## How it works

Gluconolactone is named on the ingredient panel on this essence. Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. Its molecule is too large to penetrate quickly, so it smooths the surface without the sting of an AHA, and it is a humectant at the same time. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide and Panax Ginseng Root Extract. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

## How to use

1. Pat into clean, slightly damp skin after toner and before serum, morning and/or night, as a lightweight hydrating layer.
