Professional chemical peels can cost hundreds of pounds per session, and they are certainly not affordable for everyone. However, if you’re looking for a gentle, at-home product, Medik8‘s home chemical peel, Sleep Glycolic, has been recommended by shoppers. Of course, it won’t replace a professional chemical peel, but according to customers who have tried it, the product does offer “glowing” results and can even “reduce pores.”
The product is also currently discounted by 20% on the LookFantastic website, down from £39 to £31.20. It’s a leave-on treatment that claims to get to work while you sleep, with Medik8 saying it is designed to rejuvenate dull, uneven, or congested skin. The brand says the product works by eliminating dead skin cells to leave a smoother and brighter complexion, but it does so gently, reports the Mirror.
Medik8 also claims it will both soften texture and fine lines with repeated use. In a review, one shopper said they had seen a change to the texture of their skin. They wrote: “I really like this product, which I use as part of my routine a few times a week. It makes my complexion look brighter and my face look more even. I would definitely buy it again when it runs out.”
Another customer said: “I love that it works while you sleep, and I’ve had no irritation (rare for me). My pores have dramatically reduced, and it also leaves my skin really soft.”
The product has also been described as giving glowy results: “I love this product. It has helped add to the glow of my skin that I’m already getting from using other Medik8 products. . . People are commenting on my skin. I never had this in my life, so it’s great at 46!”
So far, it has plenty of positive reviews from shoppers who say they have seen noticeable results. On LookFantastic, it has an overall customer rating of 4.8 out of five stars.
However, one customer said: “I don’t know if I’m using it right, but it’s not a game changer for me. It definitely does something, but for the price and brand, I was expecting a bit more, to be honest.”
