Sleep Glycolic is suitable for normal skin types – including blemish-prone skins, oily skin types, uneven textured skins and those prone to visible hyperpigmentation. It is not suitable for very sensitive skins.
Glycolic acid is a gold-standard ingredient within the skincare industry. It is the most talked about and popular alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). Known for its abilities to transform skin texture, glycolic acid can leave skin visibly brighter, smoother and less congested.
It has ultra-effective penetration power, with the smallest molecular size of all exfoliating acids, so it can achieve skin benefits on lower layers of the skin that other AHAs find harder to reach. As a result, it can address more stubborn skin concerns – from advanced signs of ageing to stubborn hyperpigmentation.
With fast, easy and effective results in just a matter of weeks, it can be tempting to use glycolic acid products all the time. As we mentioned before, glycolic has a smaller molecular weight than other AHAs, and as a result has no trouble penetrating the skin barrier. Our skin barrier is key for protection from the environment, essential for maintaining hydration and of course, for overall skin health. Often high strength glycolic acid products are directed for everyday use. We believe that this overuse has the potential to impair the skin barrier, leading to irritation, sensitisation and inflammation.
At Medik8, we wanted to find a way to yield the unbeatable benefits of high strength glycolic acid in a way that would actually benefit the skin barrier, not destroy it. After months of research, testing and development, we are pleased to introduce you to Sleep Glycolic, our brand new true 10% glycolic acid at-home peel.
