Medik8

Retinol innovators Medik8 has bought out another breakthrough formula that promises to revolutionise the BHA skincare game. Press & Clear is a 2% encapsulated salicylic acid tonic that features unique, slow-release technology and a barrierfriendly pH of ~5.5 to ensure the formula’s triple-action blemish care is gentle on the skin. It efficiently exfoliates and decongests the complexion to provide prevention of and action on blemishes – without causing irritation. 2% tranexamic acid works to minimise the appearance of postblemish imperfections by visibly brightening the complexion. Sake extract supports and nourishes the natural skin barrier to keep it strong, healthy and resilient to future breakouts. Meanwhile, aloe vera provides soothing relief during breakouts and offsets any dryness caused by blemishes themselves.
