Glutathione is a base molecular weight thiol-tripeptide that represents a leading role in controlling redox balance. In addition to its exceptional antioxidant qualities, the result of its anti-melanogenic properties has led to its increase as a skin-lightening agent. It is generally used for this sign in some ethnic populations. Still, there is a dichotomy within proof to support its efficacy and safety. The hype around its de-pigmentary features may be a selling gimmick of pharma-cosmeceutical companies.
This study focuses on the different aspects of glutathione: its metabolism, mechanism of action, and the clear evidence to assess its effectiveness as a systemic skin-lightening agent. Glutathione is being in its diminished form and performs an essential role in various physiological functions. Its skin-lightening effects result from direct and indirect interference of the tyrosinase enzyme and changing from eumelanin to phaeomelanin production.
It is possible in oral, topical, and parenteral forms. Although the value of intravenous glutathione doses is widespread, there is no evidence to prove its efficacy. The adverse effects created by intravenous glutathione have attended the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines to begin public information denouncing its use for off-label signs such as skin lightening.
Currently, three randomized controlled trials support the skin-lightening effect and good topical and oral glutathione safety profile. However, fundamental questions such as treatment duration, skin-lightening impact, and support rules remain uncertain. More randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled experiments with larger sample sizes, long-term follow-up, and precise efficacy results are guaranteed to establish the importance of this unit in ailments of hyperpigmentation and skin lightening.
