Press and Glow™

Experience the power of next-generation exfoliating polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) with Press & Glow; the hydrating acid toner that helps to exfoliate the surface of the complexion for a noticeable everyday glow.

PHA gluconolactone acts as a moisture magnet to help comfort and hydrate the skin, making the surface exfoliation of the skin effortless. A non-drying, non-stingy and non-sticky formula, this is the acid toner with all the power and none of the ouch. Press & Glow is a juxtaposition of powerful results and a gentle experience, leaving the skin visibly smooth, evenly-toned with a year-round glow.

The addition of prickly pear extract helps to induce a more youthful cell renewal process. Press & Glow works in tune with vitamin A so you can boost your daily glow without sensitising the skin. Glowing skin has never been easier.

What It Is

Balance is key when it comes to exfoliation; overuse of powerful exfoliating acids everyday can often lead to sensitisation of the skin and premature skin ageing. PHAs are made up of larger molecules than other exfoliating acids, meaning they do not penetrate into the skin as deeply and instead work on the surface of the skin. This makes PHAs the perfect match for those with sensitive skin, who want to achieve true daily exfoliation while keeping their skin barrier healthy.

• Gluconolactone is a high-performing PHA which breaks down the glue between dead skin cells so they are shed off with ease to reveal that covetable, glowing skin surface. As PHAs are humectant ingredients (water-loving), they help to hydrate the skin during exfoliation for ultimate comfort during and after use.
  
  **is proven to work perfectly in partnership with vitamin A[1], as it can aid the absorption of vitamin A and get the gold-standard anti-ageing ingredient to exactly where it is needed in the skin.

• Prickly pear extract helps to boost the activity of natural exfoliation enzymes, allowing the skin exfoliation cycle to return to a more youthful pace. This again works in conjunction with vitamin A.

• Aloe vera and acai extract use their calming properties to reduce visible redness, whilst hydrating the skin.

Ingredients

Key Ingredients

5.5% Gluconolactone
A high performing, water-soluble PHA, gluconolactone converts into gluconic acid to gently exfoliate and hydrate the skin, resulting in a visibly more even, smoother skin surface.

​​​Prickly Pear Extract
A natural enzyme activator, it helps to increase the rate of desquamation of the skin, and then the rate of cell turnover. This can help improve the clarity and luminosity of the skin, as well as the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aloe Vera
Ideal for reducing visible signs of skin irritation and enhancing the skin’s moisture retention properties, as well as helping to prevent free radical damage.

Acai Extract
It can help to protect the skin from free radical damage.
