When it comes to daily exfoliation, I’m usually an AHA tonic, twice-a-day kind of girl. My skin is pretty resilient to most ingredients, so swiping this all over my face doesn’t wreak any havoc. Or, so I thought.
The thing about those fan-fave AHA/BHA tonics, is that they’re pretty strong stuff. It’s great because they really do work but they can easily end up being overused. Twice a week is probably a better idea than twice a day as they can lead to sensitised skin as they penetrate so deeply and can end up disrupting healthy skin barriers.
Enter Medik8, with a solution. PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) are where it’s at for gentle but effective exfoliation and Press & Glow uses gluconolactone to get the job done. As the molecules are larger they focus on the upper layers of the skin and slowly release to avoid irritation, whilst also adding hydration.
That’s enough science, you want to know about the results right?
