With Press & Clear we recognize that impure skin is sensitive skin.
Overloading the skin, especially sensitive, impure skin, with strong treatments can lead to a reduced skin barrier.
The skin becomes susceptible to damage, inflammation and further breakouts.
At Medik8 we 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 pores to dissolve blockages that can lead to breakouts and congestion.
Press & Clear promotes a visibly cleansed, brightened complexion. Salicylic acid is optimally delivered with our gentle release crystal encapsulation system.
This slowly releases the salicylic acid 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, like 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 of using Press & Clear.
The brightening ingredient, Tranexamic Acid, works to visibly even out skin tone, minimising the appearance of stubborn spots and post-breakout imperfections.
Sake extract and aloe vera soothe and hydrate the skin, compensating for any dryness that may have occurred during and after the pimple.
The skin barrier is nourished and supported; resistant to future breakouts.
