For people with dark brown skin, glutathione takes 3-6 months to lighten the skin.
However, people with very dark skin may see the lightning effect of glutathione in 6-12 months.
Side effects on the use of injectable glutathione for skin lightening include toxic effects on the liver, kidneys, and nervous system.
Also of concern is the possibility of Stevens Johnson Syndrome.
Injectable glutathione is sometimes paired with intravenous Vitamin C.

The glutathione whitening effects are permanent only if you will maintain it (by avoiding exposure to sunlight).
You won't go back to your original skin color even if you stop taking these supplements, however, there is a tendency for you to be tan or darken your skin if you expose yourself to sunlight and other harsh elements.
