Medik8 Sleep Glycolic

Time Release AHA Overnight At-Home Peel

Get ready for noticeably brighter, smoother and decongested skin. 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 twice a week for improved skin luminosity and visible skin revitalisation.

Key Benefits

• Radiant, Visibly Refined Skin – 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.
• 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.
• Healthy Skin Barrier – 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.
• Complement Your In-Clinic Results – 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

First-time use: If you're new to Sleep Glycolic, we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use. Apply once and note the skin’s response, then use 2-3 times per week.

1. After cleansing in the evening, smooth a pea-sized amount of Sleep Glycolic onto the face, neck and décolletage - avoiding the eye area. Some slight skin tingling is normal.
2. Follow with other serums and night moisturiser. Leave on overnight. As 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.
3. Always wear sunscreen the next day after using Sleep Glycolic. We recommend Advanced Day Ultimate Protect.

Key Ingredients

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