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.

  • Ingredient Icon 2
    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.

  • Ingredient Icon 3
    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.

Reviews

Great for a deeper cleanse

"I started using Press & Glow after my clinic recommended adding something to my skincare routine to help remove dead skin cells and give my pores a deeper cleanse. I use it every other day rather than daily, and I’ve been really happy with it. It works really well, leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh, and I’ve had no issues with irritation or dryness. It’s become a regular part of my skincare routine and a great addition to my usual cleansers."

— MR W. (5/5)

Press & glow

"Travel size purchased to try the toner and see if I liked it. Size was small and will last about a week so a bit difficult to get a true idea of performance. A nice fresh feel prior to serum & moisturiser. Will purchase the full size to give this a better chance."

— Stacey G. (5/5)

Gentle and effective exfoliating toner

"I really enjoy using Press & Glow! It feels gentle on my skin and leaves it looking smooth, fresh, and brighter. I like that it exfoliates without making my skin feel dry or irritated. It’s easy to use and fits perfectly into my skincare routine. Definitely a product I would purchase again!"

— Viktoriia (5/5)

Press & Glow

"I absolutely love Medik8 Press & Glow™! ✨ It leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth, fresh and radiant without any dryness or irritation. It’s gentle enough for regular use, yet you can really notice the difference in the texture and overall appearance of the skin. A perfect addition to my skincare routine and definitely a product I’ll keep coming back to!"

— VIKTORIYA K. (5/5)

Liking it so far

"Only used it once, but not irritating at all and my skin is sensitive and I cannot tolerate any added fragrance or essential oils. Keep it up with the fragrance and essential oil-free products please, Medik8!"

— Georgia S. (5/5)

Gentle but effective

"I have very sensitive skin and can't use glycolic acid but this is the next best thing. I use it on alternative AMs and it doesn't cause reactions or disrupt my barrier. Gently smooths out the minor bumps to give me glass like complexion and compliments my Retinal perfectly"

— Claire N. (5/5)

Daily brightening

"I have been using Press & Glow for a few years now & order on repeat. It seems to help give my combination skin a glow & luminosity without drying it out. Used every morning before Daily Radiance moisturiser"

— Claire J. (5/5)

Great Gentle Exfoliant

"My skin has become incredibly sensitive in my 40's. This is the only chemical exfoliant that doesn't irritate my skin. I use this three times a week and it makes my skin so soft. I also have an exfoliant in my retinal which is why I don't use it daily. Easy to use and very gentle."

— Courtney W. (5/5)

Amazing daily toner

"I absolutely love Press & Glow. It gently exfoliates my skin without causing any irritation, leaving it smooth, hydrated, and radiant. It has quickly become a must-have in my daily skincare routine!"

— Anita S. (5/5)

Light and hydrated

"I use this cleanser in the morning when I want a lighter cleaner because it leaves my skin refreshed and hydrated. It’s a great start to my morning routine leaving a great base for the rest of my skin care ready for my makeup."

— Rita B. (5/5)
