What’s the hype surrounding Glutathione?
Glutathione has resulted to be as a ‘wonder’ drug for skin lightening and treatment of hyperpigmentation, especially in ethnic populations with darker skin tones.
Glutathione– one of the body’s most important and potent antioxidants – occurs naturally in our bodies and keeps cell healthy by removing free radicals, toxins and heavy metals. It also improves energy production, as well as a powerful immunity booster, and delays early signs of aging in the skin.

Besides that, Glutathione also helps the liver in eliminating toxins and drugs, improving the overall appearance of the skin.

Because of its powerful antioxidant effects and ability to help lighten dark spots and brighten the skin, glutathione is a key ingredient in a number of beauty products.
