I love gluconolylactone because it's a very gentle but super effective exfoliant and not only getting rid of like dead skin cells on your face, but there's also some research starting to show that it helps with reducing hyperpigmentation and dark spots.▶ 8:49–8:54

Exfoliating your skin during the winter is really important, but you don't want to overdo it with overly powerful exfoliating formulas, which is one of the reasons I love PHA and think that it's perfect for winter time.▶ 9:34–9:40
The gluconolactone in this also helps to absorb moisture from the environment and deliver it into your skin, which is perfect for combating dryness, getting rid of that flakiness, and helping to really nourish your skin's barrier overnight.▶ 9:49–9:54
I just feel like this is really the perfect fit for winter time cuz it's still getting you those like active treating ingredients but not overdoing it.
