Pore Refining Exfoliating L-Mandelic Acid Wash for Oily & Combination Skin. Developed especially to provide deep-pore cleansing & renewing daily exfoliation, Medik 8 pore Cleanse 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 & a much more comfortable experience. L-mandelic is unique amongst alpha hydroxy acids as it is lipid soluble & therefore is able to penetrate into the pores for a deep cleansing action making it the perfect fruit acid exfoliant for oily & problem skin types. Tea tree oil is a well established natural antibacterial agent that gets pore deep & helps tackle & prevent the causes of problem skin. Tea tree also has a distinctive fresh & zingy fragrance offering the benefits of pleasant odour without using artificial perfumes. Benefits of Medik 8 pore Cleanse:
- 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 & continuous product use of mandelic acid can radically diminish fine lines & wrinkles in a similar way as glycolic acid does but in a non-abrasive manner & without the often associated post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- The use of pore Cleanse is highly recommended prior & post professional peeling procedures.
- Tea Tree oil is an established natural antibacterial agent.
- Glycerin is a natural humectant, which attracts water from the air & draws it to the skin, ensuring hydration. Unfortunately due to shipping restrictions, we are unable to send this product to customers outside of the EEA.
