A climate that challenges the skin
Living in Québec or elsewhere in Canada means facing a harsh climate. Our winters are long, dry, and freezing. Indoor heating used for over six months a year dries out the air, weakens the skin barrier, and leaves skin dull, rough, and uncomfortable. Add in wind and extreme temperature swings, and you get a recipe that pushes your skin to the edge.
At Vingt Neuf, we design skincare that rises to this reality. In that context, glutathione naturally earned its place—not as a fleeting trend, but as an intelligent cosmetic answer rooted in the real needs of Canadian skin.
What exactly Is glutathione?
Glutathione is a small molecule naturally found in every human cell. Composed of three amino acids (glutamate, cysteine, and glycine), it acts as an endogenous antioxidant. It helps the body neutralize free radicals, which accelerate premature skin aging.
In skincare:
Topically, glutathione is used as a supportive cosmetic ingredient. It is known for its ability to:
- Visibly even out skin tone
- Diminish the appearance of dark spots
- Enhance overall skin clarity and brightness
- Protect the skin from environmental stressors (UV, pollution, cold, heating)
At Vingt-Neuf, we use glutathione because of:
- Its compatibility with all skin types
- Its exceptional tolerance profile
- Its overall cosmetic impact on glow, comfort, and tone harmony
7 Common misconceptions
1. “Glutathione is dangerous for your skin.”
False. Topical glutathione is considered gentle and safe when used in well-formulated skincare products.
2. “It whitens or bleaches the skin.”
No. Glutathione does not lighten your natural complexion. It unifies, revives, and corrects dullness—without altering skin tone.
3. “It’s only for Black or dark-skinned individuals.”
Absolutely not. Every skin tone benefits. It targets skin quality, not skin color.
4. “It’s a new ingredient—we don’t know much about it.”
Incorrect. Glutathione has been known for decades and is naturally present in the body. Its cosmetic use is well-studied, regulated, and approved.
5. “I’ll become dependent on it.”
Not at all. There is no dependency effect. If you stop using it, your skin simply returns to its natural state—no damage.
6. “It only works via injection or supplements.”
Widespread myth. A well-designed topical formula can yield visible results especially for tone, clarity, and texture.
7. “It’s banned or controversial in Canada.”
Wrong. Glutathione is approved in Canadian cosmetics.
The 6 cosmetic benefits of glutathione
1. Reveals your skin’s natural glow
Say goodbye to dull, tired-looking skin. Glutathione supports a healthy, radiant glow even in the dead of winter.
2. Visibly evens out the complexion
Uneven tone, dark patches, discoloration—glutathione helps restore visual harmony.
3. Boosts a fresh, healthy skin look
Expect skin that looks smooth, alive, and cared for like you just left the spa.
4. Supports the skin’s natural defenses
It helps skin retain hydration, stay resilient, and glow even through cold, dry seasons.
5. Enhances all complexions
Glutathione works with elegance and respect, without discrimination.
6. Fits seamlessly into your routine
Even one glutathione-infused product as a cream, lotion, or oil can elevate your whole regimen.
Our most frequently asked customer questions:
“Can I use your glutathione products if I have sensitive skin or eczema?”
Yes. Glutathione is known for its high tolerance. Our formulas are gentle, with no harsh alcohol or irritants.
“Are these products only made for Black skin?”
No. They’re made for every woman living through the Canadian climate regardless of skin tone.
“Do I need to use multiple products for it to work?”
Not at all. A single glutathione-infused cream, oil, or body lotion can be enough to make a real difference.
