# Gluconolactone

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/gluconolactone

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Germany.

Gluconolactone gently clears inflamed and non-inflamed acne lesions, balances sebum and moisture, and refines skin tone and pores with remarkably few side-effects. This versatile ingredient suits dry skin and oily skin particularly well, and it is most commonly found in gentle toners and soothing exfoliators. It fits seamlessly into a daily routine because it works well with [glycolic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycolic-acid), [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/vitamin-c), and [AHA blend glycolic and citric acids](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/aha-blend-glycolic-and-citric-acids).

[The Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1992](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1303072/) [Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37357656/)

### How do you use gluconolactone?

You can use gluconolactone daily by applying it after glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or [mandelic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/mandelic-acid), or after [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/vitamin-c), to help hydrate and calm your skin.

### Should you use gluconolactone in the morning or at night?

[The Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1992](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1303072/) [Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37357656/)

### Does gluconolactone cause purging or irritation?

Gluconolactone is unlikely to cause irritation because it is a very gentle, PHA exfoliating acid that hydrates the skin while smoothing texture.

[The Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1992](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1303072/) [Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37357656/)

### Which skin types is gluconolactone best for?

Gluconolactone is best for dry, oily, combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin, as well as skin with dark spots.
