If you're new to Press & Clear, we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use.

After cleansing in the morning and/or evening, hold a facial pad (reusable is best) firmly over Press & Clear and push down 3-4 times.

Step 3

Sweep the pad over the complexion, avoiding the delicate eye area.

To secure, twist the pump clockwise until it clicks. For Press & Clear Refill, transfer the pump saved from your previous Press & Clear bottle onto the Press & Clear Refill. Twist clockwise until it clicks into place.

NOTE

Store out of direct sunlight. New users should apply once a day and note the skin’s response, then use up to twice daily.

• Encapsulated 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA)

   

  Salicylic acid promotes a visibly clarified complexion by decongesting and exfoliating from within the pore. Innovative encapsulation technology ensures 2% salicylic acid is gradually delivered into your skin for comfortable daily use - even on sensitive complexions.

   

• Polylysine

   

  Polylysine selectively targets blemish-causing bacteria while supporting the skin’s microbiome, delivering gentle yet effective blemish control.

   

• 2% Tranexamic Acid

   

  An effective brightening ingredient which works to visibly even areas of uneven skin tone. This also helps to minimise the appearance of post-blemish imperfections and dark spots.

   

• Fermented Rice Extract (previously known as Sake)

   

  Rich in natural amino acids, helping to hydrate and nourish the complexion, promoting a healthy skin glow.
