Medik8 SLEEP GLYCOLIC™

Sleep Glycolic is Medik8's at-home approach to glycolic acid.

High strength glycolic acid at home products (usually daily toners) are readily available and are often intended for daily use. This can cause irritation and compromise the skin barrier. That’s why at Medik8 we believe occasional use of glycolic acid is best – not daily.

Instead, Sleep Glycolic takes an innovative at-home approach to glycolic acid, harnessing the powerful exfoliating effects of glycolic acid in a bi-weekly treatment without the downsides.

Glycolic acid is encapsulated in a crystalline cyclodextrin 'shell' that slowly breaks down upon contact with skin enzymes. The encapsulation gradually delivers the powerful exfoliating acid into the skin overnight to reduce the potential for irritation.

With a total of 10% active acid, the glycolic acid can easily penetrate the skin, improving end results. This is ultimate glycolic power, without the drawbacks.

Results:

Improved visible skin tone, texture and radiance.

Thanks to the serum, the skin becomes smoother and feels softer.

*Radiant skin

*10% active encapsulated Glycolic Acid

After cleansing in the evening, apply a pea-sized amount of Sleep Glycolic to the face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area.

Follow with other serums and night cream.

Let it work overnight.

Always wear sunscreen the next day after using Sleep Glycolic.

Patch testing prior to use is recommended.

A note on layering; since Sleep Glycolic is a direct acid, it should be the first step in your evening skincare routine. Layer all other serums and moisturizers on top of this.

Key Ingredients:

*Glycolic acid

With the smallest particle size of all AHAs, glycolic acid is the most powerful.

It works to break down bonds between dead skin cells so they can be easily exfoliated to reveal fresher, newer skin cells underneath – for visibly brighter, smoother skin.

*Crystal Encapsulation
A cyclodextrin based coating. It breaks down slowly on the skin, gradually releasing the glycolic acid into the skin to reduce irritation.

*Glycerin
An effective humectant, glycerin attracts moisture like a magnet, leaving skin feeling hydrated, soft and supple.

*Korean Clover Extract
Native to South Korea, Korean Clover Extract works with glycolic acid to support the skin's natural nighttime repair and hydration process.

It can help maintain the skin's natural barrier, leaving skin clearer, healthier and balanced.
