Not on its own: Glutathione is inactive by itself but with n-acetylcysteine it can be active. I have heard as an infusion it can lighten the skin two fitzpatrick levels.

Safe but worthless: Save your money. Ignore the glowing claims. There is no benefit to anybody except those who take your money.
