Glutathione cream for men: does it work and how to use it
Why men use glutathione cream, how to fit it around shaving, and what to expect.
Glutathione cream works the same way for men as for women. Men often have oilier skin, more sun exposure from commuting and sport, and razor irritation, so a few adjustments help.
Why men use it
- Tan from bikes, sport and outdoor work.
- Dull, tired-looking skin.
- Dark marks after pimples or ingrown hairs.
A simple routine for men
- Night: wash with a gentle face wash such as Gluta Boost Face Wash, then a pea-sized amount of GlutaNex Glutathione Night Cream.
- Morning: wash and apply a light, non-greasy sunscreen.
Around shaving
Freshly shaved skin can sting. Shave in the morning and apply the night cream at night, or wait a few hours after shaving. Skip the cream on any nicks.
What to expect
Softer skin within days; a brighter, more even look over 4 to 8 weeks; tan lighter over 8 to 12 weeks with daily sunscreen.
Frequently asked questions
Can men use glutathione cream?
Yes. It works the same for men; use it at night and sunscreen every morning.
Can I use glutathione cream after shaving?
Wait until the skin has settled, ideally apply at night if you shave in the morning, and avoid nicks.
