Medik8 Sleep Glycolic - New Product

Medik8 Sleep glycolic

Sleep Glycolic is a true innovation, high strength glycolic acid for at-home usage.
This time-release AHA overnight at-home peel contains true 10% encapsulated Glycolic Acid Time Release Technology (crystal encapsulation) which minimises any irritation caused by powerful levels of Glycolic Acid.

It is suitable for normal skin types - including blemish-prone skins, oily skin types, uneven textured skins and those prone to visible hyperpigmentation.
Ideal for an entry-level at-home peel for customers nervous about their first peeling experience or seasoned chemical peel customers, wanting at-home top-ups in between peeling sessions. Not suitable for very sensitive skins or those with an impaired skin barrier.

Harnesses the powers of the small but mighty glycolic acid, with a free acid value of 10%.

It is ideal to use to prolong the results of a peeling/facial course. Perfect for use in conjunction with Medik8's CSA philosophy of Vitamin C, Sunscreen, and Vitamin A, to speed up the renewal of fresh healthy skin cells.

Glycolic acid is encapsulated in crystal cyclodextrin encapsulation, the same encapsulation used within Medik8's Crystal Retinal formulations. Cyclodextrin is slowly broken down by skin enzymes. This slowly releases glycolic acid into the skin overnight, to minimise any irritation or inflammation within the skin.

Glycolic acid and vitamin A usage has been clinically proven to work in harmony, together they can help to regulate exfoliation in the epidermis; glycolic acid in the upper layers, and vitamin A in the lower layers. Retinaldehyde and glycolic acid have been found to be effective combination, particularly when treating blemish-prone complexions. Additionally, vitamin C and Sunscreen in the morning regime help to maintain a healthy skin barrier and increase skin protection while using Sleep Glycolic
