Glutathione will not reduce the Sebum secretion but will help in skin lightening. For excessive sebum secretion you have to use certain facewashes and creams that help controlling it.
Next Steps
Kindly do a direct consult for further management
Health Tips
Avoid moisturisers and moisturising soaps on the face
