Medik8 Press & Glow 200ml – Clinically Proven PHA Toner for Everyday Radiant, Glowing Skin

Revolutionise your toning routine with Medik8 Press & Glow 200ml — the innovative, clinically proven PHA exfoliating toner that finally delivers an answer to the age-old problem of stinging, drying acid toners.

Now available in a generous 200ml size, this is your daily radiance ritual — elevated, sustained and made to last.

What is Medik8 Press & Glow?

Medik8 Press & Glow is a hydrating, refining PHA acid toner formulated with gluconolactone (pronounced gloo-cona-LAC-tone) — a cutting-edge polyhydroxy acid that delivers all the skin-smoothing and radiance-boosting benefits of traditional acid toners with a dramatically gentler, more skin-friendly experience. As a larger molecule than conventional AHAs, gluconolactone exfoliates slowly and carefully at the skin's surface — eliminating the stinging, redness and dryness that often accompany traditional acid toning.

Uniquely, gluconolactone also functions as a natural humectant — simultaneously hydrating the skin as it exfoliates, maintaining moisture balance and ensuring the skin barrier remains healthy, comfortable and intact throughout the toning process.

Used consistently, Press & Glow progressively improves skin texture, boosts radiance and creates a visibly perfected skin surface that is better able to absorb the powerful active ingredients — like Vitamin C and Vitamin A — that follow in your routine. It also creates a smoother, more even base for makeup — helping complexion products apply and wear more beautifully throughout the day.

Also available in a waste-reducing refill option for those committed to a more eco-conscious skincare routine.

How to Use

Key Ingredients & How They Work:

Gluconolactone – PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid)
Gluconolactone is a next-generation polyhydroxy acid and the star ingredient in Press & Glow. As a PHA, its larger molecular structure means it works more slowly and gently at the skin's surface compared to smaller AHA molecules like glycolic and lactic acid — providing effective, progressive exfoliation without the associated stinging, burning or barrier disruption.

What truly sets gluconolactone apart is its dual-action nature — it is simultaneously an exfoliant and a humectant. While gently dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells at the surface, it also draws moisture into the skin — maintaining hydration levels and leaving the complexion feeling soft, smooth and comfortable rather than tight or stripped after toning.

With consistent twice-daily use, gluconolactone delivers:

  • Gentle, progressive removal of dead surface skin cells
  • Visibly smoother and more refined skin texture
  • A noticeable, everyday luminous glow
  • Improved skin surface for enhanced active ingredient penetration
  • A more even, perfected base for flawless makeup application
