Medik8 Sleep Glycolic Peel

Description

Medik8 Sleep Glycolic Peel is an at-home skin peel that transforms the look of your skin’s texture and tone in as little as four weeks.

It works alongside the skin’s own overnight processes to give you a brighter and smoother complexion.

This skin peel uses encapsulated Glycolic Acid, the queen of skin acids, to slowly release into the skin, thereby minimising irritation.

Now you can get professional results at home without the cost or downtime.

It has a pH of 3.5.

Why Medik8 Sleep Glycolic Peel?

With only two applications a week, in the comfort of your own home, you can achieve professional-level results. 

Medik8 Sleep Glycolic Peel uses 10% Glycolic Acid to gently resurface the skin and renew the complexion.

Glycolic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that’s well researched and has been clinically shown to effectively refine the skin and build collagen.

Time-release technology allows the acid to release slowly so as to minimise the chance of irritation.

The Glycolic Acid has been combined with moisturising ingredients to preserve the skin’s natural protective barrier.

Medik8 Sleep Glycolic Peel can be used as a standalone product or to complement professional treatments.

It’s a great way to prepare your skin for an in-clinic peel or to keep up the results achieved at home.

Skin acid science

Not all acids are created equal.

The percentage declared on a label is not the same as the percentage delivered to the skin.

The effectiveness of an acid depends on its free acid value. This is dependent on the concentration of the acid and the pH.

This product has been developed at a low pH so that it actually delivers 10% Glycolic Acid to the skin.

Medik8 Sleep Glycolic Peel ingredients

Medik8 Sleep Glycolic Peel key ingredients are:

Glycolic Acid dramatically improves skin texture and tone, while also promoting the production of collagen. Medik8 has used a concentration of 10% at a low pH, which has been clinically shown to promote cell turnover and stimulate collagen production. This formulation uses crystal encapsulation technology so that the Glycolic Acid is delivered slowly and with minimal irritation.

Clover Extract supports the skin’s natural repair processes and keeps it hydrated by helping to stimulate production of Hyaluronic Acid in the skin. It also contains important isoflavones that bind to receptors in the skin and work in ways that other actives can’t. Isoflavones are particularly helpful for women who are oestrogen deficient as they’ve been found to visibly improve skin thickness, elasticity, texture and hyperpigmentation.

Glycerin is a soothing and hydrating ingredient. It draws moisture like a magnet so that skin not only feels more comfortable, but looks soft, supple and hydrated.
