Medik8 Press & Clear is a daily exfoliating toner powered by 2% Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (BHA), designed to visibly reduce blemishes while remaining gentle enough for everyday use—even on sensitive, blemish-prone skin. This innovative formula combines the proven efficacy of BHA with a gradual-release encapsulation technology to unclog pores, smooth skin texture, and improve skin clarity without compromising the skin's natural protective barrier.

The toner also contains 2% Tranexamic Acid, Sake Extract, and Aloe Vera Juice to help reduce post-blemish marks, soothe irritation, deeply hydrate, and strengthen the skin barrier. Its lightweight, water-based formula leaves the skin feeling fresh, balanced, and comfortable while targeting blemishes at every stage—from prevention to post-breakout care.

Available in two versions: Press & Clear with a reusable pump and Press & Clear Refill. The pump can be reused up to 5 times, helping to reduce plastic waste.

KEY INGREDIENTS

2% Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (BHA)

Gradually releases salicylic acid into the skin to deeply unclog pores, dissolve excess sebum, reduce blemishes, and provide effective daily exfoliation with minimal irritation.

2% Tranexamic Acid

Helps reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, improve uneven skin tone, and minimize the appearance of dark spots left by blemishes.

Sake Extract

Derived from fermented rice water, this amino acid-rich extract nourishes and hydrates the skin, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps improve the skin's resilience against future breakouts.

Aloe Vera Juice

Helps soothe, soften, and deeply hydrate the skin while reducing irritation and supporting overall skin comfort.

PRESS & CLEAR VS PRESS & GLOW

Press & Clear is formulated to target blemishes, congestion, and excess oil with 2% Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (BHA), making it ideal for oily and blemish-prone skin.

Press & Glow uses 5.5% Gluconolactone (PHA) to gently exfoliate, hydrate, and restore radiance, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Both toners can be incorporated into the same skincare routine, but they should not be used in the same application. For best results, alternate them—for example, Press & Glow in the morning and Press & Clear in the evening.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Before first use, perform a patch test.

Unlock the pump by turning the top counterclockwise until it clicks. After cleansing, press a cotton pad firmly onto the dispenser and pump 3–4 times. Gently sweep over the face, avoiding the eye area. Use morning and/or evening. After use, turn the pump clockwise to lock it and prevent leakage.

When the bottle is empty, simply transfer the reusable pump to a new Press & Clear Refill bottle.
