Description
Gluconolactone is an active ingredient that gently treats the skin without affecting the deeper layers. The effect is very similar to that of AHAs (fruit acids like glycolic or lactic acid), but as a type of polyhydroxy acid, gluconolactone is more beneficial. As it contains five hydroxyl groups, it has more moisturizing properties compared to alpha hydroxy acid with only one hydroxyl group.
Because it is a larger molecule (with a three-dimensional molecule of 178 Da), gluconolactone penetrates the skin slowly, without burning it, as other chemical peels do with alternative active ingredients. That’s why non-irritating gluconolactone is perfect even for dry and hypersensitive skin. It also activates lipid synthesis in keratinocytes, providing moisture to the stratum corneum of the skin. Gluconolactone has the ability to transfer water molecules, playing a central role in skin hydration. As a chelating agent, gluconolactone has the ability to bind and remove free radicals from the body.
The oxidation process, caused by an overabundance of iron and the influence of ultraviolet rays, occurs in skin pigmentation, a typical sign of photoaging. Gluconolactone helps bind free iron ions, preventing the oxidation process and the consequences of ultraviolet radiation. Gluconolactone initiates processes that precede hyaluronic acid production in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, as well as matrix metalloproteinase and collagen synthesis.
Properties
Properties: The interaction of gluconolactone with the skin begins as soon as it is applied, affecting the acid mantle, restoring the proper pH. Recovery of skin barrier integrity depends on serine protease activity, which means that the reduction in serine protease activity caused by lower pH levels in the acid mantle can help maintain cell junctions. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, stimulate the skin’s immune system. Gluconolactone is a natural antioxidant as effective as vitamin C and vitamin E.
Gluconolactone blocks the synthesis of pro-interleukin-1, which can cause increased inflammation.

Benefits
Dead skin cells are gently removed, causing no skin irritation. Gluconolactone is used for inflammatory skin diseases accompanied by hyperkeratosis: psoriasis, acne, dermatitis, anti-aging as a means of preventing and correcting age changes of the skin, especially sensitive ones. Due to the absence of irritating action, it does not require neutralization, it can be carried out often enough to achieve a noticeable effect.
Improves skin hydration, softens expression lines and wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, evens out skin tone due to keratolytic action, removes roughness and tightens pores. Gluconolactone does not cause irritation or sensitization of the skin and mucous membranes.
Indications
indications: epidermal dehydration, acne, comedones, blackheads, pimples, acne, post-acne, epidermal hyperpigmentation (spots on the outer layer of the skin), hyperkeratosis, seborrhea, enlarged pores, loose and saggy skin, dull and uneven skin tone, photoaging (caused by excessive ultraviolet radiation).
Precautions: For external use only.
Do not apply to broken or peeling skin. Immediately wash with water and discontinue use if excessive redness or irritation occurs.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Contraindications
Contraindications: pregnancy and lactation, herpes, warts, secondary infection, small scratch marks on the skin, skin hypersensitivity, oncological diseases, eczema, psoriasis, sunburned skin
