Antioxidants have long been dermatologist Nicholas Perricone’s weapon of
choice in the battle against aging. In the past he laced his products
with vitamin C and alpha-lipoic acid, and now he’s bringing in the big
guns. Glutathione, widely considered one of the strongest antioxidants,
is the star of his newest cream.Perricone had his eye on the ingredient for years but hadn’t come across an effective way to deliver it to skin cells. Recently, however, he discovered a fatty acid that does the trick. The result, Perricone MD Acyl-Glutathione cream, aims to fight fine lines, sagging, and dullness—and has a pleasantly light texture, to boot (perriconemd.com; $175).
