10% gluconolactone peel that exfoliates gently for dry, sensitive skin.

What the community says

A rinse-off PHA peel with 10% gluconolactone, plus glycerin and centella, for people who want exfoliation without the usual acid brutality. Best for dry or sensitive skin; leave it too often and you’ll overdo the barrier.

What people love

  • 10% gluconolactone keeps exfoliation on the gentler side
  • Dry-skin friendly with glycerin and centella
  • Rinse-off peel, so it’s easier to control than leave-on acids

Watch out for

  • Not the move if you want strong acid-level resurfacing
  • Still too much if your barrier is already cranky
  • Only works as a 2x-week night step, not a daily one
