The "Master Antioxidant": Why Your Skin Needs Glutathione
We talk a lot about Vitamin C and Retinol, but there’s a secret weapon in the world of high-end skincare that I need to put on your radar: Glutathione.
If you’re looking for that lit-from-within glow, this is the ingredient doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. It’s a "master antioxidant" that occurs naturally in our bodies, but as with all the good stuff (looking at you, collagen), our levels start to dip as we get older.
Here is why I’ve made it a staple at Lois Daisy and why your anti-ageing routine isn't complete without it.
What actually is it?
Think of Glutathione as your skin’s personal bodyguard. Its main job is to neutralise the "free radicals" caused by sun exposure, pollution, and stress—the things that usually lead to dullness and fine lines.
In fact, studies have shown that it can reduce cell oxidation (the process that makes skin look "tired") by up to 30% more than Vitamin C. It’s also a genius at calming down the enzyme that causes hyperpigmentation, making it a must-have for evening out your skin tone.
Why I’m obsessed with the "Inside-Out" approach
Most people only treat their skin from the outside, but to get real, long-lasting results, we need to look at what’s happening internally. This is where mesoestetic® really shines. They’ve developed a "double-defence" system that I swear by:
1. The Shield: aox ferulic
This is an intensive antioxidant concentrate that acts like a biological shield. It’s packed with Vitamin C and Ferulic acid, but the addition of Glutathione is the secret sauce. It stops collagen from breaking down and gives you that "instant radiance" we’re all chasing.
Lois’s Tip: You activate this one yourself to keep the ingredients fresh and potent. Apply it every morning before your SPF to protect your skin from the day’s environmental stressors.
2. The Internal Support: aox glutathione
This is a "nutricosmetic"—a fancy way of saying a skin supplement that works from within. These are mouth-dissolving tablets that help combat glycation.
Wait, what’s glycation? > It’s a process where excess sugar in your body attaches to your collagen and makes it "stiff" and brittle. This is what leads to sagging and wrinkles. By taking a supplement like this, you’re literally protecting your skin’s structure from your morning latte or that weekend treat.
The Bottom Line
If you want skin that’s firm, luminous, and resilient, you need to be thinking about antioxidants beyond just your basic serum. Combining a topical shield with internal support is the gold standard for anti-ageing.
