Medik8 Press & Glow Daily PHA Exfoliating Toner 6.7 oz — Gentle Hydration & Texture Refining

This lightweight 6.7 oz facial toner blends polyhydroxy acids with calming botanicals to refine texture and restore a refreshed, more even-looking complexion. Designed as a supportive step between cleansing and serums, Press & Glow works as a gentle exfoliant and a hydrating face tonic that fits into morning or evening routines. Its formula aims to polish the skin’s surface while preserving moisture, making it suitable for those who want regular exfoliation without irritation.

How does Press & Glow exfoliate the skin gently?

Instead of strong alpha or beta acids, Press & Glow uses PHAs, which exfoliate gradually and tend to be better tolerated by reactive or dry skin. The formulation resurfaces dead skin cells to reduce roughness and promote a smoother appearance while minimizing the risk of sensitivity.

• PHA technology provides mild chemical exfoliation with reduced irritation potential.
• Daily-use concentration supports steady renewal rather than aggressive peeling.
• Maintains the skin’s barrier function while improving texture.

What hydration and nourishing ingredients are inside?

The toner combines humectant and soothing plant extracts alongside its exfoliating acids to help the skin retain moisture and feel comfortable after application. These botanicals complement the exfoliation process by calming and nourishing the surface.

• Prickly Pear extract contributes antioxidant-rich nutrition and hydration support.
• Aloe Vera soothes and helps reduce surface tightness following exfoliation.
• Acai adds antioxidant benefits to the overall skin-conditioning profile.

Can I use Press & Glow if I have sensitive or dry skin?

Yes—this toner is formulated to be mild enough for sensitive types by relying on PHAs, which are known for being less irritating than stronger acids. The inclusion of hydrating and soothing extracts helps counterbalance exfoliation so the skin feels softer, not stripped.

• PHA-based exfoliation is designed for gentler daily use on sensitive skin.
• Non-drying, lightweight texture helps preserve moisture balance.
• Suitable as a routine toner before serums and moisturizers to avoid over-drying.

How should I fit this toner into my skincare routine?

Apply Press & Glow after cleansing and before any targeted serums or moisturizers, using a cotton pad or your palms to sweep it across the face. It works well in both morning and evening regimens, though pairing with sunscreen during daytime is recommended because exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity.

• Use after cleansing to remove residual impurities and dead cells.
• Follow with antioxidant serums or hydrators for boosted results.
• Apply SPF during the day to protect renewed surface skin.

Who is this for: Medik8 Press & Glow suits anyone seeking a gentle, everyday exfoliating toner that also hydrates—especially those with dry, reactive, or combination skin who prefer a milder alternative to stronger acids. It’s a practical choice for people who want to smooth texture and even tone while keeping their skin barrier intact, and for those building a simple, effective step between cleansing and treatment serums.
