Glutathione, available in an oral form, sublingual form, topical applications, and injections, became immensely popular for its perceived effectiveness in changing skin complexion. Glutathione works on the pathway of tyrosinase, which is where pigmentation is created. So, it can reduce pigmentation theoretically from that pathway. However, data for actual skin lightening is very poor. What we do find is that it does boost your antioxidant level. It does detoxify. In case you tend pigmentation or oxidative damage or excessive tanning due to less antioxidants in your skin, then glutathione can be preventative and more treatment based for that.

Glutathione has gained popularity as a sought-after ingredient in skincare formulations due to its multifaceted benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, depigmenting, and anti-aging properties. Recognized for promoting healthy skin, this ingredient is featured in a diverse array of skincare products, ranging from face washes and creams to lotions, gels, serums, & dietary supplements. 

Its rising prominence in skincare formulations is attributed to its robust antioxidant properties, known for skin brightening tone, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhancing overall skin health. It is best combined with procedures such as lasers & peels as well as skincare to reduce the production of melanin (pigment).
