Glutathione

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant peptide found in the skin and is made up of cysteine, glycine, and glutamate.

What are the benefits?

Glutathione is thought to improve cellular metabolism and oxygen consumption in the skin. It has been discovered to shield fibroblasts from free radical-induced oxidation and to serve as a potent antioxidant. According to research, it acts as a depigmentation agent or skin-lightener by deactivating the tyrosinase enzyme and quench free radicals that lead to the production of tyrosinase and melanin.
