Blend

Glutathione + Kojic Acid

Glutathione and kojic acid is a combination of two agents used together in cosmetic skin-lightening and brightening products. Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant tripeptide that can shift melanin production toward lighter pigments, while kojic acid is a fungal-derived compound that inhibits tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin synthesis. Marketed in creams, soaps, and oral supplements, the pairing is intended to reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone, although the strength of the clinical evidence varies.

Blend

Glutathione + Kojic Acid + Glycolic Acid

Glutathione, kojic acid, and glycolic acid is a three-ingredient combination used in cosmetic skin-lightening and brightening formulations. It joins two agents that reduce melanin production, the antioxidant peptide glutathione and the tyrosinase inhibitor kojic acid, with glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates the surface of the skin. The blend is designed to fade hyperpigmentation and improve skin tone and texture by combining pigment-reducing and exfoliating actions.
