Gentle exfoliation for smoother, brighter, glowing skin.
Press & Glow is one of my favourite Medik8 toners when I want to gently exfoliate the skin without that tight, dry or uncomfortable feeling you can get from stronger acid toners.
It uses 5.5% PHA gluconolactone to gently lift away dead skin cells, helping to reveal a smoother, fresher and more radiant complexion. With consistent use, it can help improve the appearance of skin texture and tone, while creating a lovely smooth base for the rest of your skincare.
I particularly love that it is hydrating and gentle enough for sensitive skin, making it a great option for clients who want the benefits of exfoliation without being too harsh on their skin barrier.
Why I recommend it
- Helps reveal smoother, brighter-looking skin
- Gently exfoliates without the harsh feel of traditional acids
- Supports a more even-looking complexion
- Helps your skincare absorb beautifully
- Can be used alongside vitamin A as part of a well-planned routine
- Suitable for sensitive skin
- Hydrating rather than stripping
How to use
After cleansing, apply Press & Glow to the face using a reusable cotton pad or directly with your hands, avoiding the eye area.
If you're new to Press & Glow, start once a day and see how your skin responds before building up to twice daily if appropriate for your skin.
As always, I recommend introducing exfoliating products as part of a personalised skincare routine, rather than simply adding lots of actives together.
Emma’s Recommendation
This is one I recommend again and again.
I love Press & Glow because it gives you that fresh, smooth, healthy-looking glow without feeling like you've attacked your skin!
It’s a really lovely everyday exfoliating toner, particularly for clients who want brighter, smoother skin but need to be mindful of their skin barrier.
And because this is the refill, I love that you can keep your original bottle and simply refill it when you're finished — a little win for your skin and a little win for the planet.
