How Press & Glow works
Balance is key when it comes to exfoliation; Excessive use of powerful exfoliating acids every day can often lead to skin sensitization and premature skin aging. PHAs are made up of larger molecules than other exfoliating acids, meaning they don't penetrate the skin as deeply and instead work on the skin's surface. This makes PHAs the perfect complement for those with sensitive skin, who want to achieve true daily exfoliation while maintaining their skin barrier healthy.
- "Gluconolactone is a high-performance PHA that breaks down the glue between dead skin cells so they slough off easily and reveal that coveted, glowing skin surface. As PHAs are moisturizing (skin-loving) ingredients, water), help hydrate the skin during exfoliation for greater comfort during and after use. Gluconolactone has been shown to work perfectly in association with vitamin A[1], as it can help with the absorption of the vitamin. A and make the reference anti-aging ingredient reach exactly where it is needed on the skin."
- Prickly pear extract helps boost the activity of natural exfoliating enzymes, allowing the skin's exfoliation cycle to return to a more youthful pace. This also works in conjunction with vitamin A for complete skin cell rejuvenation.
- Aloe vera and acai extract use their soothing properties to reduce visible inflammation and redness, while hydrating the skin.[1] B.

Science
"Polyhydroxy acids (PHA) are a new generation of exfoliating acids. PHAs are different from traditional exfoliating acids, as they have more hydroxyl (OH) groups within their molecular structure. More OH groups make the molecule more larger, so they do not penetrate as much into the lower layers of the skin. Instead, they act on the surface of the skin without disturbing the delicate layers below. This ensures optimal skin renewal with minimal irritation. They work by breaking down the "glue" that binds dead, dull cells to the skin's surface. This helps accelerate cell renewal, while revealing a visibly brighter and smoother complexion. PHAs also have powerful moisturizing properties. which means they draw moisture from the air into the skin to increase hydration. The result is a soft, soothing sensation on the skin, without any of the drying or irritating effects often associated with common acidic toners."
