There has been a lot of talk around Glutathione in the skincare world over the past few years and with good reason. Let's take a look at Glutathione in skincare.

What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is a tripeptide which means that it is made up of three amino acids, Cysteine, Cysteine and Glutamic Acid and they play a pivotal role in bodily functioning. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect skin from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress. These are some of the leading causes of premature aging. Glutathione is not only important for your skin but also for your body to function properly by supporting detoxification of the liver and kidneys, protecting immune system functioning and assisting in cell regeneration. And of course, when your body is healthy, your skin has a better chance to thrive!
Even Skin Tone
Glutathione assists in inhibiting tyrosinase which is the core enzyme that is responsible for melanin production. Excessive melanin production causes hyperpigmentation. By inhibiting melanin production, skin tone is more even. Glutathione not only regulates melanin production but can also assist in fading hyperpigmentation which leads to greater skin uniformity in colour and improves radiance and luminescence.
Antioxidant Protection
One of the key causes of premature aging and dull skin is damage caused by environmental damage and oxidative stress. Glutathione neutralizes free radicals. UV damage, pollutants and environmental stressors lead to a breakdown of collagen and elastin in skin. When these break down, signs of aging become more prominent. Glutathione is able to prevent oxidative stress which means skin is more resilient and able to maintain its radiance.
Anti-Aging
As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin which is what contributes to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and skins general firmness. Glutathione is known to support tissue repair and skin regeneration boosting skins elasticity. This contributes to skin feeling more supple, softer while maintaining its resilience.
Glutathione: Advanced Luminescence
Because Glutathione targets skin tone and creates a more even complexion, it is advances in its ability to provide luminescence and radiance to skin. With the other benefits of glutathione, skin appears younger, feels more supple and is more resilient.
