MOA: Gluconolactone Peptide is a sophisticated hybrid active that combines the benefits of Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) and peptides, offering a multi-mechanism approach to skin rejuvenation.
The gluconolactone (a PHA) moiety functions as a gentle humectant exfoliant. It works by breaking the ionic bonds between dead corneocytes, promoting a smoother texture without compromising the skin barrier.
Stimulates fibroblasts to boost Collagen & Elastin synthesis, reducing fine lines and improving skin firmness while enhancing barrier functions like ceramides and filaggrin.
Protects skin from free radical damage and prevents protein glycation, preserving elasticity and preventing premature aging.



Excellent mildness; suitable for sensitive skin, rosacea, and eczema where traditional AHAs are not tolerated.
Optimal effectiveness between pH 3.5 and 6.0.
Highly compatible with various cosmetic bases; less likely to cause irritation compared to hydroquinone or arbutin.
Usage Level: 2% - 5% in final formulations.



AHA benefits without the irritation.
Hydration, Collagen, and Antioxidant protection in one.
Strengthens the barrier against environmental aggressors.
Unlike AHAs like Glycolic Acid, the Gluconolactone moiety has a larger molecular size, allowing it to exfoliate the skin surface gently without deep, rapid penetration that causes irritation.
Yes. Clinical studies confirm excellent tolerability even for subjects with sensitive skin conditions like rosacea and eczema.
The recommended dosage for optimal anti-aging and hydration results is between 2% and 5% in the final formulation.
Yes, as a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA), it acts as a powerful humectant that draws water into the epidermis for both immediate and long-term hydration.
Absolutely. Due to its non-irritating nature and ability to stimulate collagen, it is an ideal active ingredient for the delicate skin around the eyes.
It should be stored in a tightly closed container in a dry environment at room temperature to maintain its biological activity.
