Description
Sleep Glycolic is the Medik8 approach to at-home glycolic acid. The smallest of the AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), glycolic acid can penetrate the deepest into the skin. As a result, glycolic acid can address more stubborn skin concerns such as uneven texture and a lacklustre complexion.
High-strength at-home glycolic acid products (commonly labelled as daily toners) are readily available. People often use them every day, but this can potentially irritate and impair the skin barrier. That’s why at Satini Cosmetic Clinic, we believe only occasional use of glycolic acid is best—not daily.
Instead, leave daily acids to super-gentle PHAs (polyhydroxy acids, found in Press & Glow). Medik8 Sleep Glycolic takes an innovative approach to at-home glycolic acid, harnessing the powerful exfoliating effects of glycolic acid in a bi-weekly treatment without the downsides.
The glycolic acid used in this product is encapsulated in a crystal cyclodextrin ‘shell’. This shell slowly breaks down upon contact with the skin. Overnight, the encapsulation only gradually and over time delivers the high-strength exfoliating acid into the skin. This greatly reduces the potential for irritation.
With 10% free active acid, glycolic acid can penetrate the skin, easily improving results. This is the ultimate glycolic power without the downsides.
How to use
For use 2-3 times a week. After cleansing in the evening, smooth a pea-sized amount of Sleep Glycolic onto the face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye area. Follow with other serums and night moisturisers. Leave on overnight. Always wear sunscreen the next day after using Sleep Glycolic.
