Dr.G Dermoisture Barrier.D Daily Lotion 200ml
Squalane is fourth, ceramide NP twelfth and cholesterol twenty-sixth, so the barrier lipids sit in the top half of this 200ml lotion's list rather than dusted in at the end.

How it works
The Dermoisture Barrier.D Daily Lotion is a 200ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The exfoliant it is built around is Gluconolactone, named twenty-seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ceramide NP, so the exfoliant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Gluconolactone stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the lotion format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the lotion Dr.G sells in Korea, Gluconolactone and all.

Key actives
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. On this lotion's own ingredient list it is named twenty-seventh.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. It is named twenty-third on this lotion's list, alongside Gluconolactone.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphateantioxidant
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a water-soluble, stable vitamin C salt. It works at near-neutral pH, so it appears in formulas aimed at skin that pure ascorbic acid leaves stinging. The panel names it forty-seventh on this lotion's list, beside Gluconolactone.
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. It is named twelfth on this lotion's list, alongside Gluconolactone.
Cholesterolbarrier lipid
Cholesterol is the third of the three lipids the outer layer of skin is built from, with ceramides and fatty acids. Formulas that carry all three are following the ratio skin itself holds. It is named twenty-sixth on this lotion's list, alongside Gluconolactone.
Where does this lotion go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a lotion goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Gluconolactone and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market lotion or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Gluconolactone and all. We match this lotion to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Gluconolactone?
Tocopherol, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ceramide NP. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Gluconolactone sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Cholesterol, 7-Dehydrocholesterol and Pollen Extract.

How to use
- Use it morning and night as the final leave-on step of the routine.
- A small dab covers the whole face; add a second thin pass on dry areas rather than one thick one.
- Apply it while the skin is still slightly damp from the step before, which is when it spreads furthest.
- Avoid piling on extra in the morning if sunscreen is going over it, since a heavy base is what makes the next layer roll.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this lotion on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Gluconolactone on the list.
- Gluconolactone on this list makes this lotion an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.

This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
