Glutathione: A Multi-Purpose Antioxidant

 

   Glutathione is an antioxidant that's a free radicals scavanger with further added benefits for skin. Topically has shown to help reduce hyperpigmentation & brightening the overall skintone. The ingredient can be founded in a variety of different branded serums & moisturizers. As well as having anti-aging benefits with improving elasticity and fine lines/wrinkles. As well as helping with inflammation, which is the root of all evil when it comes to skin health.

   One of its' maid components is fighting oxidative stress & environmental aggressors on the skin. With its skin protective properties, coupled with sunscreen on top promotes more of a stronger "shield" so to speak. With also its brightening abilities can be an excellent  ingredient for skin. Glutathione is also comprised with amino acids which are glutamic acid, glycine, cystine & making it labeled as a peptide as well, which is why adding to its anti-aging benefits to its arsenal of benefits. Plays well with other ingredients as well and adding an extra further boost to such as with Vitamin C, licorice root extract, kojic acid, arbutin, niacinimide as well as with other peptides.

   I definitely believe it would make an excellent addition to any routine. A multi-purpose ingredient with a cocktail of other beneficial ingredients can make it into a powerhouse formula. More better known for brightening dark spots, however as mentioned it still holds a bevy full of benefits all around. Primarily not as well known as other antioxidants but now garnering some recognition for its functional purposes as an ingredient.

P.S. As usual always Sunscreen! An SPF 30 or higher. Protected skin is the best skin for all your serums & moisturizers that go underneath to work its hardest to improve & repair. 💪😊
