Medik8 Press and Glow PHA Daily Exfoliating Face Tonic — 6.7 oz | Gentle Hydrating, Enzyme-Activated

Medik8 Press and Glow is a daily PHA exfoliating face tonic that gently resurfaces and hydrates to reveal smoother, brighter skin.

Designed as a lightweight, non-drying daily toner, Press and Glow uses polyhydroxy acids alongside soothing botanical extracts to refine texture and even tone without stripping moisture. The formula pairs gentle chemical exfoliation with skin-nourishing ingredients so you can layer serums or makeup over a clean, comfortable base.

How does this toner exfoliate without irritating skin?

Instead of strong AHAs, this tonic relies on PHAs—which work more gradually and attract water to the skin—reducing the chance of redness or barrier damage. Medik8 combines the PHA complex with an enzyme activator to support a steady, effective exfoliation that respects sensitive skin.

• Polyhydroxy acids provide mild chemical exfoliation with lower irritation risk.
• Enzyme activator helps facilitate gentle cell-shedding for smoother texture.
• No harsh alcohols; maintains skin’s natural moisture balance.

What results can I expect when I use it daily?

Regular use helps reveal a more even complexion, reduced roughness, and a refined surface that reflects light better. Over several weeks, many users notice improved clarity and easier serum absorption, while skin feels softer rather than tight.

• Smoother skin texture within days to weeks, depending on baseline condition.
• Improved tone and reduced appearance of dullness.
• Better product layering: serums and moisturizers apply more evenly.

How should I add Press and Glow to my skincare routine?

Use after cleansing and before serums or moisturizers, morning or evening; follow with SPF during the day. Apply to a cotton pad or press into skin with fingertips, avoiding the immediate eye area, and allow it to absorb before continuing your routine.

• Apply to cleansed skin daily or as tolerated.
• Pair with antioxidant serums in the morning and reparative products at night.
• Always use broad-spectrum sunscreen after exfoliating in the daytime.

Which skin types benefit most from this tonic?

Formulated to be gentle enough for sensitive and dry skin while also supporting oily or combination types that need texture control. Hydrating actives keep moisture in while PHAs promote cell turnover, making it a versatile choice for many skin goals.

• Suitable for sensitive, dry, oily, and combination skin.
• Good for skin needing gentle exfoliation without barrier compromise.
• Beneficial for anyone wanting a smoother base for makeup and treatments.

Who is this for? Medik8 Press and Glow is ideal for people seeking daily, low-irritation chemical exfoliation that also hydrates—those who want refined texture and brighter-looking skin without the dryness often caused by stronger acids. It suits newcomers to chemical exfoliants as well as experienced users who prefer a gentler, moisture-supporting approach in their everyday toner.
