Medik8 Press and Glow Tonic 200ml

The Medik8 Press and Glow Tonic is a gentle exfoliating toner designed to refresh and clarify the complexion. Its primary function is to remove dead surface skin cells, promoting a smoother, more radiant appearance without causing irritation. The formula utilises polyhydroxy acids (PHAs), specifically gluconolactone, which are known for their larger molecular size that allows for a slower, more gradual exfoliation process compared to some other acids. This makes it suitable for regular use, even on sensitive skin types. Key features include a hydrating blend of aloe vera and acai, which work to replenish moisture as the skin is exfoliated. The addition of prickly pear extract aims to enhance the brightening and smoothing effects of the treatment. The product is intended for twice-daily use, applied after cleansing, to prepare the skin for subsequent skincare products like serums and moisturisers. Its gentle action helps to refine skin texture, creating an ideal base for makeup application and can be effectively paired with vitamin A (retinol) treatments. This toner is best suited for individuals seeking a mild, daily exfoliant to address concerns such as dullness, uneven texture, or congestion. It fits into a regular skincare routine as a preparatory step that aims to improve product absorption and overall skin clarity. Its formulation is designed to be non-stinging and comfortable for most skin types, including those prone to sensitivity, making it a versatile option for maintaining a healthy-looking complexion.
