Medik8 Press&Glow (refill) 200 ml

Perfect skin appearance

Imagine perfectly unified, hydrated and velvety skin. You too can have one thanks to Press & Glow tonic. Not only does it help renew the skin's surface, it also improves the skin's ability to absorb active substances such as vitamin C or vitamin A from creams and serums. Due to its effect on the skin, it also acts as a perfect base for make-up. In a non-irritating way, it reduces excessive pigmentation, brightens and unifies skin color, which becomes bright, velvety and calm with regular use.

Gentle exfoliation

If you want to indulge in healthy skin exfoliation, balance is key. Daily use of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) can lead to increased skin sensitivity and even premature aging due to irritation. Compared to AHA and BHA acids, PHA acids are made up of larger molecules. Due to this fact, they do not penetrate so deeply into the skin, but exfoliation occurs on the surface of the skin. That is why they are suitable for exfoliating even more sensitive skin types, which usually do not tolerate AHA or BHA acids.

Better effect of retinol

Gluconolactone is the best known PHA acid that loosens the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin while hydrating the skin. Even after exfoliation, the skin is thus nourished, fresh, without the often unpleasant sensations of tension or itching, and visibly glows with health. According to clinical studies, gluconolactone works synergistically with vitamin A, thus improving its absorbability when applied topically and thus its effectiveness.

In addition, Press & Glow contains horsetail extract, which helps stimulate the activity of natural exfoliating enzymes and thus stimulates the skin's own exfoliation cycle. Together with vitamin A, it again contributes to the cellular rejuvenation of the skin and the acceleration of the cell life cycle. Enzymes restore the skin's natural exfoliation in its upper layers, vitamin A maximizes skin regeneration in the lower layers of the epidermis. Aloe vera and acai extract soothe the skin and reduce its irritation or inflammatory processes, while moisturizing the skin.

4 active substances for bright and healthy skin:

• 5.5% Gluconolactone: A highly effective, water-soluble PHA that converts to gluconic acid in the skin. Provides the skin with gentle exfoliation and hydration, leading to a visible softening of its surface
• Fig extract: a natural enzyme activator that accelerates skin exfoliation and skin cell renewal. Thanks to this, the skin is bright and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is improved
