Skinceuticals Clarifying Clay Masque | Deep pore cleansing skin-refining masque
This creamy facial scrub uses the powerful complex of chemical and physical exfoliants.
Salicylic and mandelic acid dissolve impurities & oil to decongest and tighten pores, whilst natural jojoba grains gently exfoliate away dead skin cells.
Pores are left virtually undetectable and skin feels soft, smooth and supple.
DIANE’S TIP: Use 2/3 times a week after cleansing
Massage into damp skin for 5 mins – can be left on skin for a further 5-10 mins where you have lots of blackheads, blocked pores, bumps under the skin or ingrown hairs
Don’t exfoliate everyday as this strips away the healthy oils.

Medik8 Press and Glow Tonic
Medik8 Press & Glow – Active Exfoliating Tonic for a Smooth, Radiant Complexion
Medik8 Press & Glow is an active, exfoliating toner that gives you a smooth, fresh, glowing complexion without flaking or irritation. Designed to deliver visible radiance while remaining gentle on the skin, this skincare tonic uses next-generation polyhydroxy acid (PHA) technology to offer effective exfoliation with minimal risk of sensitivity.
Why Choose Press & Glow?
The core exfoliating ingredient is gluconolactone (PHA 5.5%), a gentle but effective skin exfoliating acid—offering the benefits of surface cell renewal without the irritation commonly associated with more aggressive acids such as glycolic or salicylic.
Proven to be super hydrating—addressing flaky, sensitised skin that can occur after traditional exfoliating acids.
Press & Glow enables better penetration of active ingredients like vitamin C and A by gently exfoliating the surface of your skin.
With improved skin texture and enhanced radiance, make-up sits beautifully on the smoother skin surface.
Suitable for everyday use, twice a day—even for sensitive skins. No more worrying about daily irritation from your exfoliation tonic.
Key Benefits at a Glance
Gentle daily exfoliation: Uses PHA, not AHA/BHA (no glycolic or salicylic acid) – ideal for those looking for advanced exfoliation without irritation.
Smooths skin texture & brightens skin-tone: Clinically proven to improve skin glow by approximately 20 % in four weeks and deliver smoother, more even skin surface.
Hydration and barrier support: The PHA Gluconolactone also acts as a humectant, drawing in moisture rather than stripping the skin.
Enhances performance of other actives: Use in tandem with vitamin A or vitamin C serums for improved efficacy.
Ideal for sensitive skin: Clinically shown to be gentle, even on sensitive skin types—96 % of sensitive skin users agreed it was gentle with no stinging.
While this formula is designed for twice-daily use, if you are new to exfoliation consider starting once a day and building up as tolerated.
Suitable For

How C-Tetra Vitamin C Radiance Cream works on your skin
Your skin needs antioxidants to defend it against free radical damage from the environment. When environmental free radicals outweigh the antioxidants present in your skin from diet and nutrtion the skin can no longer protect itself. Free radicals create irreparable damage to our cells which leads to visible premature ageing of the skin - discolouration, sagging, wrinkles & malignant cell changes
C-Tetra Cream contains tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stable form of vitamin C that boosts the antioxidant defence levels in the skin. Vitamin C stimulates collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the complexion plump, radiant and youthful. As a lipid-soluble form of vitamin C, it is able to penetrate the skin’s defensive lipid barrier with ease, delivering benefits deep within the skin.
Vitamin C and vitamin E work together synergistically as 'network antioxidants', boosting the cream’s overall antioxidant effect.
C-Tetra Cream also harnesses superior hydration power by combining hyaluronic acid and glycerin with Medik8’s signature Moisture Magnets™. These draw water from the atmosphere and from lower layers of the skin to leave the complexion supple and moisturised.
