For dry skin: use a creamy, non-foaming face wash and a nourishing night cream. Creams with oils and butters suit you well.

For normal skin: most formulas will suit you. Keep the routine simple and use it every day.

For oily or acne-prone skin: use a gel face wash and gel sunscreen, and a thin layer of night cream. Start 3 nights a week. A niacinamide serum can help too: glutathione vs niacinamide.

For sensitive skin: patch test for a full 48 hours, start with 2–3 nights a week, and skip scrubs and heavily fragranced products.

For tan: daily sunscreen is your most important step. Most tans fade in 2–8 weeks once you protect your skin. Read next: glutathione for tan removal.

For acne marks: don’t pick or squeeze, and only apply the cream on healed skin. Brown marks can take several months to fade. Read next: glutathione for acne marks.

For dull skin: sleep, water and a colourful diet help as much as any cream. Read next: what glutathione does for your skin and foods that boost glutathione.

For brown patches: this could be melasma, which is best treated with a dermatologist’s plan. Glutathione may help as a supportive extra, not a main treatment. Read next: glutathione for melasma.

For underarms, elbows or dark circles: friction, shaving and sleep all play a part. Read next: glutathione for underarms and glutathione for dark circles.
