Press & Clear™ Medik8

Press & Clear™

A gentle, microbiome-friendly daily toner formulated for blemish-prone skin. Press & Clear™ works in harmony with your skin’s natural balance—clearing and supporting it without compromising the protective barrier.

The formula combines a holistic approach to blemish prevention with active care for existing breakouts, addressing every stage of their formation.

Medik8 is a British cosmeceutical brand that organizes its entire range around one core philosophy: CSA. Vitamin C plus sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night. The rest of your skincare routine is designed to complement this framework, rather than being a collection of random products.

• —Polylysine — targets blemishes

Place in the CSA routine

In practice, this means a simple routine: in the morning, an antioxidant protects the skin from damage, a sunscreen blocks the radiation that causes this damage, and at night, vitamin A leads the repair. Products from other categories—cleansing, moisturizing, eye care—are chosen so they do not interfere with this rhythm.

How to use

• 1After cleansing in the morning and/or evening, saturate a cotton pad with Press & Clear™ and gently wipe over the face, avoiding the eye area.
• 2Allow to absorb, then follow with your preferred serum and moisturizer.
• 3For those new to the product, we recommend starting with once-daily application to observe skin response, then gradually increasing to twice daily if well tolerated.
• 4Avoid sun exposure without adequate sun protection while using this product.
• 5Regular use of Press & Clear™ helps maintain clear, radiant, and healthy-looking skin, minimizing the appearance of pores and reducing imperfections.

Vitamin A products should be used exclusively in the evening and introduced gradually—starting with two to three applications per week. Always apply SPF in the morning, regardless of the season.
