A doctor-supervised antioxidant course — ₹4,000 per session, usually 10 sessions — with an honest look at what the evidence shows.
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body makes naturally. In skin clinics it is given as a course of sessions, and many people try it hoping for a brighter, more even skin tone. The evidence for any skin-lightening effect is limited and results vary from person to person, so at Kezza Clinic glutathione is given only after a doctor's assessment, by Dr. Neelam Choudhary and Dr. Amrita Mukhija, at ₹4,000 per session, usually as a course of 10 sessions.
Read what the evidence says before you decideWe do not sell glutathione as a 'fairness' treatment. All skin tones are healthy skin; the aim is an even, well-cared-for complexion.
Glutathione is a small molecule made in almost every cell of the body from three amino acids. It is one of the body's main antioxidants, helping to neutralise free radicals and supporting the liver's normal detoxification work.
Its link with skin comes from laboratory research: glutathione appears to reduce the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme needed to make melanin, and to shift melanin production from the darker type (eumelanin) towards a lighter type (pheomelanin). Whether that translates into a visible, lasting change in people is much less certain.
Glutathione is available as tablets, creams and injections or intravenous (IV) infusions. In clinics it is usually given as a course of sessions. Ask your doctor which route and product your plan uses — the evidence and the risks differ by route, as the table below shows.
At Kezza we see glutathione as an optional add-on, not a solution for pigmentation. Problems such as melasma, tan and dark spots respond better to sun protection and treatments with stronger evidence, such as medical peels, Q-switch laser and prescription creams — see our pigmentation treatment page.
A widely cited review in the Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology (Sonthalia, Daulatabad and Sarkar, 2016) looked at the evidence in detail. Its main findings:
Regulators have also raised concerns. The US Food and Drug Administration states that it has not approved any injectable product for whitening or lightening skin, and has warned that such products may be unsafe, contaminated or counterfeit. The Philippines FDA has warned against off-label intravenous glutathione for skin lightening after reports of side effects.
That is why your doctor will talk you through the evidence, the risks and the alternatives before you decide — and why we never promise a change in skin colour.

At Kezza Clinic, glutathione costs ₹4,000 per session, usually as a course of 10 sessions. Your first visit is a doctor's assessment, where the route, product and plan are explained.
We do not offer glutathione as a fairness treatment. Small studies of tablets and creams have shown a modest lightening effect in some people, there is no good evidence that injections or drips work, and any effect tends to fade after stopping.
Tablets and creams are usually well tolerated. Injections and drips carry more risk, including rare but serious allergic and skin reactions, and danger from unregulated products. That is why it is given only after a medical assessment and in the clinic, never at home or from online products.
The usual course at Kezza is 10 sessions. Your doctor reviews the result at the end; if there is no benefit, there is no reason to continue.
Any effect on skin tone appears to be temporary and usually fades after glutathione is stopped. Daily sunscreen does more to keep an even tone.
It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for under-18s, or for people having cancer treatment, and needs care in people with kidney, liver or thyroid disease, asthma or serious allergies. Your doctor will check this at your assessment.
For melasma, dark spots and uneven tone, sun protection with treatments such as medical peels, Q-switch laser toning and prescription creams have stronger evidence. Your doctor can combine these into a plan.
Your first visit is a medical assessment: the doctor reviews your health and skin, explains the evidence and risks, and only then agrees a plan with you.
