Press & Glow® Medik8

The innovative alternative to stinging acid toners

Press & Glow® is Medik8’s answer to traditionally stinging and drying acid toners. Clinically proven to deliver radiant skin in just 2 weeks *. The toner gently sweeps away dead skin cells, revealing a smoother skin texture with a noticeable, everyday glow.

Medik8 is a British cosmeceutical brand that builds its entire portfolio around a single principle — CSA. Vitamin C and sunscreen in the morning, vitamin A at night. The rest of your skincare routine simply complements this core framework rather than acting as a collection of random products.

Why you'll love it

• —Gently exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing a smoother skin texture
• —Over time, helps create a visibly refined skin surface
• —Enhances the absorption of active ingredients such as vitamins C and A
• —Creates a smoother base for makeup

The ingredient that makes a difference

Press & Glow® is formulated with the power of the polyhydroxy acid (PHA) gluconolactone (pronounced gloo-cona-LAC-tone). Unlike traditional exfoliating acids that can dry out the skin, this hydrating and clarifying acid toner is gentle enough to be used twice daily — even on sensitive skin.

Also available in a Sustainability refill option.

Clinically proven

The 2-week radiant skin result * was proven in an independent clinical study of Press & Glow® conducted on 31 participants over 4 weeks.

Its place in the CSA routine

In practice, this means a straightforward 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 drives renewal. Products from other categories — cleansing, hydration, eye care — are chosen so as not to interfere with this rhythm.

How to use

• 1After cleansing in the morning and evening, hold a cotton pad (reusable works best) firmly over the Press & Glow® pump and push down 3-4 times to saturate.
• 2Sweep the pad across the face, avoiding the delicate eye area.
• 3Follow with your preferred serum and moisturiser.
• 4To unlock the pump, twist the top half anticlockwise until it clicks; twist clockwise to lock after use.
• 5The product is also available in a refill option, allowing you to reuse the pump and reduce waste.

Vitamin A products should be used exclusively in the evening and introduced gradually — starting with two to three applications a week. Sunscreen is a must every morning, regardless of the season.
