Evidence: In a double-blind trial of 150 people with mild-to-moderate acne, a 14% gluconolactone solution and a 5% benzoyl peroxide lotion each reduced inflamed and non-inflamed lesion counts significantly more than the vehicle lotion, and fewer side-effects were reported with gluconolactone than with benzoyl peroxide.
