MEDICUBE: Age-r Glutathione Glow Toner (140ml)

Glutathione and peptides in a milky bi-phase toner help support glow, hydration, and smoother texture.

The Age-R Glutathione Glow Toner utilizes a bi-phase delivery system to integrate lipophilic and hydrophilic actives into a single clinical protocol.
The primary active, Glutathione, is a tripeptide that serves as a cornerstone of the skin's endogenous antioxidant defense system.
Mechanistically, glutathione functions by shifting the melanogenesis pathway from the production of dark eumelanin to the lighter pheomelanin, resulting in a systemic brightening effect.
It also plays a critical role in the redox cycle, regenerating other antioxidants like Vitamin C and E, thereby amplifying the skin's defense against oxidative damage.
The 'cream' layer of the toner contains a complex of signaling peptides that target the extracellular matrix.
These peptides stimulate the production of fibronectin and type IV collagen at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), which is essential for maintaining skin firmness and preventing the 'sagging' appearance that often precedes visible wrinkles.
Clinical data confirms a 16.
7% improvement in skin radiance immediately following application, a result of the formulation’s ability to smooth the micro-relief of the stratum corneum, allowing for more uniform light reflection.
The inclusion of Niacinamide further supports this process by strengthening the barrier and reducing inflammation.
The bi-phase structure ensures that the lipid barrier is replenished while the deeper layers receive the water-soluble antioxidants.
This synergy addresses the two primary components of 'glass skin': a smooth, hydrated surface and an even, pigment-free dermal base.
By maintaining this high level of hydration and antioxidant protection for 24 hours, the toner provides a sustained biological environment for skin health and radiance.
