The main difference is that Gluconolactone + Booster is formulated with Gluconolactone, a large molecular weight Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) that gently exfoliates the surface of the skin. This makes it ideal for dry and sensitive skin, which often does not tolerate stronger exfoliating acids. In addition, it incorporates Niacinamide, prebiotics, and soothing botanical extracts to protect and balance the skin while exfoliating.
Yes, Gluconolactone + Booster is designed as a daily exfoliating tonic, especially for dry and sensitive skin. However, if it's your first time using acids, we recommend starting by using it every other night and gradually increasing the frequency according to your skin's tolerance.
Although Gluconolactone is a gentle exfoliant that generally does not increase sun sensitivity as much as other acids, this toner contains Lactic Acid, which can make the skin more susceptible to the sun. As a precaution, and to ensure maximum protection for your skin, it is recommended to use it at night and always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.
This tonic is effective both for providing luminosity and for reducing spots. Gluconolactone and Lactic Acid work on cell renewal, which helps to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and spots. Niacinamide is also a key ingredient for unifying tone and reducing the appearance of new spots, revealing brighter and more even skin.
No, on the contrary. Gluconolactone + Booster is specifically recommended for dry skin and formulated with numerous moisturizing ingredients such as Gluconolactone (which is also a humectant), NMFs, Pentavitin™, and Hidroviton™. These actives ensure that the skin remains hydrated and comfortable, preventing the dryness or tightness that other exfoliants might cause.
