- Gentle Exfoliation: Gluconolactone gently removes dead cells from the skin's surface without causing irritation, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.
- Long-lasting hydration: This ingredient attracts and retains water, helping to maintain continuous hydration and strengthening the skin barrier.
- Antioxidant action: By neutralizing free radicals, gluconolactone protects the skin from environmental damage and helps prevent the signs of premature aging.
