Gluconolactone is a PHA derived from a sugar molecule that is found in the skin. Since it is a larger molecule containing multiple hydoxyl groups, it penetrates the skin slowly and with more hydrating properties compared to Alpha Hydroxyacid (AHA), making it optimal for sensitive skin patients. Gluconolactone is highly moisturizing, non-irritating and is also a natural anti-oxidant. Gluconolactone is a patented and exclusive technology of NeoStrata. Gluconolactone provides the surface texture improvements of other AHAs such as glycolic acid, and offers the same full strength benefits including skin smoothening, reduction in the appearance of firmness and more even skin tone. Gluconolactone is perfect for sensitive and dry skin, cosmetically treated skin and first time AHA users.
