Sleep Glycolic is an at-home AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) peel that can deliver fast results while you sleep, with no downtime.
Sleep Glycolic is the Medik8 approach to at-home glycolic acid.
High strength at-home glycolic acid 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 that occasional use of glycolic acid is best – not daily.
Instead, Sleep Glycolic takes an innovative approach to at-home glycolic acid, harnessing the powerful exfoliating effects of glycolic acid in a bi-weekly treatment without the drawbacks.
Glycolic acid is encapsulated in a crystal cyclodextrin 'shell' which is slowly broken down upon contact with skin enzymes. The encapsulation gradually delivers the powerful exfoliating acid into the skin overnight to reduce the chance of irritation.
With a total of 10% active acid, the glycolic acid can easily penetrate the skin, improving the 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 more even and feels softer.
