THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

Press & Clear ensures a comfortable experience alongside clinically proven clarifying results.

DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product Officer

At Medik8, we recognise that blemish-prone skin is sensitive skin. Overloading the skin (particularly sensitive, blemish-prone skin) with high strength blemish treatments can result in an impaired skin barrier leading to damage, inflammation and further breakouts.

That's why we expertly formulated Press & Clear to deliver powerful results, while supporting the skin barrier to maintain a healthy complexion.

Many other BHA toners use low pHs, following the traditional theory that for an exfoliating acid to work, it requires a low pH to ‘activate’ within the skin. This is true for many acids, but salicylic acid is unique in that it is proven to be just as effective at exfoliating the skin at a neutral pH.

Press & Clear's neutral pH of 5.5 matches that of your skin; retaining all of the power of 2% salicylic acid while making it much more suitable for the specific needs of sensitive, blemish-prone skin types.
