Press & Clear, a true innovation in BHA skin improvement, has been developed to maintain a perfect balance between potency and gentleness for the skin.
With Press & Clear, we recognize that blemish-prone skin is sensitive skin.
Overloading the skin, especially sensitive, blemish-prone skin, with powerful treatments can lead to a compromised skin barrier.
The skin becomes susceptible to damage, inflammation, and further breakouts.
At Medik8, we have formulated Press & Clear to deliver incredible results with daily use, while supporting the skin barrier to maintain a healthy complexion.
Maximum strength BHA (2%) salicylic acid is oil-soluble and can penetrate deep into the pores to dissolve blockages that can lead to breakouts and congestion.
Press & Clear promotes a visibly purified, clarified complexion.
Salicylic acid is optimally delivered with our crystal encapsulation system with gentle release.
This allows the salicylic acid to be released slowly to prevent discomfort on sensitive, fragile skin, while maintaining its potency.
Press & Clear has a very skin-friendly pH of ~5.5. While other exfoliating acids, such as AHAs, require low pHs to work on the skin, salicylic acid is special because it is an effective exfoliant at both low and more neutral pHs.
Our balanced pH contributes to the non-stinging, gentle experience when using Press & Clear.
The clarifying ingredient tranexamic acid works to visibly even out skin tone, minimizing stubborn marks and post-blemish imperfections.
Sake extract and aloe vera soothe and hydrate the skin, compensating for any dryness that occurred during and after the blemish.
The skin barrier is nourished and supported, resisting future breakouts.
