Glutathione

What is glutathione?

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally produced by the body. In skincare, it’s known for its brightening and protective properties, making it a popular ingredient in K-Beauty formulas. Unlike harsh bleaching agents, glutathione skincare works gently to even out skin tone, boost radiance and protect against free radicals.

Where does glutathione come from?

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant produced by the body to help protect cells from damage and support overall skin health. In skincare, it’s usually derived from safe, lab-developed sources that mimic the natural compound. This ensures high purity, stability and effectiveness in brightening and protecting the skin. Thanks to advanced K-Beauty innovation, glutathione can now be found in a wide range of skincare products.

What does glutathione do for the skin?

Glutathione for skin is valued for multiple benefits, including:

  • Brightening dull, uneven skin tone

  • Reducing the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation

  • Protecting the skin from environmental stressors

  • Supporting a healthy, radiant glow

It’s often combined with other powerhouse ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid for enhanced results.

Is glutathione good for skin?

Yes — glutathione creams, serums and toners are excellent for anyone looking to achieve a brighter, more even complexion. Its antioxidant benefits make it ideal for dull, tired or uneven skin, and it’s suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

What are the benefits of glutathione for skin?

The benefits of glutathione go beyond brightening. This ingredient helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve clarity, and fight visible signs of ageing. Whether you choose a glutathione serum or a light glutathione cream, these products work to reveal a luminous, healthy-looking complexion.
