Proven to deliver visibly clearer skin in just 7 days - without irritation*, discover Press & Clear.

The 2% BHA (beta hydroxy acid) toner stars salicylic and tranexamic acid, and is expertly formulated for sensitive, blemish-prone skin.

Proven to have better overall performance compared to the market-leading BHA toner,** experience Press & Clear's powerful yet gentle results for skin suffering from blemishes, oiliness, blackheads, enlarged pores and post-blemish dark marks.

Non-sticky, non-greasy, non-drying and available in a convenient pump bottle so you can press your way to clearer skin while improving skin barrier function. Also available in a sustainable refill option.

*Proven via independent consumer study conducted over 4 weeks on 50 participants with sensitive, blemish-prone skins.
**Proven via independent dual-placement consumer study conducted on 50 participants with sensitive, blemish-prone skins.

KEY BENEFITS
Get Clearer Skin - Faster
With continued use, expect fewer blemishes overall and quicker clearing of existing congestion.

Fewer Post-Blemish Dark Spots
Features 2% tranexamic acid for fast, targeted action on lingering post-blemish marks.

Dramatic Pore Reduction
Delivers powerful, proven action on the appearance of blackheads and pores.

Healthy Skin Barrier
Unlike many other BHAs, our pH-balanced formula is clinically proven to improve skin barrier function, so you get visible results without compromising your skin barrier.

Effective and Soothing
Features sake extract and aloe vera to ensure optimal comfort for sensitive, blemish-prone skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS
Encapsulated 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA)
Salicylic acid promotes a visibly clarified complexion by decongesting and exfoliating from within the pore. Innovative encapsulation technology ensures 2% salicylic acid is gradually delivered into your skin for comfortable daily use - even on sensitive complexions.

Ingredient Icon 2
2% Tranexamic Acid
An effective brightening ingredient which works to visibly even areas of uneven skin tone. This also helps to minimise the appearance of post-blemish imperfections and dark spots.

Ingredient Icon 3
Sake (pronounced 'SA-kay') Extract
Derived from fermented rice water, sake extract is rich in natural amino acids and works to hydrate the complexion while supporting the skin barrier.

Ingredient Icon 4
Aloe Vera
A naturally-derived ingredient which works to soothe sensitive, blemish-prone skin. Keeps it feeling calm and hydrated.

Directions

Step 1
Unlock by twisting the top half of the pump anti-clockwise until it clicks.

Step 2
After cleansing in the morning and/or evening, hold a facial pad (reusable is best) firmly over Press & Clear and push down 3-4 times.

Step 3
Sweep the pad over the complexion, avoiding the delicate eye area.

Step 4
To secure, twist the pump clockwise until it clicks. For Press & Clear Refill, transfer the pump saved from your previous Press & Clear bottle onto the Press & Clear Refill. Twist clockwise until it clicks into place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Favourite product [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The press and clear tonic is a staple in my skincare routine. I use it every morning and night and really smooths my skin, leaves it feeling fresh, hydrated and helps reduce redness.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great BHA leave on product I dont really like using many leave on products on my skin because its so oily and reactive however I didnt get anything but a slow and positive improvement to my breakouts. It didn’t get rid of the problem but it was much better than alternatives. I may just be one of the very few- perhaps its at this point in my life and lifestyle factors etc- but I just felt a bit greasy after using it, even though its the lightest daily exfoliant I’ve ever used- i. e it’s much more pleasant than the paulas choice one for example I prefer to just BHA exfoliate via a cleanser and maybe a peel occasionally

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My new routine I use in the morning with the clarifying foam, the clarity peptides and the balance moisturiser. I can't tell if one product is more effective than the other, but overall my breakouts don't last as long as they used to, and often they don't even get a chance to actually turn into a breakout. Obviously it also depends on my sleep and diet, but I have seen an improvement despite keeping the same lifestyle.
