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

Medik8 Press and Glow is a daily PHA-powered exfoliating face tonic designed to gently refine texture, boost radiance, and hydrate without stripping the skin.

Combining polyhydroxy acids with a plant-rich support blend, this lightweight 6.7 oz tonic offers everyday resurfacing suited for sensitive and reactive skin types. Instead of strong AHAs or abrasive scrubs, Medik8’s formula relies on PHAs and enzyme activators to loosen dead skin cells while maintaining moisture, creating a smoother canvas for serums and makeup.

How does Press and Glow gently exfoliate without drying out skin?

Press and Glow uses PHAs—larger-molecule acids that work more slowly and sit closer to the skin’s surface—so they exfoliate while minimizing irritation. An enzyme activator supports the exfoliating action, and hydrating ingredients help preserve the skin barrier throughout the process.

• Polyhydroxy acids for mild chemical exfoliation
• Enzyme activator to enhance surface renewal
• Light, non-foaming base that avoids stripping oils
• Soothing humectants to lock in moisture

What results can I reasonably expect with regular use?

With consistent application, users typically notice a finer skin texture, reduced appearance of dullness and more even tone. The toner prepares skin for follow-up treatments, helping actives absorb better while maintaining softness rather than tightness.

• Smoother, softer skin surface
• More even-looking complexion over time
• Improved makeup application and serum absorption
• Reduced flakiness without increased dryness

Can sensitive or reactive skin types use this daily?

Yes—this formulation is intentionally gentle. PHAs are less likely to provoke redness compared with stronger acids, and the added aloe, prickly pear and acai help calm and support barrier function for everyday use.

• PHA chemistry suited to sensitive skin
• Soothing plant extracts to reduce irritation risk
• Hydrating elements help maintain barrier integrity
• Recommended routine: patch test first, then integrate gradually

How should I incorporate this tonic into my routine?

Use Press and Glow after cleansing, morning or evening, to sweep away residual impurities and gently exfoliate. Apply with a cotton pad or palms, follow with serums and moisturizer, and always use SPF by day to protect newly resurfaced skin.

• After cleansing, apply to face and neck
• Follow with targeted serums and a moisturizer
• Use daily or as tolerated; increase frequency gradually
• Apply SPF during daytime routines

Who is this for: Medik8 Press and Glow is aimed at people who want daily, low-irritation exfoliation—those with sensitive, combination, dry or aging skin seeking a hydrated, smoother complexion. It’s also suited to anyone looking for a lightweight toner that enhances product absorption and supports even skin tone without aggressive acids.
