Glutathione can help for a brief period

Hello
Thanks for the query.
Glutathione cream like any other skin lightening cream works well but the response remains only till the time you use it.
There is no permanent measure to make skin fairer as it is genetically determined.
Use sunscreen on regular basis.
Letme know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
