Developed
especially to provide deep-pore cleansing
and renewing daily exfoliation, poreCleanse
contains the chirally correct AHA L-mandelic
acid which has been shown to offer similar
exfoliation properties to glycolic acid,
but without the same degree of stinging
or irritation which ultimately leads to
superior results and a much more comfortable
experience. L-mandelic is unique amongst
alpha hydroxy acids as it is lipid soluble
and therefore is able to penetrate into
the pores for a deep cleansing action
making it the perfect fruit acid exfoliant
for oily and problem skin types.
Tea tree
oil is a well established natural antibacterial
agent that gets pore deep and helps tackle
and prevent the causes of problem skin.
Tea tree also has a distinctive fresh
and zingy fragrance offering a the benefits
of pleasant odour without using artificial
perfumes.
L-Mandelic
acid is a potent exfoliator but unlike
Glycolic acid, does not irritate, cause
erythema or burning
L-Mandelic
acid also demonstrates antiseptic activity,
making it suitable for hypersensitive
acne-prone skin types
Clinical
trials show sustained and continuous
use of mandelic acid can radically diminish
fine lines and wrinkles in a similar
way as glycolic acid does but in a non-abrasive
manner and without the often associated
post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The
use of poreCleanse is highly recommended
prior and post professional peeling
procedures
Tea
Tree oil is an established natural antibacterial
agent
Glycerin
is a natural humectant, which attracts
water from the air and draws it to the
skin, ensuring hydration
Cleanse skin twice daily. Pump a small amount of cleanser into the palm of the hand and massage into moistened face and neck area. Rinse thoroughly and pat face dry.
Use in conjunction with a Medik8 antioxidant product followed by a Medik8 hydrator.

Medik8 is the British skin research company pioneering cosmeceutical technologies to make the most effective ingredients suitable for even the most sensitive skin, yet crucially without compromising efficacy. Medik8 cosmeceuticals may be used by everyone. Apart from being kinder to the skin, it turns out this new technology is kinder to the planet too. That's why Medik8 is known as the Green Cosmeceutical' brand. Most skin is sensitive, it is just to what degree that distinguishes it from others. A simple change of washing powder can demonstrate this. People of all ages and skin types can periodically suffer from sensitive skin, making them particularly susceptible to certain irritating cosmeceutical ingredients. In fact, those suffering from acne, rosacea or psoriasis usually have greater skin sensitivity, which can be exacerbated by some aggressive treatment products that they use. The challenge for Medik8 is to make effective ingredients less aggressive without reducing potency. We do this in many ways for example using film-encapsulation, chirally correct actives, non-acid derivatives and patented anti-erythema technologies. Of course, using any effective strength actives, for example retinols and fruit acids, will cause some stinging to even the toughest skins, but Medik8 pharmacologists have minimised the degree of irritation and in some cases made it absent all together. No longer are the most powerful and effective ingredients beyond the reach of people who want the gain without the pain! And who doesn't want that? Ask your skin care professional about what Medik8 can do for you.
