My Medik8 Press & Clear Review.
If you want an honest Medik8 review, here's what I thought of this new toner.
Salicylic acid products for pimples are often harsh, or take a more is more approach.
I really liked the fact this product has a gentle formula, because if you’re using active ingredients regularly, sometimes, it can be too much for your skin.
The pump packaging is so easy to use, and I love the blue colour!
I am an experienced cosmeceutical skincare user, but it's important to know albeit the slow-release salicylic acid, you don’t want to go straight into daily use - especially if you've never used BHAs before.
I would recommend slotting this product into your PM skincare routine a few times a week after cleansing, and before hydrating serums, moisturiser or a face oil.
You can work your way up to daily use, and always wear sunscreen every day!
I wanted to put the formula to the test for this article with a real-life breakout...
My skin obliged.
I was up in Queensland for work recently, and got very sweaty running around all day.
Boom: I woke up with a cluster of pimples on my chin.
They were really noticeable to me; like three big blind pimples.
I took a 'before' photo before going to bed, and then used Medik8’s Press & Clear with just a moisturiser over the top.
I woke up the next day and was so happy to see how much better my chin situation was looking.
It wasn’t 100% cleared up, but I could feel the inflammation reducing.
I used Medik8 Press & Clear the following night too.
Here's my skin on day two.
You can really see how much it helped to minimise the appearance of my pimples.
If you’re dealing with regular breakouts, I highly recommend trying a daily salicylic acid toner like Medik8’s Press & Clear.
I really rate this product in particular because it will help with the aftermath of a breakout by reducing the appearance of any dark spots left behind.
And if you haven't used BHAs before, I think you will be blown away by the results.
