The detail on SpecKare GDL
from SpecChem
Gluconolactone (GDL) is a superstar and especially if your skin is sensitive it’s a must try. It will smooth your skin, even out the skin tone and even give anti-aging benefits and all this without irritation. It also can help strengthening and enhancing the function of skin barrier.
GDL also has antioxidant and chelating properties, which means that it can prevent oxidation of easily oxidised materials.
GDL is a sixcarbon polyhydroxy acid (PHA) lactone that hydrolyzes to gluconic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), in the presence of water in a moisturizer formulation or in the skin.
The hydrolysate of GDL is one of many PHAs, even though you would probably not guess it from its name. PHAs are close relatives to the famous AHAs, both in terms of similar chemical structure and similar effects on the skin. They are often marketed as new-generation AHAs. So the main promise of GDL (and also its brother, the other most often used PHA, lactobionic acid) is that it has comparable awesome skin benefits to AHAs but without the irritation as a side effect. In fact PHAs are so gentle that you can even use them if your skin is very sensitive (even if you have rosacea or atopic dermatitis) and they are also suggested post cosmetic procedure to prolong and enhance the skincare benefits. As opposed to AHAs that increase sun sensitivity, GDL was shown not to do that.
