Ukrainian beauty brand Cocos presents its Gluconolactone Peel. This is a highly effective and at the same time affordable product for at-home chemical peels. It delicately removes dead cells and impurities from the skin surface, makes the skin softer and smoother, restores its natural barrier function, and stimulates collagen and elastin production in the epidermis, preventing premature skin ageing. Contains 15% of gluconolactone and 5% of organic acids. PH 2.8.
The product is based on glucono delta-lactone (GDL), also known as gluconolactone. It is a lactone of d-gluconic acid that partially hydrolyses to gluconic acid upon contact with water. The effect of gluconolactone peel is similar to that of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels, but since its molecules are larger, it affects only the upper layers of the epidermis. As a result, gluconolactone peel is more gentle than AHA peels.
Gluconolactone peel is considered perfect for dry and sensitive skin. It is also suitable for mature or dehydrated skin. This chemical peel makes the skin super smooth, produces a strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect, prevents premature ageing, boosts the skin’s elasticity and firmness, eliminates the signs of photo ageing, and restores the skin’s healthy glow.
It is noteworthy that gluconolactone does not increase the skin’s photo sensitivity, which means that you can use gluconolactone peel all year round (except for high concentrations of 50% or more). In addition, it should be noted that due to its gentle effect, gluconolactone peel practically never causes any tingling or burning. It doesn’t irritate even overly sensitive skin and can be used by people with atopic dermatitis or rosacea.
The use of gluconolactone peel at home doesn’t require special preparation. All you need to do is cleanse your skin using a cleansing gel with an acidic pH and then use Cocos’s Pre-Chemical Peel Lotion for Instant Skin Preparation. Gluconolactone Peel 20% can be used once a week on a regular basics, which allows to keep your skin clear and healthy at all times.
Directions. Wash your face with a facial cleansing gel with an acidic pH. Apply Pre-Chemical Peel Lotion for Instant Skin Preparation or wipe your face with a cotton pad soaked in a 70% solution of ethanol.
