Reviews

Love this!

"I have tried bha toners in the past and they were always really oily or irritating. This has been neither of those! I have been able to use it twice a day and my skin is sensitive. I really like how it feels and I do think I’m seeing less blackheads. I will definitely keep this in my routine."

— Jenneca G. (5/5)

super tonic

"A very good product that doesn’t dry out my skin and helped me get rid of under-the-skin bumps. I used it alongside medication. This toner supports acne treatment."

— JANE T. (5/5)

Actually made a difference

"I genuinely love this product. My skin is sensitive and reactive, so I’m usually cautious with exfoliants, but this has been amazing. My pores look clearer, my skin feels incredibly clean, and the overall texture looks smoother and more even. It’s also given me a different kind of glow - clearer, brighter and more polished without feeling stripped or irritated. I can actually see and feel the difference, and I’ll absolutely repurchase."

Best liquid exfoliant!

"I have been using Paula’s Choice 2% liquid exfoliate for over 10 years and I honestly thought nothing would ever make me switch… that was until I tried Medik8 Press and Clear Gentle Exfoliating Salicylic Acid BHA Toner. This stuff is just as good if not better than the Paula’s Choice one and I will now be permanently switching to Medik8."

— Lynnex Q. (5/5)

Soo gentle

"This is really gentle and non drying. My skin is sensitive and I do this first thing in the morning in place of cleansing. My skin has been really loving this formula. It’s noticeably smoother and clearer."

— Catherine V. (5/5)

Nice, Gentle BHA Toner

"It's a generously-sized portion of a solid BHA Toner. I actually prefer the refill bottle to the regular pump. Gentle, effective, and has caused no irritation. The only issue was that I actually had to use pliers to open the lid the first time because it was stuck on there so firmly!"

— Emily P. (5/5)

Gentle but Effective

"I really love this toner! It leaves my skin smooth, fresh, and glowing without feeling harsh or dry. My skin looks brighter and more even after using it. Definitely one of my favorite Medik8 products"

— Yuliia T. (5/5)

Salicylic acid

"Works great for preventing ingrown hairs. I like the encapsulated formula as it doesn’t cause any irritation. The press dispenser is perfect for applying on a cotton pad. Also the refill bottle make this fairly affordable price/mL"

— Clifton L. (5/5)

Great product!

"Use this on my skin at night to start my routine, great results for pores and oily t zone"

— Alexandra P. (5/5)

Great product.

"I love how gentle and yet how effective this product is. My skin is definitely more clear."

— Diane H. (5/5)

Q&A

Is is safe to use press clear, clarity pepdites and crystal retinal 3 in the same routine? My skin type is combination.
Hello Basak, Thank you for your question. It's generally safe to incorporate Press & Clear, Clarity Peptides, and Crystal Retinal into the same skincare routine. However, for customers who have sensitive skin, we recommend introducing these products gradually to minimise the risk of irritation. Thanks, Medik8 Team
I’m currently using press and clear toner, alongside peptides , just read that you shouldn’t use both because it can alter the effectiveness of the peptide , is this correct ?
Hello Sam, Our Peptides and Press & Clear are specifically designed to work together without compromising the effectiveness of either product. Rest assured, their efficacy will not be diminished when used in combination. Thanks, Medik8
Can the press and clear work as a type of exfoliator, and if so can it be used 2 to 3 times a week?
Hi Michael, thanks for your question about our Press & Clear and that's correct, this is a leave-on exfoliating acid product so provides a chemical exfoliation whilst remaining gentle on the skin. Due to the gentle formula, this can be used both day and night however, as everyone's skin is different if you notice any increase in dryness, simply cut down to evenings only or alternate days to suit the needs of your skin accordingly. We hope this helps! Thanks, Medik8.
hi! can i use press & clear with liquid peptides at night? thank you
Hi, yes absolutely! Liquid Peptides can be used alongside all other products and ingredients, including on top of Press & Clear. We just do not recommend using Press & Clear at the same time as another leave-on exfoliating acid. Thanks, Medik8.
Hello, am I allowed to use press and clear with C-tetra serum? Thank you in advance
Hi Daniella, thanks for your question. Yes of course, this will be help to boost results further! Thanks, Medik8.
