Professional Topical use

Glutathione + Vit C Lyophilized is a sterile cosmetic for professional topical use, formulated for aesthetic protocols aimed at improving the appearance of photoageing, visible hyperpigmentation and dull or lacklustre skin. Its composition combines glutathione and vitamin C in a lyophilised format that protects oxidisable active ingredients and enhances their antioxidant capacity on the skin.

What Glutathione + Vit C Lyophilized is

It is an antioxidant solution from the Institute BCN BCN Classics line, presented in a vial of sterile lyophilised powder. It has been developed for salon and clinic use within professional anti-ageing and depigmenting cosmetic protocols, especially when the aim is to visibly improve dark spots, lentigines, melasma, dull tone, uneven texture and visible signs of photoageing.

Professional cosmetic indication

Indicated for professional cosmetic protocols focused on anti-ageing and hyperpigmentation. It can also be integrated into aesthetic routines where it is desirable to reinforce antioxidant action, visibly improve skin radiance, prevent and reduce the appearance of lentigines, melasma, chloasma and post-inflammatory dark spots, and support the cosmetic treatment of photoaged skin.

Key cosmetic benefits

• Helps prevent and improve the visible signs of skin ageing.
• Helps neutralise free radicals, the main cause of photoageing.
• Promotes skin with greater radiance and a visibly more even tone and texture.
• Supports professional cosmetic protocols for lentigines, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• Helps protect the skin against damage associated with the photoageing process.
• Helps improve the visible elasticity of the skin.

Lyophilised product

Glutathione + Vit C Lyophilized is a lyophilised product that has undergone a dehydration process by freezing and subsequent sublimation of ice under reduced pressure. Thanks to lyophilisation, a fast-redissolving product is obtained that preserves its original capabilities and properties, while keeping its oxidisable constituents and active ingredients protected.

How to reconstitute it

• Reconstitution Dilute the contents of the vial in 2 ml of deionised or sterile water
• Mixing Mix until a homogeneous solution is obtained

Indications described in the technical documentation

• Photoageing.
• Dull, lacklustre skin.
• Melasma, chloasma or pregnancy mask.
• Solar lentigo or age spots, also known as liver spots.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Extended technical information

The Institute BCN technical documentation presents Glutathione + Vit C Lyophilized as an antioxidant cocktail that replicates the skin’s antioxidant structure, keeps vitamin C stable in the skin and enhances its properties. Glutathione and vitamin C act together as network antioxidants that mutually recycle each other from their radicalised form back to their active antioxidant form.

Through this process of mutual regeneration, both antioxidants enhance and expand their capabilities, working within and around the mitochondria, where most cellular oxidation takes place. This approach makes the formula a particularly interesting option for cosmetic protocols targeting photoageing and visible hyperpigmentation.

The technical sheet explains that glutathione is a powerful antioxidant present inside every cell, involved in the regulation of different cellular events, the repair and synthesis of proteins and DNA, the immune response, the metabolism of toxins and carcinogens, and the prevention of fat oxidation. It also participates in the body’s detoxification processes and in the visible brightening of the skin.

Ascorbic acid, meanwhile, is described as one of the main non-enzymatic water-soluble antioxidants. Vitamin C is necessary for collagen synthesis, stimulates the activity of cutaneous fibroblasts, helps stabilise procollagen messenger RNA and participates in collagen cross-linking, providing strength to the tissue. In the cosmetic field, this reinforces its interest for skin with photoageing, dull tone and visible hyperpigmentation.

The photoageing process

The technical documentation explains that photoageing is the premature deterioration of the skin due to excessive ultraviolet radiation. It manifests as wrinkles, skin discolouration, dryness, crow’s feet, dilation or rupture of small superficial blood vessels, atrophy, uneven thinning, sagging, furrows, brown spots and long-term changes to collagen.

In photoaged skin, the fibres of the dermis appear fragmented, thickened and grouped in a disordered manner. This results in hyperpigmented, rough and dull skin, with hyperkeratinisation and a build-up of dead cells on the surface that slow down the natural cell renewal process.

The hyperpigmentation process

The technical documentation notes that skin pigmentation caused by excess melanin is a defence mechanism against free radicals generated by solar radiation. However, in some cases this pigmentation becomes irregular and excessive, giving rise to visible hyperpigmented dark spots such as melasma and lentigo.

Melasma is an acquired hypermelanosis that appears mainly on sun-exposed areas, especially the face, and may be associated with pregnancy or oral contraceptives. Solar lentigines, in turn, darken over time due to the accumulation of ultraviolet radiation. In this context, the combination of glutathione and vitamin C reinforces the cosmetic work on these visible alterations.

Cosmetic action of glutathione and vitamin C

Network antioxidant action

Institute BCN presents the combination as an antioxidant network in which glutathione and vitamin C mutually regenerate each other to remain in their active form. This action enhances their cosmetic efficacy against oxidative stress and visible skin ageing.

Support for photoageing

The technical documentation positions this cocktail as an active of interest for photoaged skin, as it helps neutralise free radicals and protect the skin against damage caused by this process.

Support for visible hyperpigmentation

Glutathione is involved in the melanogenic pathway and its antimelanogenic effect, while vitamin C contributes to cosmetic work on the visible evenness of tone. This synergy reinforces the product’s interest for melasma, lentigines and post-inflammatory dark spots.

Support for collagen and elasticity

Vitamin C participates in collagen synthesis and stabilisation, while the overall antioxidant effect helps better preserve the tissue structure. The expected result is skin with improved visible elasticity and a more even appearance.

Improvement of radiance and texture

The technical documentation highlights that the formula provides radiance to the skin and helps improve even tone and texture, making it a suitable option for dull, lacklustre or low-radiance skin.

Professional salon and clinic use profile

Glutathione + Vit C Lyophilized is intended for professionals looking for an intensive antioxidant active for facial protocols. It is especially useful for skin with visible photoageing, dark spots, melasma, lentigines, uneven tone, lack of radiance and a need for enhanced antioxidant support.
