Medik8 Press & Glow™

“Polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) are a new generation of exfoliating acid. PHAs are different to traditional exfoliating acids, as they have more hydroxyl (OH) groups within their molecular structure. More OH groups make the molecule larger, so they don’t penetrate as much into the lower skin layers. Instead, they work on the skin's surface without disturbing the delicate layers that lie beneath. This ensures optimum skin renewal with minimal irritation. They work by breaking down the 'glue' that binds dull, dead cells to the surface of the skin. This helps to speed up cellular turnover, while revealing a visibly brighter, smoother complexion. PHAs also have powerful humectant properties, meaning they draw moisture from the air into the skin for increased hydration. This results in a gentle, soothing sensation on the skin - without any of the drying or irritating effects that are commonly associated with everyday acid toners.”
