PHA/ GLUCONOLACTONE
Gluconolactone is a PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid), known for its gentle exfoliating properties and high molecular size, which allows it to penetrate less deeply than AHAs, making it suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
This multifunctional ingredient offers numerous skin benefits:
✔ Gentle exfoliation – Smooths and decongests the skin without irritation.
✔ Deep hydration – Retains moisture in the epidermis, reducing water loss and strengthening the skin barrier.
✔ Anti-aging properties – Helps smooth fine lines & wrinkles while neutralizing free radicals to combat photoaging.
✔ Acne-fighting & pore-refining – Known for its comedolytic properties, it helps reduce acne lesions and minimize the appearance of pores.
PHAs like Gluconolactone are 'Polyhydroxy Acids' which have a high molecular weight and therefore they do not enter the skin as deeply and cause less sensitivity and no photosensitvity. BHAs or 'Betahydroxy Acids' are of a medium molecular weight (eg. Salicylic Acid), while Glycolic, Lactic, Mandelic, Azelaic Acids are AHAs or 'Alphahydroxy Acids' with low molecular weight which are deeply exfoliating.
