Experience the power of next generation exfoliating poly hydroxy acids (PHAs) with Press & Glow; the hydrating acid toner that helps to exfoliate the surface of the complexion for 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.

Ingredient
Glycerin
What It Is

Glycerin works as a humectant, it attracts moisture from the air into the stratum corneum (top layer of skin), and due to its low molecular weight, will continue to draw moisture to the deeper layers of the dermis.

Glycerin also treats several skin disorders, ranging from dry skin to wound healing. The ingredient has the potential of improving your overall internal health as well.

Due to its versatility and ability to moisturise, it’s used in everything from lotions to soaps to toners.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

Products with glycerin can be used topically multiple times a day. You can safely and effectively use this ingredient in nearly every single step of your skin care routine. Several skin care brands use glycerin when formulating everything from cleansers and toners, to serums and moisturisers.

Benefits
  • Glycerin tightens and firms - Use this ingredient for a few weeks or even a few days and we think you'll find that it plumps and softens your look significantly, especially if you have more mature skin.
  • It improves your complexion - Glycerin is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores.
  • It brightens - Between glycerin’s rejuvenating properties and its ability to moisturise, glycerin plays a key role in keeping skin looking bright and luminous.
  • The ingredient is also a good choice for sensitive skin. Because it’s a natural component of skin, it calms redness and inflammation. It’s one of the gentler ingredients you can find in skin care products and can even help alleviate sensitivity over time.
Gluconolactone
What It Is

Lactobionic Acid Is The New Ingredient Transforming Winter Skin. From mandelic to salicylic, exfoliating acids are huge in skincare right now. Promising brighter, smoother and clearer skin, they work on both a surface and deeper level to lift away dull, dead skin cells, unclog pores and minimise hyperpigmentation.

What It Does

You should avoid using lactobionic-acid alongside products containing glycolic acid or other chemical exfoliants. However, it’s usually ok to use multiple chemical exfoliants if they’re in one multi-ingredient product as these are usually tested for irritation potential.

Chemical exfoliants should only be used a maximum of 1-3x per week to avoid over-exfoliation, skin barrier damage, and inflammation.

When using any type of chemical exfoliant, it’s important to apply it to dry skin to reduce the risk of irritation. For example:

  • Cleanse
  • Thoroughly dry skin
  • Apply Lactobionic acid toner or serum
  • Follow with moisturizer
  • Apply sunscreen (AM only)

To reduce irritation, you can also use lactobionic-acid after your moisturiser which will act as a buffer to slow the rate that the acid penetrates your skin.

Benefits

Exfoliation: As a PHA with large molecules, it acts as a mild exfoliant. It boosts the removal of the outer layer of the skin, helping to get rid of dead skin, leaving you with smooth skin.

Sun Protection: It has antioxidant properties and offers your skin some protection from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Skin Thickening: It can improve the thickness of your skin which helps to increase firmness.

Anti-Aging: It boosts the production of collagen, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves elasticity.

Skin Brightening: It helps to fade dark spots and marks, including under-eye darkness, and can help with hyperpigmentation by increasing cellular turnover.

Hydrating: Lactobionic acid is a humectant  which means that it can draw moisture from the deeper layers of your skin (and from the atmosphere in humid environments) into the outer layers of your skin to keep it supple and hydrated, without making your skin feel greasy.

Treating inflammatory skin conditions: It reduces skin pH without irritation which helps inflammatory skin conditions like acne and rosacea.
