DESCRIPTION OF GLUCONOLACTONE

Gluconolactone is an innovative ingredient from the group of polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) and is considered one of the latest trends in skincare. Unlike classic AHAs such as glycolic or lactic acid, Gluconolactone is exceptionally gentle, making it suitable even for sensitive or dry skin. It supports skin regeneration, provides deep hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and also offers antioxidant protection against free radicals.

EFFECTS OF GLUCONOLACTONE

Gluconolactone provides multiple benefits: it gently removes dead skin cells without irritation, leaving the skin smoother and more even. Its strong moisturizing properties plump the skin and reduce visible dryness lines. At the same time, it improves elasticity, calms irritated skin, and delivers an anti-aging boost through antioxidant activity.

USES OF GLUCONOLACTONE

Gluconolactone is found in serums, cleansing foams, toners, creams, and masks. It is especially popular in anti-aging formulations, sensitive skin care, and products that combine exfoliation with hydration. Due to its excellent tolerability, it is suitable for daily use, even for skin types that cannot tolerate traditional AHAs.
