Medik8 SLEEP GLYCOLIC™

Time Release AHA Overnight At-home Peel

Sleep Glycolic is an at-home AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) peel that can deliver fast results while you sleep, with no downtime. This biweekly treatment can transform dull, uneven skin into visibly brighter, smoother and even skin.

Usage:

For 2-3 times a week.

1. After cleansing in the evening, apply a pea-sized amount of Sleep Glycolic to the face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye contour.
2. Follow with other serums and night cream.
3. Leave to work overnight.
4. Always wear sunscreen the next day after using Sleep Glycolic.

Patch testing prior to use is advised.

A note on layering; Since Sleep Glycolic is a direct acid, it should be the first step in your evening skin care 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 and smoother skin.

*Crystal Encapsulation
A cyclodextrin-based coating. This is slowly broken down on the skin, gradually releasing the glycolic acid into the skin to reduce irritation.

*Glycerin
An effective humectant ingredient, glycerin draws moisture to it like a magnet, leaving skin feeling hydrated, soft and supple.

*Korean Clover Extract
Native to South Korea, Korean Clover Extract, works together 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.

How it works:

Sleep Glycolic is the Medik8 approach to glycolic acid for the home.

1. High-strength glycolic acid home products (usually daily toners) are readily available and are often intended for daily use. This can cause irritation and damage to the skin barrier. That's why at Medik8 we believe that occasional use of glycolic acid is best – not daily.
2. 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.
3. Glycolic acid is encapsulated in a crystal cyclodextrin 'shell' that is slowly broken down on contact with skin enzymes. The encapsulation gradually delivers the powerful exfoliating acid into the skin overnight to reduce the chance of irritation.
4. 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.
