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.
Gluconolactone has some interesting properties:
In a 2004 study, Gluconolactone was found to prevent UV damage in mouse skin cells. Gluconolactone has not been found to increase sun sensivity. However, we still recommend wearing SPF daily.
This ingredient is is an created by reacting gluconic acid with an alcohol.

Sodium Citrate is the sodium salts of citric acid. In skincare, it is used to alter pH levels and acts as a preservative.
Sodium Citrate helps maintain the pH of a product. Normal pH level of skin is slightly acidic (~4.75-5.5). The acidity of our skin is maintained by our glands and skin biome. Being slightly acidic allows our skin to create an "acid mantle". This acid mantle is a thin barrier that protects our skin from bacteria and contaminants.
Sodium Citrate is a chelating agent. It neutralizes metal ions from water and prevents them from binding to other ingredients. This ensures the other ingredients will not be altered.
Learn more about Sodium CitrateDisodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.
It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.

Lovely toner pads. Good for reducing redness, irritation and I also used them as a quick morning cleanse. Not too harsh on the skin either. Probably wouldn't repurchase as much as I enjoyed the experience I didn't find a long term use for them in my routine.

This is skin texture's final boss. After using this, the texture, gone. Skin, smooth. I started using this everyday once I got it, but I haven't gotten any irritation or acne, so that's good. The first few weeks you definitely see a difference in texture. I just hate how it's always sold out.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this soooo much. First of all, it literally smells like a spa, it comes with a cute little toner pad plucker so that your fingers don’t cross contaminate the contents. I even showed it to my neighbours who are also obsessed with Korean skincare and they were so jealous of how it looks. But the use was even better. The needley toner pads are double sided one side being rough and the other smooth so it exfoliates really well combined with the gentle moisture the toner provides. What I love about these is how BIG they are! I wash my face double cleansing, exfoliate and the needley pads brush off the remaining debris and dead skin cells I otherwise wouldn’t have seen. The best part about these is that you can use them everyday if you want to. I only use mine every other day sometimes only twice a week. Some people cut them in half since they’re so big and they last even LONGER. I really cherish mine. They make a big difference to my skin and are at times the single contributor to preventing a breakout because it like brings a clean slate to my face so it’s wiped of all gunk.
