Preview Beauty Editor Cindy Go deconstructs the
glutathione trend.

By Eunice Lucer Nov 26, 2009
For the past few years, the buzzword glutathione has become synonymous to whitening in the Philippines. But what is it really?

Glutathione is a natural protein that acts as an antioxidant, detoxifier and immune system booster. Aside from its health benefits, it has also been discovered to have positive beauty side effects like pore refinement, elimination of brown spots and hyper pigmentation, anti-aging and the most coveted—whitening, as seen on Belo Essentials endorser Bea Alonzo.

This is why glutathione has been made widely available around the country with three forms to choose from namely: IV (intravenous), oral supplements and topical treatments. However, the drawback is you have to stay on it to continue reaping its health and beauty benefits. Smoking and drinking alcohol are also discouraged to keep its whitening effects.

Click on to see the various and most popular methods of glutathione therapy, and be prepared to see the brighter side of things.
