What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Glutathione (as effervescent tablets)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward an over-the-counter option for reducing facial dark spots and evening skin tone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The placebo group helps check if any improvement is real, but the effect may be modest.
