Vitamin C and gluconolactone
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying vitamin C first and gluconolactone second, because mild acids help vitamin C absorb better. Vitamin C brightens the skin while gluconolactone gently exfoliates, and together they give the skin a healthy glow. If irritation occurs, a shopper can switch to a lower strength or use the ingredients on alternate days.
