What it is
Glutathione is a tripeptide antioxidant found naturally in human cells. In topical cosmetics it is positioned for tone-evening and a brightening claim, often featured in serums and ampoules in the K-beauty brightening category. Topical efficacy depends heavily on formulation stability; oral and IV use are debated separately and outside our scope.
