Why Dry Skin Struggles to Shine

Dry skin can be a frustrating challenge, often leading to dullness, roughness, and a lack of radiance. The underlying issue lies in the skin’s inability to retain moisture, leading to a compromised barrier function.

  • Increased Pigmentation: Dry skin is more susceptible to sun damage, leading to increased pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

The Power of Glutathione and Ceramides for Dry Skin

Glutone-Hydra MM meets top safety criteria with both GRAS and FSSAI approvals and comes with dermatologist endorsements. Its safety and effectiveness are well-established, underscoring Glutone’s dedication to premium skincare products for radiant results.

  • Hydration Boost: Ceramosides™ help restore your skin’s natural moisture barrier, preventing transepidermal water loss and promoting a hydrated complexion.

  • Improved Skin Barrier: By strengthening your skin’s barrier, Glutone-Hydra Mouth Melt helps your skin retain moisture more effectively, leading to a radiant glow.
