Glutathione supplements are often used for skin brightening, but their efficacy is modest and not guaranteed. In Type 1 diabetes, safety is a priority—glutathione is generally safe but long-term effects are not well-studied in diabetics.
Next Steps
If you're considering oral glutathione, discuss it with your diabetologist first.
Focus on a consistent skincare routine:
Gentle cleanser (e.g. Cetaphil or Simple)
Niacinamide serum (helps brighten and reduce inflammation)
Moisturizer (e.g. Cetaphil, Minimalist Ceramide)
Sunscreen (SPF 30+ daily, even indoors)
Health Tips
Avoid steroid creams or unknown fairness products. Manage blood sugars well—skin dullness often improves with better glucose control.
