How does a glutathione peel work?
The acids in the peel lift away dull surface cells, so fresher, brighter skin shows through. Glutathione is an antioxidant shown in lab studies to slow the enzyme your skin uses to make dark pigment, adding a brightening boost on top.
In a placebo-controlled trial, women who used a 2% glutathione lotion twice a day for 10 weeks had measurably less pigment than with a placebo, and their skin became smoother and better hydrated too. It brightens and evens tone; it does not change your natural skin colour.
Who shouldn’t have a glutathione peel?
It isn’t suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, if you are allergic to its ingredients, or with sunburnt, broken or infected skin, or soon after a laser or other peel. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
Glutathione peel, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor checks your skin tone, pigment and goals.
- Preparation: the skin is cleansed; some people start a prep cream 2–4 weeks before.
- Treatment: the peel is applied, timed and removed, taking about 30–45 minutes.
- Course: usually 2–3 peels, about four weeks apart.
- Maintenance: a top-up peel every few months, with daily sunscreen.
Results and recovery
Your skin looks fresher and more radiant within days of the first peel. Uneven tone then softens steadily over the course, and daily sunscreen keeps that brighter look going for longer.
Mild redness, tightness or light flaking can last a few days, and most people go back to work the same day. The glow fades over time, so a regular top-up peel keeps your skin looking even.
Aftercare
- No make-up for 12–24 hours
- Don’t pick or peel flaking skin
- Pause retinol and scrubs for a few days
- Wear sunscreen every day
