What Glutathione does

A popular "glow" antioxidant in India. Topically it has some evidence for mild brightening, but it is a large, unstable molecule. Expect modest results compared with vitamin C, arbutin or niacinamide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Glutathione and Hyaluronic Acid together?

Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Glutathione and Hyaluronic Acid, and neither makes the other less effective.

Which goes first, Glutathione or Hyaluronic Acid?

Apply Hyaluronic Acid first, then Glutathione. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.

Should I use Glutathione in the morning or at night?

Glutathione: works morning or night. Use daily as part of a brightening routine, always with sunscreen. Glutathione injections and drips for skin whitening are not approved for that use and carry real risks.

Should I use Hyaluronic Acid in the morning or at night?

Hyaluronic Acid: works morning or night. Apply on slightly damp skin and seal with a moisturiser. In very dry air, skipping the seal can leave skin tighter.

Is Glutathione with Hyaluronic Acid safe during pregnancy?

Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Glutathione. Check with your doctor.
