Daily Exfoliating PHA Tonic

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.
