Get ready to wow at your next party with noticeably brighter, smoother and decongested skin. Medik8 Sleep Glycolic is an at-home AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) peel treatment that delivers fast results overnight, without the usual redness and irritation associated with peel formulas.

The leave-on treatment harnesses the power of 10% active glycolic acid to transform the look of dull, uneven and congested complexions. Use Medik8 Sleep Glycolic twice a week for improved skin luminosity and visible skin revitalisation.


KEY BENEFITS

  • Radiant, Visibly Refined Skin
    Medik8 Sleep Glycolic removes dead skin cells from the skin’s surface to reveal a visibly smoother and glowing complexion, with a more even tone and texture.

  • Healthy Skin Barrier
    Medik8 Sleep Glycolic uses innovative crystal encapsulation technology to gradually deliver glycolic acid into the skin throughout the night. This means the skin barrier remains comfortable and balanced during use.

  • Visibly Perfected Skin
    Visibly resurfaces the skin texture, smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimises the look of hyperpigmentation. It also reduces congestion and the likelihood of blemishes forming.

  • Complement Your In-Clinic Results
    Medik8 Sleep Glycolic can help to prolong the results of a peeling / facial course. It can also be used as an entry level, at-home peel for those who are nervous about their first peeling experience.

HOW TO USE

Step 1
After cleansing in the evening, smooth a pea-sized amount of Medik8 Sleep Glycolic onto the face, neck and décolletage – avoiding the eye area. Some slight skin tingling is normal.

NOTE: For use 2-3 times per week.

Step 2
Follow with other serums and night moisturiser. Leave on overnight. As Medik8 Sleep Glycolic is directly active on your skin, it should be the second step in your evening skincare routine (after cleansing). Layer all other serums and moisturisers on top.

Step 3
Always wear sunscreen the next day after using Medik8 Sleep Glycolic. Patch testing prior to use is advised.


KEY INGREDIENTS

    • Ingredient Icon 1
      10% Active Glycolic Acid

      With the smallest particle size of all the AHAs, glycolic acid is the most powerful. It works to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, so they can be easily exfoliated away to reveal fresher, newer skin cells beneath. The result is visibly brighter, smoother and decongested skin. This active is contained within a cyclodextrin-based shell (pronounced ‘sy-clo-DEXtrin’). This ensures its gradual release into the skin overnight to prevent irritation while prolonging the visible effects.

    • Ingredient Icon 2
      Korean Clover Extract

      Works alongside glycolic acid to support the skin’s natural overnight repair and hydration processes. It also helps to maintain the natural skin barrier; reducing the potential for irritation.

    • Ingredient Icon 3
      Glycerin

      A natural humectant which traps moisture within the skin to leave it hydrated and comfortable.


THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

The effectiveness of exfoliating acid products depends on 2 main things: how much acid is in the product (i.e. its %) and how acidic it is (i.e. its pH). Having a low level of acidity is important to make the acid work in the product. Exfoliating acids, like AHA or BHA, can be either active or inactive. Only when they are active, can they go into your skin and help with stubborn skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation. In Sleep Glycolic, we made sure our acid is active by making the product more acidic than most with a pH of 3.5 to ensure it delivers 10% of active acid. This makes our glycolic acid product very powerful. To control this power and prevent skin irritation, we use crystal encapsulation to release it slowly throughout the night and recommend using it twice a week to keep your skin healthy.
