Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanse
Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanse is an exfoliating AHA/BHA gel cleanser with mandelic, lactic and salicylic acids that visibly smooths and brightens the complexion without leaving skin feeling dry or tight. It is Medik8's global bestselling cleanser, suitable for all skin types and especially good for anyone wanting to improve the look of dullness, uneven texture and early signs of ageing.
The uplifting citrus-scented gel transforms into a light foam on contact with water, lifting away oil, dirt and impurities while the acids work on two levels: L-mandelic and L-lactic acid gently exfoliate the surface, and salicylic acid works within the pore to visibly decongest. Glycerin keeps skin hydrated and comfortable, and mangosteen peel extract adds antioxidant support. Used as the second step of a double cleanse, Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanse leaves skin thoroughly clean, refined and ready for your serums.
