Medik8 Sleep Glycolic

Medik8 Sleep Glycolic

Medik8 Sleep Glycolic is an at-home bi-weekly AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) peel treatment which can deliver fast results while you sleep, with zero downtime. Harnessing a true free glycolic acid value of 10% for enhanced penetration results, Sleep Glycolic effortlessly leaves the complexion visibly brighter, smoother and decongested, transforming dull, uneven textured skin. Perfect for those who want visibly brighter, smoother skin – fast.

Formulated with 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. Whereas most high strength at-home glycolic acid products, most commonly daily toners are often directed for regular, everyday use. This can have the potential to cause irritation, and an impairment to the skin barrier.

Instead, 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. Glycolic acid is encapsulated in a crystal cyclodextrin ‘shell’ that is slowly broken down upon contact with skin enzymes. The encapsulation gradually delivers the high strength exfoliating acid into the skin overnight to reduce the potential for irritation.

With a total 10% free active acid, the glycolic acid is able to easily penetrate into the skin, improving the end results. This is ultimate glycolic power, without the downsides.

• Sleep Glycolic is non-drying on the skin.
• High concentration formula is time-released into the skin overnight.

How to use:

After cleansing in the evening, smooth a pea-sized amount of Sleep Glycolic onto the face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye area. Perfect for use 2-3 times a week. Follow with other serums and night moisturiser and leave on overnight. Always wear sunscreen the next day after using Sleep Glycolic.

A note on layering; as Sleep Glycolic is a direct acid, it should be the first step in your evening skincare routine. Layer all other serums and moisturisers over this.

If you want to enhance your visible brightening and decongesting results, use Medik8’s Clarity Peptides as your daily peptide serum alongside Sleep Glycolic bi-weekly to work towards flawless results.
