Product Information

Full details

Medik8 Press & Clear is a 2% BHA toner designed for blemish-prone and sensitive skin, offering visibly clearer skin in just 7 days without irritation. Its key benefit is effectively reducing blemishes, blackheads, and post-blemish marks while improving skin barrier function. A potential caveat is that, like all exfoliating acids, it requires consistent use and proper application to yield optimal results. This product features encapsulated salicylic acid for gentle yet effective pore decongestion and tranexamic acid to address post-blemish discoloration, all within a non-greasy, non-sticky, and non-drying formula.

FAQs

How often should I use Medik8 Press & Clear?

For best results, use Press & Clear twice daily, morning and night. Apply to a cotton pad and press onto the face, avoiding the eye area.

Is this product suitable for very sensitive skin?

Yes, Press & Clear is specifically formulated for blemish-prone, sensitive skin. Clinical studies show that 96% of participants found it to be gentle on their skin. However, always perform a patch test if you have concerns.

What is the key difference between this and other BHA toners?

Press & Clear features encapsulated salicylic acid for gradual release, minimizing irritation. It also uniquely contains tranexamic acid to target post-blemish marks and is clinically proven to improve skin barrier function, unlike many other BHAs.

Can I use this product with other active ingredients?

While Press & Clear is gentle, it's always recommended to introduce new active ingredients one at a time. If using other exfoliating acids, retinoids, or Vitamin C, use them on alternate days or at different times of day and monitor your skin's response.

How long does a bottle last?

A 30ml bottle, used twice daily as directed, typically lasts approximately 2-3 weeks. The duration can vary based on individual usage and saturation of the cotton pad.

Does Press & Clear help with hyperpigmentation?

Yes, it contains 2% tranexamic acid, which is known for its ability to help visibly even skin tone and minimize the appearance of dark spots and post-blemish imperfections.

What are the benefits of the sustainable refill?

The sustainable refill option allows you to reuse your original Press & Clear pump bottle, significantly reducing plastic waste and the environmental impact associated with packaging.

Troubleshooting

Skin feels slightly tingly after application

This is normal for exfoliating acids and often indicates the product is working. If the tingle persists or becomes uncomfortable, try using the product every other day initially until your skin adjusts, or ensure you are pressing the product onto a cotton pad for controlled application.

No noticeable improvement after several weeks

Ensure you are using the product consistently every day as directed. Verify that the cotton pad is adequately saturated for proper delivery of the active ingredients. Consider if other products in your routine might be counteracting the effects.

Increased redness or irritation

Discontinue use immediately and allow your skin to recover. Once settled, reintroduce the product gradually, perhaps using it only a few times a week. Ensure you are not layering it with too many other strong actives, and always use SPF during the day.

Product does not dispense properly

Ensure the pump mechanism is not clogged. If using the refill, make sure the liquid has been transferred correctly into the original pump bottle. If the issue persists with the original bottle, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Medik8 Press & Clear comes in a convenient pump bottle. To use, place a cotton pad on top of the bottle and press down firmly to saturate the pad with the toner. This ensures a controlled amount of product is dispensed.

Compatibility: This toner is formulated for blemish-prone, oily, and sensitive skin types. It is dermatologically tested, non-comedogenic (meaning it will not block pores), and free from alcohol, artificial fragrances, and synthetic colors. It can be incorporated into most existing skincare routines, but it is advisable to introduce it gradually and monitor your skin's reaction, especially if using other active ingredients.

Care: Store the product at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to maintain product integrity. For the sustainable refill, transfer the liquid into the original pump bottle according to the refill instructions.
