Description
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.

Key ingredients
5.5% Gluconolactone (PHA)
A high-performing polyhydroxy acid (PHA), gluconolactone (pronounced 'gloo-cona-LAC-tone') works by converting into gluconic acid to gently exfoliate and hydrate the skin surface. The result is a visibly smoother, glowing and more even skin surface.
Prickly Pear Extract
A natural enzyme activator, it helps to boost the skin's natural exfoliation process as well as its rate of cell renewal. This helps to improve the visible clarity and luminosity of the skin, as well as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Acai Extract (pronounced 'ah-sigh-ee')
This natural extract can help to calm inflammation, while protecting the skin against the damaging and ageing effects of free radicals.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera helps to reduce skin irritation, enhance the skin’s moisture retention abilities and prevent free radical damage.

FAQ
How do I use Press & Glow?
After cleansing, apply to a cotton pad or press directly into skin with fingertips. Allow to absorb before applying serums or moisturiser.
Why is vitamin C important in skincare?
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that neutralises free radical damage from UV exposure and pollution. It brightens skin tone, fades dark spots, and supports collagen production. For best results, use in the morning under SPF — they work synergistically to protect your skin.
What should I avoid mixing with vitamin C?
Vitamin C works best applied alone in the morning before SPF. Avoid layering with retinol or strong acids in the same routine — use them at different times of day. Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and SPF are excellent companions for vitamin C.
How long does it take to see brightening results?
Most brightening ingredients need consistent use to show visible results. Vitamin C and niacinamide may show improvement in 4-6 weeks. For stubborn hyperpigmentation, treatments with glycolic acid, azelaic acid, or retinol may take 8-12 weeks of regular use.
