Evens skin toneNiacinamide, Gluconolactone + 1 moreStrong evidence
“4% niacinamide, derived from vitamin B3, relieves irritation in acne-prone skin while eliminating imperfections associated with inflammation and preventing the appearance of hyperpigmentation marks.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: gluconolactone, niacinamide
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
ExfoliationGluconolactone, Salicylic acidStrong evidence
“0,5% salicylic acid, helps gently clear dead skin cells, refining skin texture and unclogging the pores, as well as regulating sebum production and calming inflammation in the skin.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: gluconolactone.
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Gluconolactone + 5 moreGood evidence

“Sebiaclear Active Breakout Treatment Gel”
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains niacinamide.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: gluconolactone
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · Niacinamide, Gluconolactone + 1 moreStrong evidence
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains gluconolactone, niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Gluconolactone, TocopherolModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (gluconolactone) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
