L-glutathione powder is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is typically produced by the liver. Glutathione is present during vital bodily functions like tissue building, producing proteins and chemicals, and boosting the immune system. These processes are not only good for your body, but you’ll see a difference in your skin, too. Glutathione stores in the body deplete with time due to oxidative stress, etc. However, Glutathione currently can be obtained by semi-synthesis. (source: Modern Cosmetics)

This results in improving the skin brightening and even tone
