Medik8Press & Glow
Product Description
Medik8's innovative answer to traditionally drying and stinging acid toners, Press & Glow is clinically proven to deliver glowing skin in just 2 weeks*.
Gently removing surface dead skin cells, this daily toner reveals a visibly smoother skin texture and a noticeable everyday glow. Over time, it helps to create a visibly perfected skin surface, so that the skin is better at absorbing active ingredients like vitamin A and C. It also creates the ideal smoothing base for makeup, with 97% agreeing their skin looked smoother after use.*
Expertly formulated with powerful PHA (polyhydroxy acid) and gluconolactone, Press & Glow is proven to be gentle enough to be used up to twice-a-day - even on sensitive skin. It is also available in a sustainable refill option.
*Proven via independent clinical study on Press & Glow. Tested on 31 participants over 4 weeks.
For Medik8 toners, such as Press & Glow and Press & Clear, simply remove and keep the pump from your empty bottle, then attach it to your new refill bottle. The old empty bottle can then be placed in the bin (where local recycling facilities exist). The pump is not recyclable and must be retained for reuse.

Gentle and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this in both my morning and evening routine as it so gentle and causes zero irritation. It leaves my skin feeling clean and ready to absorb serums.

After using medik8 facial wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using medik8 facial wash I use the press and glow as an extra benefit to cleansing and my skin feels really fresh and deep down clean , it does not make my skin feel dry or tight.

Press & glow
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Travel size purchased to try the toner and see if I liked it.
Size was small and will last about a week so a bit difficult to get a true idea of performance.
A nice fresh feel prior to serum & moisturiser.
Will purchase the full size to give this a better chance.

Not much of a difference
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t really noticed much of a glow or evened out of my skin tone.
I have been using it now for 3 weeks , just in the mornings before my medik 8 vitamin C and then I use the prep and clear in the evening.

Kind to my skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I changed over to the press and glow as I was previously using the press & clear as that was too strong for my face.
The quality of the press and glow is kind to my skin.
