Ingredients Explained

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

Gluconolactone 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.

If you have Acne struggles, this product is for you.. this product is too perfect! Works well with my combo skin!
I've heard nothing but good things so I'm very confused about my reaction. It broke me out so bad (especially my chin) and it wasn't just an allergic reaction or over-exfoliation, I got big juicy pimples everywhere and I have no idea why.
