KEY INGREDIENTS

Press & Glow

5.5% Gluconolactone (PHA)
A high-performing polyhydroxy acid (PHA), gluconolactone (pronounced 'gloo-cona-LAC-tone') works by converting into gluconic acid to gently exfoliate and hydrate the skin surface. The result is a visibly smoother, glowing and more even skin surface.
Prickly Pear Extract
A natural enzyme activator, it helps to boost the skin's natural exfoliation process as well as its rate of cell renewal. This helps to improve the visible clarity and luminosity of the skin, as well as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Acai Extract (pronounced 'ah-sigh-ee')
This natural extract can help to calm inflammation, while protecting the skin against the damaging and ageing effects of free radicals.
Aloe Vera
Helps to reduce skin irritation, enhance the skin’s moisture retention abilities and prevent free radical damage.
Liquid Peptides

Matrixyl® 3000 (pronounced 'ma-TRIX-ul 3 thousand')
A combination of peptides which 'trick' the skin into producing more collagen for visible firming, plumping and wrinkle-smoothing results.
Drone-Targeted Copper Peptide
Encapsulated in a polymer system, it dives through the layers of the skin to specifically support collagen-producing cells.
Expression Line Peptide
An innovative peptide which works to tackle the appearance and formation of expression lines by helping to block the pathway that leads to facial muscle contraction. This leaves the skin visibly smoother and more youthful-looking.
Carnosine (pronounced 'CAR-no-seen')
A protective peptide that is naturally produced in the body, carnosine helps to block skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen in the skin, therefore minimising the visible formation of wrinkles.
Multi-Weight Hyaluronic (pronounced 'Hiya-le-ronick’) Acid
With the ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, multi-weight hyaluronic acid draws moisture into multiple layers of the skin; leaving the complexion deeply hydrated and visibly supple.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

Press & Glow:

Delivers enviable skin glow without irritation.

Polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) are different to traditional exfoliating acids as they have a larger molecule size. This means they can't penetrate as deeply into the skin layers. Instead, they work on the skin's surface, without disturbing the delicate layers that lie beneath.

This ensures optimal skin cell renewal alongside minimal irritation. By breaking down the 'glue' that binds dull and dead cells to the skin surface, PHAs help to speed up cellular turnover to reveal the visibly brighter, smoother skin underneath.

PHAs also boast powerful humectant properties, meaning they draw in moisture for increased hydration and a soothing sensation. The result? None of the irritating effects that are commonly associated with traditional acid toners.

Liquid Peptides:

Liquid Peptides takes the renowned benefits of peptides to the next level.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds. There are 20 individual naturally-occurring amino acids which can be linked together in any order to give millions of different peptide combinations; with each helping to target different skin concerns.

Recognising that peptides do so much more for the skin than simply boost collagen production, Medik8 has taken traditional peptide technology to the next level. Formulated with a unique, multi-beneficial blend of 10 different peptides at 30%, Liquid Peptides uses drone-targeted technology to ensure that each powerful peptide can dive deep into the skin to where it’s needed most, for maximum youth-boosting results.
