How to use glutathione cream
A simple night routine, step by step.
Use glutathione cream at night on clean, dry skin, and use sunscreen every morning. That's the whole routine.
Night routine
- Cleanse: wash your face with a gentle cleanser such as Gluta Boost Face Wash and pat dry.
- Apply: take a pea-sized amount and dot it on forehead, cheeks and chin, then smooth over face and neck. Avoid the eyes.
- Let it absorb: give it a few minutes before lying down.
Morning
Cleanse, then apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). Sun exposure keeps creating new tan and dark spots, so this step protects the work of the night.
Good pairings
- Niacinamide: a gentle, well-studied ingredient often used with glutathione.
- Vitamin C: another antioxidant; use it in the morning if you have it.
- A simple moisturiser: if your skin feels dry.
Mistakes to avoid
- Using a thick layer: more cream does not work faster.
- Skipping sunscreen.
- Layering extra strong products on top. The GlutaNex Night Cream already contains retinol and salicylic acid, so skip other retinol, AHA/BHA or peel products on the same night.
- Going every night from day one: start 2 to 3 nights a week for the first two weeks.
- Changing products every week: give one routine 6 to 8 weeks.

How much glutathione cream to use
A pea-sized amount covers the face; add a little more for the neck. Using more does not give faster results and can increase irritation.
A sample 8-week plan
| Weeks | Night | Morning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Cream on 2 to 3 nights, gentle cleanser every night | Cleanser + sunscreen |
| 3–4 | Cream every other night if comfortable | Cleanser + sunscreen |
| 5–8 | Cream every night | Cleanser + sunscreen, reapply outdoors |
Glutathione cream for men
The routine is the same. Apply after shaving only once the skin has settled, as freshly shaved skin can sting.
