Learn more about WaterGluconolactone is a PHA. PHAs are a great gentle alternative to traditional AHAs.
When applied, Gluconolactone has the same affect on skin as AHAs such as lactic acid. It helps dissolve the dead skin cells in the top layer of your skin. This improves texture and brightens the skin.
PHAs are more gentle than AHAs due to their larger structure. They do not penetrate as deeply as AHAs and take a longer time to dissolve dead cells. Studies show PHAs do not cause as much irritation.

only thing that consistently cleared my breakouts
Malezia Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser 9 ingredients
This is the last cleanser you’ll ever need. I’ve become so paranoid about aggravating my fungal acne that I had to drop my 10yr relationship with my OG cleanser. It wasn’t FA safe but I continued to use it since it was a rinse-off formula and it never worsened my FA. Oh how the turn tables…..
After a long stubborn patch of FA refused to die, I blamed my cleanser. I’m not 100% sure if switching Show more
TL;DR: New cleanser holy grail! 🏆 Very hydrating and formulated to be acne safe, especially for FA. Kind of pricey.
I will disclaimer I have only used this once so far, but I consider myself a cleanser snob, and know what works for me within one or two uses. That said, this cleanser is a WOW. I’d been using Slurp’s Gel as my staple, but this is on a whole other level.
First, it feels great Show more
