Dr. Nayan Patel, founder of Auro Wellness and author of The Glutathione Revolution, who strongly advocates glutathione's benefits for skin: “As a key component to the continuous regeneration of healthy skin, glutathione plays a critical protective role. It works at regulating skin pigment, improving elasticity, reducing wrinkles and fighting against aging”.

Dr Patel’s 101 on Glutathione Skincare:

What is glutathione skincare? Glutathione skincare is a type of skincare that contains glutathione (GSH). Glutathione is a molecule that is present in every cell, where it works as a potent detoxifier and protector of cellular function. Nicknamed the “mother” or “master” antioxidant, it can help protect us from the harmful effects of oxidative stress which is linked to many skin issues like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, age spots, blemishes, sunspots, redness, inflammation, wrinkles, fine lines, and more.

Glutathione offers a number of benefits for skincare, including:

• Boosting Skin Health. Glutathione is responsible for disarming free radicals, recycling other antioxidants, and encouraging cell turnover and collagen production. Thus our skin is better able to heal from damage caused by UV rays, environmental toxins, and aging.
• Preventing or Reversing Signs of Skin Aging: Many products claim to help hide or treat things like forehead wrinkles, age spots, or sagging skin. But they do nothing to treat one of the main causes of skin aging: oxidative stress. By limiting free radical activity, glutathione lowers our oxidative stress and promotes healing. This protects skin elasticity, firmness, and plumpness which in turn prevents signs of premature aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
• Brightening Overall Skin Tone and Trouble Spots: ###/strongshows this is an effective way to lighten dark spots from age, blemishes, or scars.
• Improving Symptoms and Appearance of Acne and Other Issues: ###/strongsevere acne is linked with lower GSH and higher oxidative stress while people with rosacea use a great deal of GSH. As with skin aging, increasing glutathione fights these problems at their source, leading to improvement in skin function and appearance from the inside out. Even severe skin diseases like psoriasis show symptom improvement after supplementing amino acids, the building blocks of glutathione.

What are the best glutathione skin care products?

In recent years, more and more glutathione skin care products have hit the market. However, not all glutathione products are created the same. The best glutathione products come in a form that’s small enough to pass through the skin’s protective barrier. This type of glutathione uses sub-nanotechnology to deliver a highly absorbable form of reduced L-glutathione, which enables the glutathione molecule to absorb intact into your skin. Only a few companies offer this technology for glutathione, and only one company, Auro Skincare, offers this technology for glutathione skincare.
