How It Works
Balance is key when it comes to exfoliation; overuse of powerful exfoliating acids everyday can often lead to sensitisation of the skin and premature skin ageing. PHAs are made up of larger molecules than other exfoliating acids, meaning they do not penetrate into the skin as deeply and instead work on the surface of the skin. This makes PHAs the perfect match for those with sensitive skin, who want to achieve true daily exfoliation while keeping their skin barrier healthy.
1. Gluconolactone is a high-performing PHA which breaks down the glue between dead skin cells so they are shed off with ease to reveal that covetable, glowing skin surface. As PHAs are humectant ingredients (water-loving), they help to hydrate the skin during exfoliation for ultimate comfort during and after use.
  
  Gluconolactone is proven to work perfectly in partnership with vitamin A[1], as it can aid the absorption of vitamin A and get the gold-standard anti-ageing ingredient to exactly where it is needed in the skin.
2. Prickly pear extract helps to boost the activity of natural exfoliation enzymes, allowing the skin exfoliation cycle to return to a more youthful pace. This again works in conjunction with vitamin A.
3. Aloe vera and acai extract use their calming properties to reduce visible redness, whilst hydrating the skin.

3. Twist the pump clockwise until it clicks to secure.
4. For Press & Glow Refill, transfer the pump saved from your previous Press & Glow bottle onto the Press & Glow Refill.

Ingredients
5.5% Gluconolactone
A high performing, water-soluble PHA, gluconolactone converts into gluconic acid to gently exfoliate and hydrate the skin, resulting in a visibly more even, smoother skin surface.

Prickly Pear Extract
A natural enzyme activator, it helps to increase the rate of desquamation of the skin, and then the rate of cell turnover. This can help improve the clarity and luminosity of the skin, as well as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aloe Vera
Ideal for reducing visible signs of skin irritation and enhancing the skin’s moisture retention properties, as well as helping to prevent free radical damage.

Acai Extract
It can help to protect the skin from free radical damage.

The Science Behind

“Polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) are a new generation of exfoliating acid. PHAs are different to traditional exfoliating acids, as they have more hydroxyl (OH) groups within their molecular structure. More OH groups make the molecule larger, so they don’t penetrate as much into the lower skin layers. Instead, they work on the skin's surface without disturbing the delicate layers that lie beneath. This ensures optimum skin renewal with minimal irritation. They work by breaking down the 'glue' that binds dull, dead cells to the surface of the skin. This helps to speed up cell turnover, while revealing a visibly brighter, smoother complexion. PHAs also have powerful humectant properties, meaning they draw moisture from the air into the skin for increased hydration. This results in a gentle, soothing sensation on the skin - without any of the drying or irritating effects that are commonly associated with everyday acid toners.”

Daniel Isaacs, Medik8 Director of Research
